Jakarta Board Report
== June 2007 Jakarta Board Report == === Status === Another 2 projects have left Jakarta to live on their own : POI and Turbine and both of almost (or completely) finished the move. I like to wish the projects the best and a very good and long lasting future. In a seperate mail there is a TLP proposal for commons, which on acceptance will mean that the biggest part of the Jakarta community have no direct ties anymore with Jakarta. The focus after commons will be on the projects left at Jakarta and see if there is possibility for them to go TLP or when that is not viable or possible, find a suitable solution for those projects. My explicit wish is that there will be no deadline for projects to move so there will be enough time to find the best solution, instead of the quickest solution. We owe that to all the people in those projects who invest a lot of time and energy in those projects. One of the big discussions that took place was about the future of Jakarta and the thing we in majority agreed on (at least the people who spoke up) is that it is worth to save the Jakarta brand. Since I prefer to spend the energy and time I have in the projects that are left at Jakarta, I decided not to invest time on what will happen to the Jakarta brand at this time, simply because they deserve my time and energy and out of respect for the projects that still currently have their existance at Jakarta. If the board decides to not esablish the commons TLP, we need to go back to the drawing table. All in all : a lot is happening and a lot is going to happen in the months to come. If there is reason to do so, I will provide extra board reports besides the quarterly schedule. Reports prefixed with MvdB are written by me. === Releases === * 30 March 2007 - !HttpComponents !HttpCore 4.0 alpha 4 released * 4 April 2007 - Commons DBCP 1.2.2 * 8 April 2007 - Commons Configuration 1.4 * 18 May 2007 - POI 3.0 Final released * 6 June 2007 - JCS 1.3 released === Community changes === New committers, pmc persons, asf members and departures. * New Committers * Ben Speakmon was voted in as a Commons Committer * Alf Hogemark was voted in as a JMeter Committer * Asankha C. Perera was voted in as a !HttpComponents Committer * M. Johnson (although not new, his account was created just now, because of CLA problems). (POI) * PMC Members * Thomas Vandahl was voted on to the PMC * Danny Angus was persuaded to come back on the PMC. * Ant Elder was voted on the PMC. Fixed the bookkeeping on the addition of Nick Burch to the Jakarta PMC (that was reported in the December 2006 report. === Infrastructure news === The only things currently happening is the move of infrastructure for the Turbine and POI TLP projects. === General project news === The Jakarta PMC has started to review all Jakarta projects whether they contain or rely on cryptographic software and if they must be marked as described on http://apache.org/dev/crypto. This is an ongoing process and we expect some corner cases where we will need legal advice. === Subproject news === BCEL No activity. BSF MvdB :Silent quarter. A talk for Apachecon US was accepted (Rony Flatcher), which will hopefully increase the user base (observation : since the user list is also pretty quiet it can mean that BSF is bug free or it needs more users) Cactus MvdB: The ip clearance finally passed, so Petar is now able to (re)integrate his code into the cactus codebase. Commons A commons TLP resolution was sent to the Board at the same time of this board report. 31 March 2007 - vote passed to promote the JCI (Java Compiler Interface) to a proper component (from the Sandbox). ''Chain'' * Ready for a 1.2 bugfix release. ''CLI'' * Gearing up for a 1.1 release. ''Configuration'' * 8 April 2007 - Configuration 1.4 released ''DBCP'' * 1 April 2007 DBCP 1.2.2 released ''IO'' * Gearing up for a 1.3.2 bugfix release. ''JCI'' * Gearing up for a first 1.0 release. ''JXPath'' * Gearing up for a 1.3 release. ''Logging'' * Needs someone to do a 1.1.1 bugfix release. ''Math'' * Gearing up for a 1.2 release. ''SCXML'' * Working towards a 0.7 release. ECS Nothing happened on the ECS front. HttpComponents Work on the first alpha of !HttpClient 4.0 has made good progress. We expect to release client-alpha1 and the matching core-alpha5 shortly. There is currently no release manager for a potential !HttpClient 3.1 final release. Since the RC1 was released only in March, this is not an immediate problem. Bug reports are still dripping in, and bugs keep getting fixed. But we'll need to find a volunteer eventually. Various options to spin off !HttpComponents from Jakarta are being discussed. This could improve the focus of the active members of the !HttpComponents (sub-)community. JCS JCS 1.3 has been released. Thomas Vandahl acted as the release
