What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.
These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.
Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is in maintenance mode with minimal development activity. I believe there are at least three PMC members providing oversight still. Recently there have been a couple of user requests for a new release to pick up updated dependencies, hopefully that will get done during the next quarter. The last release was over two years ago, the last commiter / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is in maintenance mode with minimal development activity. I believe there are at least three PMC members providing oversight still. This quarter the main activity was a user getting help with a problem upgrading their application. Turned out to be an AXIOM bug that was fixed by a new AXIOM release but the debugging was done in the Abdera JIRA which I think shows again why retiring projects to the Attic is not ideal. The last release was over two years ago, the last commiter / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. No activity and it looks like Abdera will be retired to the attic now. We need to mention this on the dev list and then if there are no objections i'll endevour to get a retirement resolution by the next report. No board issues.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is very very quiet with no activity for months, and I've been missing doing the board reports for it. A few months ago i asked if someone else would volunteer to be chair but had no offers, I've asked again now and if no one steps up again by the next report i'll propose the project is moved to the Attic.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is very quiet. There are occasional emails and bug reports, which sometimes take a little while to get actioned. The most frequent activity is dealing with misfiled bug reports - Abdera is top in the project list in the ASF JIRA system and the default project choice so often gets bug reports for other ASF projects. While the code is not being actively developed there are still a few PMC members watching the lists so i don't see any problems with keeping on in this quiet state for the time being. The last release was over one year ago, the last committer / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is very quiet. The only activity recently has been around cleaning up the dist areas at the request of infra, and setting up svnpubsub to help with that.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is very quiet, almost dormant. There was one bug report recently, no one has had a chance to investigate it yet, other than that there has been little activity in the project. It might be worth thinking about moving to the attic but while there are still a few PMC members watching the lists I think its probably ok to keep the project alive for now. The last release was one year ago, the last committer / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Very quiet quarter, other than a few JIRA issues not much going on at all over summer. The last release was 7 months ago, the last committer / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. The previous board report was in March so this one is slightly early. Activity in Abdera is low but there have been about 20 commits from a couple of committers this year. The last release was 4 months ago. There have been no committer or PMC member changes, its been 18 months since the last PMC addition. No board issues.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Activity in Abdera is low but there is a steady stream of commits, mainly for bug fixes and minor updates. Three committers have been committing since the last board report and we even managed to get a release out in January this year. There have been no committer or PMC member changes, its been a long time since there has been any. No board issues.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Activity in Abdera had died down and the last board report suggested we'd start looking at retiring the project. We did have some discussion about doing that but no decisions yet. However, that seems to have spurred on a couple of committers and there now has been 25 commits in the last month. Hopefully that will continue and we'll now be able to manage the votes necessary to get a release out, will have to see how things go, but for now, retiring seems premature.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Activity in Abdera has died down. In the last quarter there have been no releases, no new committers, no PMC membership changes, and no commits since early March. Its been over a year since the last release. There was an attempt at another release but it didn't manage to get three votes. Earlier in the year a lot of work was done on an Abdera v2 and there has been some discussion about spinning parts of that off into a separate sub project around Activity Streams. There are 3 or 4 PMC members intermittently active but its too sporadic and the lack of activity makes it difficult for anyone contributing. In the next quarter I expect we'll be discussing if its possible to continue or if its time to be moved to the attic. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. After being very quiet for months there has been a lot more activity this quarter on a major update for a new version of the code. This has a lot of cool new features and restructuring improvements, and has made a lot of progress and is almost ready for the first v2.0 release. It is though still largely the work of a single person but does look like its attracting interest of the existing Abdera community which we're trying to engage with and encourage to help so we can add more committers. Other than the talk and prep for the v2.0 release there have been no other releases, and no new committers or PMC member changes. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. After being fairly quiet there has been a lot more activity over the last couple of months but still with a very small number of active committers. A trunk release was made to get a few bug fixes and user patches released, however that has not yet managed to get the required +1 votes to release it. An old inactive committer has returned doing a lot of development on a new Abdera version 2, and this appears to be making a lot of good progress.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera continues to be fairly quiet. There have been no releases for 7 months and no committer or PMC changes for a year. There have been about 30 commits this year from three different committers, some as recently as July. There are emails on the user list that mostly get answered and occasionally patches get submitted and applied or bugs get fixed, and so far whenever a new release has been asked for it has been done.
No report was submitted and will be requested for next month.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera was very quiet this quarter. There were no commits or dev list discussion and just a few posts to the user list and one new patch from a user submitted. There are no board level issues at this time.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera continues with a fairly quiet low level of activity. There is not much new development but bug fixing and related enhancements continue, the user list has a small steady stream of user posts, often which get answered by other users and/or fixed by developers. There have been two releases this quarter, 1.1.1, and 1.1.2, no new committers or PMC members. There are no board level issues at this time.
Abdera continues with a fairly quiet low level of activity. There have been no releases this quarter but a number of patches have been submitted and a new release to get those out is now underway. We voted in one new committer however so far he has been unable to get approval from his employer to sign the ICLA. There have been no PMC member changes. The user list has a small steady stream of user posts, often which get answered by other users or developers. There are no board level issues at this time.
Abdera continues with a fairly quiet level activity. There was a flurry of development around the time of the 1.1 release but it's been fairly quiet since then though there are regular posts to the dev and user lists which do get dealt with. Abdera has done one release this quarter, 1.1, and there's a 1.1.1 maintenance release being discussed which should happen in the next quarter. There has been one new PMC member has been added, Christine Koppelt. There were no new committers. The user list has a small steady stream of user posts, often which get answered by other users. There are no board level issues at this time.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera graduated from the Incubator in November 2008 and then lost momentum and has a fairly inactive developer community for most its life, however this quarter there has been a lot of good progress and things are looking brighter. The old 1.0 release that was voted on back in Jan 2009 but never published has now been published and the website updated. The trunk code which has been unbuildable has been fixed, and nightly builds are now running on Hudson. With the trunk buildable again old JIRAs have had their patches applied, and a new release is planned in the next week or two. Two new committers have been vote in. There is still a very small developer community but the future now looks more promising.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC 5023) specifications. Abdera graduated from the Incubator in November 2008. Abdera still has very low activity. We've almost published the 1.0 release that was done shortly after leaving the Incubator but never quite released and that should happen in the next quarter. There was discussion of code donation of a new Activity Streams extension from some new users and one of the old inactive Abdera committers said they'd have time again to help with Abdera development. So the next quarter hopefully will be a more productive. There have been no committer or PMC changes in the last quarter, and there are no board level issues at this time.
Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC 5023) specifications. Abdera graduated from the Incubator in November 2008. Abdera has struggled to maintain a developer community, since graduating there have been no releases, a total of 40 commits, and no commits since June. A 1.0 release almost happened but a couple of main developers left in the middle and the release was never published. The last board reports were missed and last month I (not an Abdera committer) became PMC chair as no one else would do it. Despite the neglect Abdera has gained some traction as there's not much else available for Java Atom support, there is still some activity on the mailing lists, JIRAs get raised and patches get posted, however its difficult to apply them as the last commits broke trunk so it no longer builds. Since last month we've had some discussion about resurecting the 1.0 release which looks like it will now happen, then I'd like to get trunk fixed so it builds again and start applying patches which may help get some old committers active again, and also encourage some new ones. Realistically its going to be tough, so in six months or so we may be looking at moving to the Attic.
There has been little activity in the Abdera project in recent months. Other than the occasional user question (which generally gets answered relatively quickly) there is little activity on the mailing lists, and there is virtually no development work going on. As far as I can tell the committers are simply off doing other things. In personnel matters, Garrett Rooney has stepped down as PMC chair, and Ant Elder has been nominated to replace him. While Ant is not currently a member of the Abdera PMC, he is the PMC chair for Apache Tuscany, which makes use of Abdera, so we have full faith in his ability to handle the job.
No report provided. Noted that Garrett had indicated an intention of stepping down and that development activity seems to have ceased.
No report provided.
Abdera has been largely quiet over the past few months. Work on the 1.0 release stalled due to the personal lives of various committers taking over their free time. Fortunately, James Snell has been picking things up off the ground over the past few weeks. There have been a number of threads about the future direction of the project, and a large number of jira issues have been addressed and resolved. Once the remaining backlog of issues is taken care of a 1.0 release will hopefully be rolled. Unfortunately, Garrett Rooney has not been able to give the project the attention it deserves as PMC chair over the past few months, so he'll be stepping down shortly. Hopefully a new PMC chair can be found by the next board meeting. There are no other issues that require board attention.
Abdera has been relatively quiet since the last report. Our 1.0 release is still in the works, although work has slowed down due to real life interfering in the free time available to the committers who were largely responsible for pushing the release forward. Traffic on the mailing lists remains low, although there are occasional user questions from time to time. There are no issues that require board attention at this time.
Abdera has been fairly quiet since the last report. We finished the last little bits of the transition to TLP status that were missed last month, and have started to move towards releasing a 1.0 release. Once some packaging issues are taken care of that should go out the door, as people seem pretty pleased with the state of the code. Traffic on the mailing lists is light, but questions from users keep coming in and get answered in a reasonable period of time. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
Since graduating from the incubator Abdera has been largely concerned with transitioning from the incubator to TLP. All infrastructure related tasks have now been completed and Abdera is completely out of the incubator. The main discussion over the past month has been over the next release. The original plan had been to do a 0.5 release as soon as we had completed our graduation, but now it is looking likely that we will simply call the next release 1.0, as there are no planned changes to the API expected in the near future. With luck the release should happen within the next few weeks, although the holidays may delay that. There have been no changes in committers or PMC members, and there are no other issues the board needs to be aware of at this time.
Technical accomplishments:
* Support for AtomPub multipart creation:
http://atompub-mulitpart-spec.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draft-gregorio-atompu
b-multipart-02.txt
* OpenSearh support improved, it covers the openSearch specification
completely.
* RequestProcessors refactor.
* A lot of bugs fixed.
Community:
* Jim Ancona and David Calavera joined the project as committers.
* Traffic is increasing in both users and developers lists.
Issues before graduation:
Currently we've more than three active committers from diferent
companies. Although we have to finish the documentation and solve some
controversial stuff we are hoping to bring the issue to a vote in the next
months.
Abdera is an implementation of the Atom feed format and publishing protocol. * Release 0.3.0-incubating was released with many new features and fixes. * Dan Diephouse joined the project as a committer and has been working on significant improvements to the Abdera server code * Documentation for the project has been greatly improved. * There are ongoing performance improvements * The project is working towards graduation, with the primary remaining goal being diversity of committers. === Buildr === Description - Buildr is a build system for Java applications written in Ruby. Date of Entry - Nov. 2007 Buildr is a brand new project (see the proposal at [1]), it's just been accepted in the Incubator this month. Most of the project infrastructure has been setup: status page, svn, jira, mailing lists. The code grant has been submitted (and ack'ed), the buildr community has been notified of the migration and the code import will probably be done during ApacheCon in Atlanta.

Date of entry: May 2006 Abdera is an implementation of the Atom feed format and publishing protocol. Code wise there has been a bunch of work done to update the publishing protocol implementation to match the latest versions of the internet draft (which will become the RFC). The code is currently being prepared for a new release. On the community side we added a new committer (Brian Moseley) who has been using Abdera's server side code in the Cosmo project and has contributed back various improvements. We continue to see a steady stream of questions about the project, which implies that it is being used. The only remaining goal to be reached before graduation is diversity related, while we do have more than the minimum number of committers from separate companies there remains some concern about the fact that many of them are not overly active. Lokahi -- DID NOT REPORT
Abdera is an implementation of the Atom Publishing Protocol and Atom Syndication Format. Incubating since: 2006-06-05 Abdera has continued work on version 0.3.0, and is waiting for the Atom Publication Protocol to be completed by the Atom WG so that we can finalize support for it. Additionally, there was some discussion of the best way to handle vendor specific extensions in Abdera. The consensus seems to be that there was no objection to having them as long as the extension was clearly defined in a public spec that was available under reasonable licensing terms. We continue to see questions from new community members, which indicates that the code is being used, and when possible we've been trying to encourage them to contribute back to the project. Hopefully that will result in some new committers in the reasonably near future.
