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.

## Description: The mission of Apache ActiveMQ is the creation and maintenance of software implementing a distributed messaging system ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: See below ### The PMC has voted to move ActiveMQ Artemis into its own TLP. HornetQ was originally donated to the ActiveMQ project with the intention that it would become the next generation broker and eventually replace the original ActiveMQ broker and become ActiveMQ 6. It was renamed to Artemis and became a subproject of ActiveMQ, which was going to be temporary until it was ready. However, it was decided a couple years ago that this was no longer the goal and both brokers (ActiveMQ "Classic" and Artemis) will continue to be supported and maintained indefinitely as there are distinct developers and users of both brokers. ActiveMQ "Classic" has since had a 6.0 release and Artemis will not be replacing it. Because there is very little overlap between the two brokers (both developers and users) and there is no goal to replace either, the PMC voted to split Artemis into its own TLP. This should benefit both projects by allowing them to continue independently and also clear up any confusion in the community. ## Membership Data: Apache ActiveMQ was founded 2007-01-16 (19 years ago) There are currently 64 committers and 30 PMC members in this project.

We also see new contributors who submitted new PRs. On Classic, we are moving forward on JMS 3.1 and preparing a proposal for runtime for ActiveMQ 7.

releases), and bunch of other improvements.
##### ActiveMQ 5.18.0 development planning has started. The work we started
around JMS 2 support has been postponed to ActiveMQ 5.18.0 in order to
give us time to clean tests and review.

updates with the community
** JIRA clean-up underway to archive outdated and abandoned issues with the
goal of improving usefulness to developers and users.
* ActiveMQ Artemis
** Version 2.18.0 was released with some major new features:
*** "Dual Mirror" support which improves disaster recovery capabilities
*** A journal retention feature which will help in emergency recovery
situations
*** Replication integration with Zookeeper
*** A broker "load balancer" mode which can shard work-loads between brokers

* Activity
** ActiveMQ
*** 5.16.1 has been released on 2021-01-20 fixing CVE and issues on the 5.16.x
series (5.16.x series is running compliant with JDK 9+)
*** 5.15.15 release is in vote, fixing CVE (dependencies) and issues. We will
probably announce that 5.15.15 will be the last release on the 5.15.x,
inviting users to upgrade at least on 5.16.x.
*** 5.16.2 release will be released soon. We have one issue to fix (the broker
redelivery plugin doesn't work properly on 5.16.x) to fix before moving
forward with the release.
*** 5.17.x (main branch) is moving forward: we already have a PR allowing to
fully build with JDK 11+. Couple of PRs are almost ready to upgrade to
Spring 5.x and log4j2. JMS 2.x support (at least client side) and other
new features will come soon as well.
*** To give more visibility for the users, we discussed about renaming
ActiveMQ (from "ActiveMQ classic" to something else, to clearly identify
ActiveMQ and Artemis). This thread drives to a consensus to move forward
on the website (documentation mostly).
*** Some new features are in preparation as "PoC": replicated kahadb,
improvements on the Karaf support, ...
*** An effort is underway to clear up the outstanding ActiveMQ JIRA (AMQ-*) in
support of the new features planned for ActiveMQ 5.17. and beyond.
*** A standardized Docker container is being designed and planned to be
released alongside the 5.17.0 with JDK 11 release.
** ActiveMQ Artemis
*** ActiveMQ Artemis 2.17.0 has been released on 2021-02-11
*** ActiveMQ Artemis 2.18.0 to be released soon, with substantial improvements
on Disaster and Recovery capabilities introduced as part of AMQP Broker
Connections.
**** it will be possible to have two or more broker synchronized, improving
possibilities for failover scenarios.
**** significant hardening work on OpenWire advisories and Virtual Topics, to
support migrating users
**** smart replica packet batching, on shared nothing replication; greatly
improves performance of replication by saving network bandwidth.
** ActiveMQ CMS (C++ Clients)
*** Community contributors have expressed interest in modernizing the C++
clients to support more modern patterns as well as deprecate legacy
language features.

Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many cross language clients and protocols, comes with easy to use enterprise integration patterns and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 2.0, AMQP 1.0, MQTT, Stomp and REST. Activity ActiveMQ * Some folks are collaborating on the redesign/refactor of the ActiveMQ project website to give it a makeover and to better identify where activity is taking place * A vote was held to make the Apollo project read-only and indicate on both the ActiveMQ website and in the Apollo readme that the project is no longer under active development ActiveMQ Artemis * An Artemis Roadmap wiki page was created to identify the outstanding issues that must be addressed by Artemis in order to achieve some level of feature parity with ActiveMQ 5.x. The overall objective for working toward feature parity between ActiveMQ 5.x and Artemis is for Artemis to eventually become ActiveMQ 6.x. * The web console for Artemis has had good adoption with contributors beyond that of the originals contributing * Clebert Suconic hosted a video call to walk through the Aretmis code base with some folks Releases * ActiveMQ 5.15.2 was released on Fri Oct 20 2017 * ActiveMQ Artemis 2.4.0 was released on Tue Nov 7 2017 Committer Changes * Michael André Pearce at Fri Sep 29 2017

server. Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many Cross Language Clients
and Protocols, comes with easy to use Enterprise Integration Patterns
and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE
1.4.
Community:
* The development and user lists continue to stay active.
* Several ActiveMQ based presentation were given at Apachecon NA.
* The ActiveMQ community has voted to name the HortnetQ code donation
ActiveMQ Artemis.
* Apache board members requested a special report to address what the
plan is of the hornetq code donation. There were some specific
question what were directed at the PMC:
Q. Red Hat has a product, called HornetQ, which includes a website;
branding, etc. http://hornetq.jboss.org/
A. ActiveMQ PMC does not intend to use the HornetQ branding in any code,
docs or website. The code donation has been updated to remove such
references. The HornetQ open source project is now considered a legacy
project and the code is no longer maintained as the open source project
HornetQ. The ActiveMQ community is beginning to work together to
develop a plan to take the donated code base forward and to develop
community around this code base.
Q. The ActiveMQ PMC needs to deliver a plan for:
A. Apache ActiveMQ has multiple products with multiple versions:
a. ActiveMQ - (version 5.x.x)
b. ActiveMQ Artemis - (version 1.x.x)
This means that we are not yet ready to declare that
ActiveMQ Artemis is the successor to ActiveMQ 5.x. We will wait until
the product matures to make that decision.
Q. The current chair has been the chair for *many* years and based on the
current status and issues in the community, I would strongly
suggest having a plan for potentially replacing the chair of the project.
A. The PMC agrees.
* The PMC has voted to give the code donation a code name so that it
is not referred to as HornetQ anymore within ActiveMQ.
* IP clearance for the code donation is almost complete:
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/hornetq.html
* At least one member of the PMC, as well as several members of the
community, feels strongly that disagreements and concerns are not
getting addressed. They would rather have Artemis go through the
incubator.
* PMC is in discussions looking for ways to increase community diversity
* PMC has voted to appoint Bruce Snyder as the ActiveMQ PMC chair.
The PMC requests that the board approve the the following resolution:
----------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Hiram Chirino to
the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation

Community: * The developer and user communities remain very active. * The Camel project, NMS project, and recent release candidate for ActiveMQ 5.0 have generated much mailing list activity. * A code grant has been submitted for an NMS implementation that access Tibco EMS. (JIRA issue AMQNET-68) Development: * We are starting to produce ActiveMQ 5.0.0 release candidates so a release is now eminent. * Camel 1.2.0 is also producing release candidates. Releases: * ActiveMQ Camel 1.1.0 - A routing and mediation engine * ActiveMQ CPP 2.1 - A C++ client to ActiveMQ that implements the CMS API
July board report was missed in part due to a change in PMC chair. Community: * The developer and user communities remain very active. * New committer added: Albert Strasheim Development: The CMS API has been extracted from the ActiveMQ CPP module and turned into an independently versioned module. ActiveMQ 5.0 is starting to solidify and in all likelihood will be released within the next quarter. Brand New Releases: * ActiveMQ CMS 1.0 - Defines an abstract messaging API for C++ * ActiveMQ Camel 1.0.0 - A routing and mediation engine Maintenance Releases: * ActiveMQ CPP 2.0.1 - Updated to use the CMS 1.0 API * ActiveMQ CMS 1.1 - Updated to build as a shared lib
ActiveMQ has made two releases in the past month: * The ActiveMQ C++ Client (ActiveMQ CPP) has released version 2.0.1, a bugfix release. * The ActiveMQ CMS API 1.0 has been released. CMS is an implementation-independent API for messaging for C++, analogous to JMS for Java. The ActiveMQ CPP client implements this API for ActiveMQ. In addition to these releases, the Camel component, used for routing messages, has been moved out of the primary ActiveMQ server code tree into its own sub-project as it looks like it will have a release cycle independent of the the ActiveMQ server. The user and development lists remain very active, and things are going well.
ActiveMQ has had an active month: voting in a new committer, John Heitmann, and making two releases, ActiveMQ 4.1.1 - a bug fix release of the Java server and clients, and the ActiveMQ CPP Client 2.0.0 - a major release of the C++ client. A new component, Camel, has been initiated. Camel is a routing and mediation engine which allows for describing message routing rules for ActiveMQ, CXF, ServiceMix, and MINA. The developer and user communities remain very active. On a side note, a company, LogicBlaze, employing about a third of the ActiveMQ committers has been acquired by IONA. It is not expected that this will impact ActiveMQ directly, but as it affects a significant percentage of the contributors, bears mentioning.
In the last month ActiveMQ has prepared a bugfix release candidate for version 4.1.1. This release will primarily backport a number of fixes from trunk. We hope to complete a vote on the release shortly. There has been some discussion about creating separate areas in the site for the various non-Java clients. This would be something like sub-projects, but not really as the mailing lists and resources are still all shared. How to proceed with this has not yet been determined. Hiram Chirino completed a very nice site redesign, which has been deployed.
* Apache ActiveMQ graduated from the Incubator to a top level project in January. * The website, mailing lists, and subversion have all been moved to their new homes. Thank you very much to Joe Schaefer and Henri Yandell for their help with movig resources around! * We released version 1.1 of the ActiveMQ C++ client (ActiveMQ-CPP) in February. This release included API improvements and several important bugfixes. * We moved the ActiveMQ wiki onto ASF infrastructure. * Both the user and developer community continue to be very active.
The ActiveMQ community continues to grow as evidenced by the mailing list volumes. Each month mailing list volumes continues to grow. Last month we had 574 emails sent to the developer list and 905 email sent to the user list! We have also seen a big increase in the amount of patches and contributions submitted from non ActiveMQ committers. A large amount of development work and community interest has been around the Native clients used to access the Messaging broker. Tim Bish's excellent work on the STOMP c++ client has earned him an invitation to become an ActiveMQ committer. Amazon did a in house c++ client to ActiveMQ and that source code donation was accepted and committed to the source tree. All the source headers in the 2 active branches have be update to comply with the new policies outline at: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html. The Apache ActiveMQ 4.0.1 has successfully been released. For more information about the release, see: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/activemq-401-release.html Development continues on the next 4.1 release. In tandem, the 4.0 branch has continued to stabilize and a 4.0.2 release should be ready shortly. The project has discussed graduating and feels that ActiveMQ is ready and would prefer to become a TLP. Once the 4.0.2 release is completed expect more serious discussions regarding graduation to pop up on the incubator mailing lists.
The STATUS file for the project is up to date. The code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.activemq namespace. We've got all the software grants sorted and all developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created. The project's active mailing lists are proof of the vibrant community behind ActiveMQ. The Apache ActiveMQ 4.0 final has successfully been released. For more information about the release, see: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/activemq-40-release.html Development has started on the next 4.1 release. In tandem, the 4.0 branch has continued to stablize and a 4.0.1 release should be ready shortly. Bug fix releases should start occurring now with more frequency. The website home page has now been sorted out and is being checked into svn. The static HTML is being generated from a Confluence wiki and content is very easy to update now. See: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/ Abdera Project resources have been set up with the exception of issue tracking. (we seem to have decided to use Jira instead of Bugzilla) The Code Grant has been received and acknowledged James Snell's ICLA has been received and acknowledged Rob Yates ICLA was faxed in on Friday, June 16th but has not yet been acknowledged The initial code drop has been checked in to SVN All copyright notices have been updated Notice and License are included Ant and Maven build scripts are included We've decided on a repository layout The initial drop of the project site has been checked in and includes an FAQ, Getting Started Guide, Developer's Guide and Javadocs. ADF Faces The STATUS file for the project has been committed. Since the name ADF Faces is only temporary, a vote for a new name was started. The new name Trinidad has been choosen by the community. The Community itself is growing. Users requested enhancements which have been provided. Also some users contributed help and patches. For wiki the Trinidad / ADF Faces project uses the Wiki of its sponsor, the Apache MyFaces project. Some todos have been identified at the wiki, like continuum based nightly build. There is discussion on integrating the skinning and PPR rendering solutions of Trinidad into Tomahawk. Cayenne Cayenne 1.2 Release Candidate was announced on 5/31/2006. The first release from the Incubator (Cayenne 2.0) is planned to immediately follow 1.2-final. It will be exact equivalent of non-Apache release 1.2, with package names changed to org.apache.cayenne, simplifying user migration to the new namespace. Mike Kienenberger and Andrus Adamchik were added to the Podling PMC. We started collecting CLA's from emeritus committers. So far CLA's for Holger Hoffstatte and Michael Shengaout are recorded. Most of the remaining ones are confirmed to be in the mail and should be recorded soon. We are mentoring three projects as a part of Google Summer of Code program. Graffito There was not so much commits on the project due to the current commiters activities. The company Sword Technologies donates new Graffito services (worfklow, news management , mail and scheduler services). Christophe will try to review and commit this code asap. The Spring support is finished for the OCM Tools. Now the OCM tools will be used in the complete Graffito stack. By this way, the Graffito persistence service can access to JCR repositories. Graffito is working with Jetspeed 2 head. Kabuki The contributing vendor backed out in favor of their own alliance group without ever really getting started in the Incubator. Unless there is interest within the ASF, the Incubator PMC will retire this project. log4net The log4net team has recently release 1.2.10. This release includes many minor fixes which dramatically improve the quality of the release. Since the release we have been tracking user feedback to define our priorities for the next release. log4php After committing log4php PHP5 base code, not much going on this month. No users has sent contributions and the mailing lists have low activity. Hope to get some user contributions in the next month or two... Lucene.Net Lucene.Net continues to progressing. Recently Lucene.Net 1.9 RC1 build 4 Beta was released and it's on its way to become "final" by the end of the month. Folks are beginning to discover Lucene.Net and activities on the project from posting questions and code fixes are beginning to show some signs of life however, things are still slow in terms of participation. Lucene.Net can use some publicity and exposure which I intend to start doing. Ode Code from both BPE and PXE has been checked into the project's subversion repository with appropriate headers, and the group is prototyping and discussing approaches for integrating the engine with an external runtime (e.g., a "plain old JVM", a J2EE application server, or a JBI container) and for deployment. PXE developers are also documenting the codebase (and especially the engine core) to get all contributors to the same level of understanding. OFBiz In summary, things are progressing well. No major issues at this time. The gathering of iCLAs is mostly completed: total number of our contributors with iCLAs on file: 62 there are 15 iCLAs that has been sent but not still filed at Apache; we hope to see them in soon there are 4 contributors whom we have been unable to contact: we have reviewed their contributions (that are fairly small) and we have asked to the Incubator PMC for help with this removed and replaced all the jar files licensed under not-allowed licenses (mostly LGPL) completed the migration to the new issue tracking system: now we are using the Apache's Jira server completed the migration to the new mailing lists asked for a new committer's account for our new committer Jacques Le Roux; we are waiting for it to be created mod_ftp No report provided. Very little e-mail traffic, and no commits. Appears to be dormant, and neglected. OpenJPA Still getting started. No report provided, although there is somewhat active e-mail traffic (average of about 1 e-mail per day over the past two months).
The STATUS file for the project is up to date. The code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.activemq namespace. We've got all the software grants sorted and all developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created. The project's active mailing lists are proof of the vibrant community behind ActiveMQ. The Apache ActiveMQ 4.0 final has successfully been released. For more information about the release, see: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/activemq-40-release.html Development has started on the next 4.1 release. In tandem, the 4.0 branch has continued to stablize and a 4.0.1 release should be ready shortly. Bug fix releases should start occurring now with more frequency. The website home page has now been sorted out and is being checked into svn. The static HTML is being generated from a Confluence wiki and content is very easy to update now. See: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/ Abdera Project resources have been set up with the exception of issue tracking. (we seem to have decided to use Jira instead of Bugzilla) The Code Grant has been received and acknowledged James Snell's ICLA has been received and acknowledged Rob Yates ICLA was faxed in on Friday, June 16th but has not yet been acknowledged The initial code drop has been checked in to SVN All copyright notices have been updated Notice and License are included Ant and Maven build scripts are included We've decided on a repository layout The initial drop of the project site has been checked in and includes an FAQ, Getting Started Guide, Developer's Guide and Javadocs. ADF Faces The STATUS file for the project has been committed. Since the name ADF Faces is only temporary, a vote for a new name was started. The new name Trinidad has been choosen by the community. The Community itself is growing. Users requested enhancements which have been provided. Also some users contributed help and patches. For wiki the Trinidad / ADF Faces project uses the Wiki of its sponsor, the Apache MyFaces project. Some todos have been identified at the wiki, like continuum based nightly build. There is discussion on integrating the skinning and PPR rendering solutions of Trinidad into Tomahawk. Cayenne Cayenne 1.2 Release Candidate was announced on 5/31/2006. The first release from the Incubator (Cayenne 2.0) is planned to immediately follow 1.2-final. It will be exact equivalent of non-Apache release 1.2, with package names changed to org.apache.cayenne, simplifying user migration to the new namespace. Mike Kienenberger and Andrus Adamchik were added to the Podling PMC. We started collecting CLA's from emeritus committers. So far CLA's for Holger Hoffstatte and Michael Shengaout are recorded. Most of the remaining ones are confirmed to be in the mail and should be recorded soon. We are mentoring three projects as a part of Google Summer of Code program. Graffito There was not so much commits on the project due to the current commiters activities. The company Sword Technologies donates new Graffito services (worfklow, news management , mail and scheduler services). Christophe will try to review and commit this code asap. The Spring support is finished for the OCM Tools. Now the OCM tools will be used in the complete Graffito stack. By this way, the Graffito persistence service can access to JCR repositories. Graffito is working with Jetspeed 2 head. Kabuki The contributing vendor backed out in favor of their own alliance group without ever really getting started in the Incubator. Unless there is interest within the ASF, the Incubator PMC will retire this project. log4net The log4net team has recently release 1.2.10. This release includes many minor fixes which dramatically improve the quality of the release. Since the release we have been tracking user feedback to define our priorities for the next release. log4php After committing log4php PHP5 base code, not much going on this month. No users has sent contributions and the mailing lists have low activity. Hope to get some user contributions in the next month or two... Lucene.Net Lucene.Net continues to progressing.

The STATUS file for the project is up to date. The code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.activemq namespace. We've got all the software grants sorted and all developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created. The project's active mailing lists are proof of the vibrant community behind ActiveMQ. Nathan Mittler was voted in as committer due to his excellent work on the C++ client for ActiveMQ. The Java code base has has being going through QA and stabilization for the past few months and several release candidates for 4.0 have been cut. The 4.0 final release is currently under Vote and we expect to have a final release very shortly. Development is starting to gear up now for the 4.1 release and we are excited to find out where the community and committers drive the development of the next 4.1 release. The website home page has now been sorted out and is being checked into svn. The static HTML is being generated from a Confluence wiki and content is very easy to update now. See: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/ ADF Faces Mailing lists, subversion repository, and JIRA setup was completed, along with accounts for two new committers to the podling. Initial code drop committed to repository, starting to work through package name adjustments and code review. Cayenne Initial committer accounts were created and the Jira migration was completed. Migration of SourceForge CVS to Apache SVN was completed. New modules developed since the Incubator proposal was submitted (namely JPA module) are switched to the new package naming: org.apache.cayenne. The core modules still use org.objectstyle.cayenne naming. Kabuki Working on project documentation and logistics for using toolkit hosted at Apache. Lokahi Not much going on this month, after a fairly active month in April. Not issues that need the Incubator PMC or Board attention at this time. Hoping to get more done in the next month or two... Lucene.Net Lucene.Net is progressing well. Recently MSDN style documentation was added, the website was ironed out a bit and we are on track to release Lucene.Net 1.9 by end of May. Also, the mailing list at ASF is now starting to see some traffic. We are still awaiting the finalization to add our second committer, to the project which we expect to be completed this month. Ode Accounts have been created for almost everybody in the first round of committers. Active discussion is underway about various subjects such as the engine core structure or the deployment model. An IRC chat is scheduled to kick-start these issues. A couple of modules (parser and bom) have also been voted to be imported in Ode's trunk. OFBiz The main issue at the moment continues to be the gathering of iCLAs. We're making progress: Total number of contributors contacted: 104 Number of contributors with iCLA already filed at ASF: 41 Number of contributors that have already sent their iCLA, but still not filed at ASF: 18 Number of contributors who have not yet sent their iCLA: 45 We will begin discussing alternative strategies, such as clean-room re-implementations, for code whose contributors have not sent in their CLAs yet. We've made some significant progress in replacing LGPL jars, mainly JOTM, the default transaction manager of OFBiz. We've integrated the Geronimo/Jencks transaction manager (TM) into OFBiz, and early testing shows it's working fine. We continue testing and gathering feedback, and anticipate that we will be able to remove the JOTM jars soon. At the same time, we will be able to remove some other, less critical, LGPLed jars. Once that's done, we plan to move the OFBiz codebase to the Incubator SVN server A new committer has been added to the project (Jacques Le Roux): he is a longtime contributor and is doing some interesting implementation for the POS (Point of Sale) component, so the core group of initial committers has (succesfully) voted to grant him commit rights to the POS component. ServiceMix The STATUS file for the project is up to date. The code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.servicemix namespace. We've got all the software grants sorted and all developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created. The project has very active mailing lists. The code base is going through a stabilization phase. The community is actively working on cutting Servicemix 3.0 M1 release candidates. Hopefully once of those release candidates will make it to a votes and pass soon. The website home page has now been sorted out and is being checked into svn. The static HTML is being generated from a Confluence wiki and content is very easy to update now. See: http://incubator.apache.org/servicemix/ stdcxx Stdcxx status report for the calendar quarter ending in 4/2006: This is the third quarterly report for stdcxx. Since the last report the stdcxx community has added a new committer, Anton Pevtsov, and with his help successfully completed the release of version 4.1.3 of the project. Since the relase the team has made significant progress migrating the Rogue Wave C++ Standard Library test harness and test suite to the Apache stdcxx test driver. The stdcxx community also continues to increase the visibility of the project with the goal of further raising the number as well as diversity of its users, contributors, and committers. The plan for the next three months is to continue to work on migrating the test suite and, in parallel, to enhance the support for the C++ Standard Library extensions described in the Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions and recently voted into the working paper of the (next) C++ Standard expected to be released by 2009. Synapse After the M1 release in December, Synapse had a slow start to the year. However, recently the project has restarted in full vigor with some key design improvements to make things cleaner and easier to develop. The focus on the XML config model has been reduced with the Synapse system being run on an object model config which can be filled using the XML config language or directly (or from a database or whatever). We're now working towards an M2 release ASAP to get wider feedback on the core design and architecture and if that goes well another release by ApacheCon to get closer to the desired function for the system. Community development is also making slow but steady progress. The diversity has improved and we've recently added a new committer as well. If all goes well and if the community development continues, Synapse should be ready for graduation soon - probably before ApacheCon. Tuscany On the Java side, Community and code development are continuing. We have added two new committers (Ant Elder and Daniel Kulp) since the last report and have many other people active on the mailing lists. We have been working toward a Java release which is intended to allow others to easily contribute plugins and other functionality in order to further expand the community. A vote on a candidate started on the development list (as of 5/18/06) and if passed we will be asking the Incubator PMC for permission to release it. After a slower start development is now also ramping up on the C++ codebase but additional effort will be needed to attract new community members. WebWork 2 We resolved the remaining IP issues that included LGPL Javascript dependencies, invalid copyrights (MyCorp, Inc), and code grants for valid copyrights. The Struts PMC then successfully voted to accept the WebWork 2 podling and the Incubator PMC vote passed as well. The infrastructure and website-related graduation tasks have been completed and we are now fully graduated. Woden Woden project members are actively engaged with the W3C Web Service Description Working Group to define interoperability testing. Woden has now implemented the WSDL Component Model Interchange Format which is being used to compare parser implementations. A W3C interop event is being planned for July 5-7 at the IBM Toronto Lab. Woden project members will participate in this event. The goal of this event is to advance the WSDL 2.0 specification beyond the Candidate Recommendation stage. Yoko Project just started incubation. CLAs are on file for the initial committers. A CCLA has been received for the initial contributions of Java ORB implementation and the code has been imported into SVN repository. Mailing lists, subversion repository, and JIRA setup was completed. Activity is starting on the development mailing list. Currently dev team started to discuss what would be a good first milestone release and its definition. End of minutes for the May 24, 2006 board meeting.
The ActiveMQ project is progressing toward graduation and things are moving along well. Below are the highlights of activity on the project: * Added Nabble forums as an alternative to ASF mailing lists * Added Nathan Mittler from Amazon as a committer * Working on the ActiveMQ 4.0 RC2 release candidate Currently working to accept a donation from Amazon for the ActiveMQ C++ API ADF Faces ADF Faces incubation has started in the last weeks. The code repository has been setup, the committer access has been granted, we are now waiting for an import of a current code drop into the repository. This will take some time as all package names are changed over to an Apache like structure, and the ASL license is adopted as mentioned in the proposal. Mailing lists have been setup, and mailing list traffic is slowly picking up steam. Agila AltRMI Cayenne The Cayenne project is setting up its infrastructure. Existing mailing lists were successfully migrated to Apache this month and are remain active. All but one ICLA have been recorded and account requests submitted. We are also working on getting our JIRA migration done and are hoping to be part of the Confluence-as-a-document-editor trial. We are preparing our last non-Apache release (1.2, currently in beta). Our first step after this release will be to repackage everything to the org.apache.cayenne namespace and release a new "apache" version to indicate backwards compatibility will no longer be maintained. We also have at least one LGPL issue, which is with a non-essential optional platform binary build (Launch4J). This is a relatively-new feature (the ability to run the Cayenne Modeler as a native binary) and, worse case, we can remove the feature to get rid of the dependency. However, a number of potential replacements with compatible licenses have been identified and will be evaluated as a first attempt to solve the issue. Felix * Entire Felix build process migrated to Maven (M2). * Mangen contributed by Rob Walker for managing bundle dependencies * Several of the UPnP people are now committers and contributions have made their way into the repo with respective [C]CLAs. * Preparing for an initial release from the incubator * OSGi Alliance re-licensed R4 sources as ASL, not just ASL-compatible. * Worked with OSGi CTO BJ Hargrave to commit R4 core and compendium ASL sources to Felix repo with M2 build/deployment. * Wire Admin and Service Binder contributed and Humberto Cervantes a committer. * Migrated Service Binder and related tutorial/examples to Felix repo with M2 build/deployment. * Dependency Manager contributed and Marcel Offermans a committer. * Additionally, Xenotron patch contribution by Peter Neubauer. * Created daemons and installers with nice packaging for soon to be released initial versions * Committed new OSGi Bundle Repository service, which is an OSGi Alliance sanctioned bundle repository based on previous OBR work. * Committed two new shell-related bundles, Shell GUI and Shell GUI Plugins, that provide a simple GUI front end for Felix. * PPMC is starting to estabilish policy around committership and membership (showing its autonomous nature) * Upayavira became a new mentor an has greatly accellerated the project * Many new committerss: * Francesco Furfari * Stefano Lenzi * Rob Walker * Marcel Offermans * Matteo Demuru * Humberto Cervantes * Karl Pauls Quoting Upayavira: "Now, that shows signs of a healthy community. Adding seven committers in one quarter :)" Graffito * We are still working on our JCR support. This support is mainly done with an object/Content mapping. We hope to finalize the first release of this subproject for the ASF Europe Conf. This tools could be use in other open source project. * Sword Technologies is working on the workflow service and the first Graffito module (personalized news management with syndication). The code will be donate in May to the ASF. * Still working with the Jetspeed team to see how to build a common release for the ASF Europe Conf. * We want to promote and make some "marketing" to increase the community size. Harmony Harmony is going well, so well that it is not easy to sum up all the things happening. There is, however, currently nothing requiring board or incubator PMC attention. Highlights for the last quarter: * no releases. * We have welcomed one new PPMC member: * Tim Ellison * we have welcomed three new committers: * Mikhail Loenko * George Harley * Stepan Mishura and expect to add quite a few more in the next quarter. we have received and processed several more bulk contributions from different parties, including for beans, regex, math, jndi, logging, prefs, sql, math(again), crypto, and rmi (twice), hundreds upon hundreds of unit tests, an eclipse plugin for doing harmony development, and more. Our framework for accepting these contributions (based on jira, svn, and faxes and documented on the harmony website) seems to be working well. there was concern over a potential copyright infringement within our JCHEVM component. This concern has been addressed by receiving a code donation for the potentially infringing files, without having to resort to lawyers and to the mutual satisfaction of all parties and under the watchful eye of the Incubator PMC. we have begun collaborating with the SableVM community, which has relicensed its VM under the ALv2 (the related previous potential licensing/copyright issues have been resolved without having to resort to lawyers and to the mutual satisfaction of all parties and under the watchful eye of the Incubator PMC). we have seen a lot of discussion on how to do testing, how to use jira, etc., etc, as more and more developers gear up to contribute to the project. These kinds of discussions are going well and the collaborative consensus-based process is emerging. we have identified the (future) need for some serious build and testing server infrastructure but have not approached the infrastructure team about this yet. IBM is currently hosting a Maven Continuum server to run the harmony tests, and sending the results to our mailing lists. JuiCE Good activity in the previous quarter. Werner Dittman was voted in as a committer and has been refactoring the initial code into a more long term format. A test build has also been created on a Win32 platform. The team involved in this are all committers on the xml-security project. Over the next quarter we will be looking to promote this from the Incubator into the xml project as a part of xml-security. Kabuki Now that the initial committer list has their Apache accounts, the project will be beginning real soon now. No other news to report at this time. log4net The log4net team is putting together release 1.2.10. The release has been approved by the Logging PMC and is now waiting for approval by the Incubator PMC. This release includes a number of fixes for the current 1.2.9 release. One of these is a fix for a security issues that was raised through security@apache.org. We would like to thank Mark Cox from the security team for his help managing this issue. Lokahi The Lokahi project is still setting up its infrastructure: Subversion has been set up with proper commit privileges, and the initial code import just took place a couple of days ago. The Lokahi name has been cleared as far as trademark usage goes. Lucene4c There has been no activity since the last report. At some point soon we will likely want to officially mark this project as dormant. Lucene.Net Lucene.Net has recently gotten into the swing of things. George Aroush has officially moved the project from Sourceforge to the ASF repository. A very active contributor from the Sourceforge project has been proposed and is pending the receipt of his CLA. Ode Ode is currently adding a new round of commiters to its developer base. The Software grants for both donations from Intalio and Sybase have arrived and both have been checked in. The community is actively discussing development plans for the two code bases. OFBiz The OFBiz team continues to gather individual contributor license agreements (iCLAs) from people who have contributed to the project in the past: this effort is nearly complete, and we expect to import OFBiz code into the ASF Subversion repository soon. You can see the progress of getting iCLAs at http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=OFBizDevelopers. In addition, the OFBiz PPMC has been setup and all initial committers and mentors subscribed to it. OFBiz management discussions have been taking place on that list for a few weeks now. In summary, things are progressing well. No major issues at this time. Roller Roller development has been proceeding at a steady pace. The mailing lists seem to be getting more active with new users cropping up all the time. IBM DeveloperWorks now uses Roller for their blogs, LinPro AS is working on a large number of installations and North Carolina State Unversity is support to go live with campus-wide student blogs powered by Roller before the end of this month. A Roller 2.2 release candidate was created on the 2nd to last Thursday of March (per our release cycle), we've gone through 5 release candidates now and a vote was called today (April 18th) for release. For Roller 2.3, Allen Gilliland has been doing some major refactoring work in the Roller backend. Dave Johnson has been working on smaller issues including support for both weblog entry summary and content. A 2.3 release candidate may be appearing on Thursday, since it's the 2nd to last. Looking forward, a new development roadmap has been prepared that covers Roller 2.3, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 releases. Dave's Roller talk was accepted at ApacheCon EU in June 2006. Other issues: LGPL issues are still unresolved and holding up graduation. ServiceMix The ServiceMix project is progressing along. Below are the recent project highlights: * Added Nabble forums as an alternative to ASF mailing lists * Currently preparing the ServiceMix 3.0 M1 milestone release Solr The Solr team has been focusing on preparing its first release candidate out of the incubator, and is getting fairly close: maybe another couple of weeks before we vote. All committers and mentors are on the solr-dev mailing list, where discussion has been taking place. All ASF resources (Subversion, mailing list, etc.) seem to have been created and are functioning well. We have also been taking this time to re-think our distro contents, e.g. where to put examples, whether to package Tomcat for an out-of-the-box working webapp, etc: those discussions have been taking place on the solr-dev list, which is public, and everyone is welcome to join. Synapse The Synapse team continues to work towards an M2 release and graduation. WebWork 2 The last quarter has seen the creation of the WebWork 2 podling and rapid progress. Our focus has been on migrating code, resources, developers, IP, and community over to the ASF. Code: we have imported the code into the Incubator SVN, and have renamed packages, taglib prefixes, and any other references to the old WebWork project over to the new Struts Action Framework 2 project, where the final location of the code will be. Resources: We've migrated the code to the Apache SVN, setup and migrated JIRA tickets to the new issues.apache.org server, and are in the process of migration wiki documentation. Developers: The core WebWork 2 developers have been given accounts and access to the podling, voted in through the proposal. We plan to vote the remaining committers in one-by-one through the Struts PMC, serving as the IPMC for the podling. IP: The OpenSymphony organization, who owns the copyright on the WebWork 2 project, has delivered a code grant allowing us to change the copyright. Additionally, we've removed most of the LGPL source code (usually in the form of Javascript libraries) and have developed an optional build that compiles integration code depending on LGPL jars, in accordance to the draft IP policy document. Community: The WebWork 2 developers have joined the Struts mailing lists and have been very active in participating with both development and user threads. They have been just as, if not more, active committing to the code repository as Struts committers, and when conflicts arise, they are very quick to come to a solution in a positive way. In addition, several Struts committers have joined OpenSymphony forums, chat rooms, and projects further strengthening the relationship. We are definitely planning on exiting the Incubator this next quarter, possibly within weeks. We see a bright future for the Struts Action project, and hope to facilitate a new spirit of cooperation within the competitive landscape of Java web application frameworks. WADI The WADI podling has decided to retire and not complete incubation. This decision was made by the participants, supported by the sponsoring Geronimo PMC, and announced to the Incubator PMC. The project will continue at [WWW] http://wadi.codehaus.org/ Yoko Yoko is currently adding a new round of commiters to its developer base. The Software grant for the donation from IONA arrived and the code base has been checked in. The codebase from the original Trifork donation has been moved from Geronimo to Yoko. The community is actively discussing development plans for the two code bases. Look to see intense discussions at JavaOne and ApacheCon EU.
We have successfully released the 4.0-M4 milestone release of ActiveMQ and are actively seeking feedback on if ActiveMQ can leave the incubator.
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.
