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.

Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data in a cloud computing environment. Blur has been incubating since 2012-07-24. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Greater community involvement. 2. Produce releases. 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Lack of community involvement has brought the topic of retirement to the blur-dev list. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-blur-dev/201702.mbox/%3Cpony-4f6911432c0e56d59d8abe5b65087e9956a6af1e-bfe4bfa9a663176fde9c80c2d11c9dc3c6e81311%40blur-dev.incubator.apache.org%3E We feel that the board should be aware of a potential retirement to the project.

Shepherd notes:
Suresh Marru (smarru):
* The podling seems to be very healthy and kudos to PPMC for pulling of
their first release and getting ready for second.
* A big kudos to couple of mentors for pro-actively engaging.
* Blur website does not conform to the branding guidelines and should
add the incubator logo and disclaimer prominently. Also, should
include the ASF, security and thanks to sponsor links.

Blur has been incubating since 2012-07-24.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Official IP sign off
- Near Infinity signed CCLA and Blur Software Grant in July of 2012
- All committers have submitted ICLA's in July/August of 2012
- So I believe that an official vote is all that is needed.
2. First Apache release which is dependent on #1
- The biggest reason this has been delayed is due to several major code
refactors to make use of Blur faster and easier
3. Community growth, Blur needs to grow beyond the initial set of committors.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
No.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- Overall message traffic was down through the holidays, but has started
to pick back up since the beginning of the year.
- Subscriptions: users@ - 31[+9]; dev@ - 33[+9]
How has the project developed since the last report?
- There has been about 80 commits since the last report, from 2
committors and 1 contributor
- The 0.2 development branch is now functioning and is getting closer to
feature parity with 0.1.

Apache Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data
in a cloud computing environment.
Issues needing Board/Incubator PMC Attention:
None.
Key Activities:
- Website has been migrated to Apache CMS and is online at
http://incubator.apache.org/blur/
- Apache Rat has been integrated into the build process
- Many of issues that Apache Rat identified have been corrected
- A major rework of the code base is in progress with a goal of releasing
0.2 as the first release of Apache Blur
- During the rework of the code the community has been active in
discussions and contributing code
- Jan 2013 is a realistic timeline for a release
- The most significant development achievement over the past month has
been the update to Lucene 4.0
NOTE: The version change caused several thousand compile errors and many
were fixed by community contributions. With the help of community
developers the update only took a couple of weeks before tests were
passing and the application was working again.
Community:
- Over the past 30 days in JIRA, 17 issues have been created and 12 resolved.
- Several of these issues were resolved by contributions from outside the
current committers.
- Subscriptions: users@ - 22[+3]; dev@ - 24[+3]
- Mail list messages in blur-dev has grown to 227 in October,
up from 70 in August
Graduation is still a long way off, the next major milestone toward graduation
will be Blur's first Apache release.
