Re: Incubator 2006Q1 Status Report to the ASF Board
About Axion : the db PMC is going to request removal of Axion (at least I pinged them about Axion and that was the reply).. Mvgr, Martin Noel J.

RE: Incubator 2006Q1 Status Report to the ASF Board
Martin, Even if it hadn't, we'd remove it. The project simply never came in, despite being approved. It stayed at tigris.org. --- Noel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Incubator 2006Q1 Status Report to the ASF Board
Status report for the Apache Incubator Project The Incubator continues to see good progress in a number of projects and their communities. Several items of note from this past quarter: We have had some discussion regarding the rate of growth, how to manage it, how to ensure proper oversight. We have not finalized any policy changes, but should do so shortly. There is a sometimes not-so-subtle- tension between oversight and nimbleness, and we're trying to give as much of the latter as possible without sacrificing the former. We have also had a discussion regarding importing external codebases, with the conclusion that where possible, we DO want to import the entire history. This will require some help from Infrastructure to help us swizzle the imported authors into some canonical format that won't collide with our ASF author namespace. People are unhappy with the state of building the web site. There are two possible paths: switching our content to anakia format, or improvement in the usability of Forrest. Which path we take will depend upon the energy invested by those who want to help effect the change. Jean T. Anderson has helped to revise the Incubator Guidelines, although we will have to continue the process. - 0 - The list of projects in the Incubator is at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/. Here are the STATUS reports from the PPMCs. The drafts were collected at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorBoardReport2006Q1. Axion never began Incubation, despite having been approved by the DB PMC, and will likely be removed from the list in this quarter. AltRMI, FTPServer, Tobago and WSRP4J failed to provide quarterly reports. Several projects below have graduated, and are noted as such, but until they participate by updating their Incubator documents to indicate that fact, I will continue to ping them. PMCs must help to maintain the content for which they are responsible, or we will never be able to scale. AltRMI has gained no traction, and is likely to leave the Incubator to go elsewhere. FTPServer has added two new Committers, and we see continued activity to revitalize a once dormant project. I addressed the e-mail delivery problem I mentioned in the last quarterly report by adding myself to the allow list for every PMC mailing list. Projects ActiveMQ The full status of incubation is at http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/ActiveMQ_Incubation. In summary we're most of the way through incubation now, things have been progressing very well; the code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.activemq namespace and is generally working well now. We've got the software grants sorted and most developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created (we've a few more to do once we know the CLAs are on file). We've voted on a milestone release which should go out soon once we've figured out the practicalities of doing an incuabtor milestone release. Our main outstanding issue now is creating the full website at Apache - which should be done in the next week or two - for now there is a simple home page. Apollo Has already graduated. Agila Project is moving along with an interested core continuing to work on the software. Progress is still slow in terms of community building. Recent additions to the incubator in areas of SOA such as Tuscany, ServiceMix, Celtix etc offer an opportunity for Agila's workflow and BPEL implementations. Axion *HAS YET TO START, AND WILL LIKELY BE REMOVED* AltRMI * NO REPORT PROVIDED * Felix Mostly a quarter of contributions and new committers that came with them: Domoware Contribution HttpService Contribution WireAdmin Contribution M2 plugin and archetype for OSGi projects completed Organized repository structure R4 released and ASL compatible ... Might want to list the new committers here: Rob Walker ... FtpServer * NO REPORT PROVIDED * Graffito Graffito has nicely grown recently with activity encouraged by the final release of Jetspeed 2.0 and good progress made on the JCR support though Jackrabbit. We've just added a new committer : Alexandru Popescu and some existing Portals committers also actively contributing to the integration of Graffito with Portals. Harmony Harmony project has moved out of it's initial phase in which it formalized contribution and other governance issues and has now accepted two major class library code contributions, one from IBM and one from Intel. Work continues on those two codebases, with topics ranging from bug fixing, enhancements, as well as other topics such as how to organize test framework and documentation. Two releases of snapshots are imminent, one of a basic VM implementation (JCHEVM) and one of the current classlibrary. We are doing this to make it easier for users to work with the software.
