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 Creadur is the creation and maintenance of software related to Comprehension and auditing of software distributions ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache Creadur was founded 2012-04-18 (14 years ago) There are currently 11 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Claude Warren on 2024-01-23. - No new committers. Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: Development continues as we try to break up RAT to allow a quicker release of any UI (Maven, Ant, CLI). Apart from that contributions are coming in via GitHub. SonarCloud integration finished for all Creadur subprojects. ASF security integrations took place and we are ready for agentic inputs. ## Community Health: No change - mailing list traffic remains low and discussions happen on the PRs itself.

Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: After the release of RAT 0.18 development on 1.0 continues in the background, while other activities remain relatively low. ## Community Health: No changes in community health have been observed. Development is currently focused on RAT 1.0. There is no explicit plan to increase interest in RAT. Previously, I raised the question of whether RAT tooling should become part of the release tooling process or be incorporated into the ASF tooling project. The work on version 1.0 enables a more flexible approach to integrating RAT into other build and ecosystem tools. As a result, the Gradle integration remains open and is awaiting the 1.0 release before being published in a more granular form.

Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: Development takes place for a 1.0.0 version with big architectural changes and the removal of deprecated code parts. Apart from that we intend to release a 0.18 soon. ## Community Health: We had some interactions concerning a possible Grails plugin, that resulted in the architectural changes adressed in the 1.0.0 branch (a more modular architecture should ease the release of tool specific- integrations such as Maven, Gradle, CLI et.al.) Apart from that there was a performance issue solved by a contribution. Besides questions were answered on how to integrate 0.17 properly. Overall the situation remains that the PMC is relatively small. Questions are answered nevertheless.
## Description: The mission of Creadur is the creation and maintenance of software related to Comprehension and auditing of software distributions ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: RFC: development of RAT under the tooling umbrella? As the PMC remains to be rather small I'd like to ask the board for their insight on the future development of RAT. Would it make sense/be possible to support the Creadur PMC from the tooling project? ## Membership Data: Apache Creadur was founded 2012-04-18 (14 years ago) There are currently 11 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Claude Warren on 2024-01-23. - No new committers. Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: Apache RAT 0.17 was released on 2025-10-17 with many new changes and a new webpage, which was a big chunk of work! Development of RAT 1.0.0 started with architecture discussions. Subprojects Tentacles and Whisker remain in dormant mode and mostly only get dependency updates and infrastructure changes. ## Community Health: Two new contributors started interacting with the PMC/project in order to get a RAT Gradle plugin and a RAT GitHubAction. Unfortunately 2 PMC members resigned just after the release vote started for RAT 0.17.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Claude Warren on 2024-01-23. - No new committers. Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: The current 0.17-SNAPSHOT is still in development to harmonise the usage of RAT among all available UIs. Apart from that maintenance is happening in RAT and its subprojects. ## Community Health: We are still working on the current 0.17 release. Apart from final bugfixes and implementation improvements work on the homepage has started, but is stalled due to the vacation season. Mailing list traffic mainly increased due to commit messages.

Apart from that minor changes were applied to Whisker and Tentacles and the webpages were updated (not yet released due to interactions with Maven folks/plugin errors) ## Community Health: No changes, development takes place slowly and steadily as we are working on longer running branches, that take in new functionality. Most discussions take place on the GitHub PRs directly!

Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: Heavy development going on in Creadur RAT to allow more flexibility and harmonisation among Ant, Maven und CLI runs. It is so wonderful that we are able to use Github's infrastructure to discuss on the PR. Due to the migration of Maven plugins and site-doxia-stack we are in contact with the committers over there and hope to implement our 0.17-homepage with the new versions and layout. ## Community Health: Development of new release still going on. Due to regressions and a de-facto rewrite of Creadur RAT core the development takes longer and is still ongoing. Any requests/bug reports are being handled and discussed properly.

Last additions were Claude Warren and Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23. ## Project Activity: A lot of work is happening within the effort to harmonize RAT usage among all CLIs (RAT-323). Apart from that activity is low. Recent releases: - Apache Rat 0.16.1 was released on 2024-01-24. - Apache Rat 0.16 was released on 2023-12-28. - Apache Creadur Tentacles 0.1 was released on 2022-10-22. Not sure how I can comment on the open board feedback from sharan from 2023-11-15 as it is shown under https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2024-08-21/Creadur The comment can be closed as the new PMC members were already elected. ## Community Health: No change: Claude is working on the harmonization efforts mainly. Apart from dependency updates not much happening in the other subprojects. We hope to release 0.17 at the end of August/start of September to get morefeedback from downstream consumers and are looking forward to the summer holidays.

Development is going on on RAT 0.17, while all other subprojects (tentacles/whisker) are mainly in maintenance mode. RAT will contain lots of changes and enhancements concerning SPDX and file scanning. ## Community Health: We experience a lot of dialogue with and help from other projects that use RAT or provide infra such as maven/maven plugins. Apart from that a lot of activity is going on via Github pull requests.

Community changes, past quarter: - Claude Warren was added to the PMC on 2024-01-23 - Jean-Baptiste Onofré was added to the PMC on 2024-01-23 ## Project Activity: Apache Rat 0.16.1 was released on 2024-01-24. Apache Rat 0.16 was released on 2023-12-28. RAT 0.16 was a major change as the new SPDX feature was introduced. RAT 0.16.1 is a small feature release and contains multiple changes to the webpage to further comply with the ASF rules (added privacy menu item, do not load fonts from Google anymore). Development on 0.17 started off as more and more people seem to use RAT from the cli. Subprojects Tentacles and Whisker are mainly in dormant state, receive dependency updates but no real code change at the moment. ## Community Health: We were able to add 2 people to the PMC. Development skyrocketed compared to the time before 0.16. Due to some problems in 0.16 we had to provide a new release 0.16.1 rather quick to address missing information on the project webpage and fixed the underlying issues. dev@creadur.apache.org had a 738% increase in traffic in the past quarter (956 emails compared to 114) 13 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (225% increase) 7 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (133% increase) 284 commits in the past quarter (222% increase) 8 code contributors in the past quarter (100% increase) 93 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (520% increase) 92 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (513% increase)

So the project's activity skyrocketed. Release 0.16 will be created once that contributions stabilized new features. ## Community Health: With 2 new contributors the project sort of rebooted and awoke from its dormant state. The contributors (mainly one) started a lot of discussions about new features and bugfixes. This all happens via Github PRs and mail threads. - dev@creadur.apache.org had a 125% increase in traffic in the past quarter (237 emails compared to 105) - 15 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (400% increase) - 5 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (66% increase) - 100 commits in the past quarter (376% increase) - 20 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (42% increase) - 19 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (11% increase)

We had problems to get enough votes for RAT v0.15.
I asked all committers to subscribe to the private mailing list,
but did not get any response so far.
(This was a request from former board meetings)
As Creadur's subprojects Tentacles and whisker did not get much attention
I'm happy that someone created a Tentacles 0.1 release and work continues.

Status ------ The project has missed reporting to the board for several months. The last report was back in November 2013. November saw some activity with several issues being resolved in Rat. In December the work of a GSOC student was merged into a branch of our own SVN repository. After that it's been mostly quiet on the mailing lists, apart from questions and requests from other Apache projects. There seems to be an increase in the use of Rat within the ASF. If the current chair continues to remains absent, we will need some guidance from the board on how to proceed. Community --------- The last committer was elected in August, 2012.

Community Objectives -------------------- * Release Apache Whisker 0.1 * Continue to improve documentation
Apache Creadur creates and maintains a suite of open source software related to the auditing and comprehension of software distributions. Any language and build system are welcomed. Project Status -------------- Creadur graduated from the Apache Incubator in April, 2012. Except for tasks performed after the first release as a top level project, handover is now complete. Issues ------ We have no issues requiring board attention at the moment. Branding and Trademarks ----------------------- The site has now been checked and updated against the branding policy. In particular: * Project Website Basics * Website Navigation Links * Trademark Attributions * Logos and Graphics * Project Metadata * Read PMC Branding Responsibilities Community --------- Interest seems to be slowly building, which is encouraging. We hope to focus on continuing to improve the documentation and creating a first release for Apache Whisker. Infrastructure -------------- We are still trying to discover the best way to maintain a mix of subsites generated by and hand maintained content in Apache CMS. Thanks to Infrastructure for their help and advice. Releases -------- None (yet). The last release happened while the project was incubating: RAT 0.8 released in November 2011. We hope to cut the first release of Apache Whisker very soon. Community Objectives -------------------- * Improve quantity of documentation on site * Release Apache Whisker 0.1
Apache Creadur creates and maintains a suite of open source software related to the auditing and comprehension of software distributions. Any language and build system are welcomed. Project Status -------------- Creadur graduated from the Apache Incubator in April, 2012. The handover has been very slow going, but is very nearly complete. Thanks to the infrastructure team for their help. Handover -------- Complete: * New Chair tasks (subscriptions, update officers, etc) * Reporting schedule * PMC bootstrap tasks * Transfer source * Transfer mailing lists * Update issue tracker * Infra tasks * Transfer website * Update incubator records Pending Next Release (as per guidelines) * Distribution mirrors Community --------- * Creadur needs to rebuild momentum and to attract new contributors. Our first steps will be website improvements and the first release of Apache Whisker (see below). Infrastructure -------------- * Thanks to the infra team for a smooth handover * Our website uses the CMS, and is ready for svnpubsub. The community is still discussing the best approach towards maintaining content generated by Maven. Releases -------- None (yet). The last release happened while the project was incubating: RAT 0.8 released in November 2011. We hope to cut the first release of Apache Whisker very soon. This tool generates and audits licensing information from meta-data. Helpful for applications assembled from 100s of components, such as Apache James Server. Branding and Trademarks ----------------------- Currently our website doesn't conform to all requirements. In particular the product subsites need more work. Community Objectives -------------------- * Improve impact and visibility of site, and bring the site fully into line with the branding guidelines * Release Apache Whisker 0.1 Issues ------ * None requiring board attention at this time
No report was submitted. No report was submitted. Will report next month.
RAT started incubation as a Java library that scans files for known licenses and reports files that lack any of them. By now more tools that help collecting, aggregating and validating licenses have been added. After some soul-searching the RAT community is preparing to vote on graduating as a TLP under the name Creadur. The voting process is not likely to complete in time for the next board meeting, though. Signed off by mentor:
A suite of tools focusing on the comprehension and auditing of software distributions. Entered incubation 2008-01-06 Community: * Added David Blevins as a new committer. * Various new people are making contributions. * Issue tracker and mail lists are attended to. Project: * 15 November 2011 - apache-rat-incubating-0.8 released. * Improved the download facility. * Initial contributions of a new tool, Tentacles, to download all the archives from a staging repo, unpack them and create a little report of what is there. * Commenced improvement of branding. Current and next steps: * In process of choosing a suitable project name. * In process of deciding project scope and description. * Commenced the search for a project chair. Issues before graduation: None. We seem to be getting there.
Rat audits releases. A renewed push started to find a final status for Rat. A consensus emerged that the best destination for Rat would be a top level project, even if the scope is broad enough to allow a suite of related products to be developed by the community. Hopefully, Rat will be in a position to graduate soon. Work has started on new code complementing the classic plugins: * Apache Rat Eye assists bulk reviews (coded in Python) * Apache Rat Whisker automates the verification and generation of legal documents (LICENSE, NOTICE, etc) for application composed from many components (coded in Java) The 0.8 release of the classic plugin is expected soon. Trademark, branding and marketing issues remain unresolved. The Incubator guides no longer accord well with developments in ASF policy in this area. It seems appropriate that before graduation these issues should be sorted out, though this may require work to develop incubator policy, which may potentially delay graduation.

Rat is (still) a small and mature code base without a clear home at Apache to aim for. Unlike the last two quarters there has been some development activity with commits by four different committers. Some JIRA issues have been opened and not all of them have been addressed by now.
RAT is a Java library that scans files for known licenses and reports files that lack any of them. Three front-ends to said library exist in form of a command line client, an Ant task and a Maven plugin. RAT entered the Incubator in January 2008. Two issues have been opened in JIRA, one has been closed as WONTFIX. No other activities during the past quarter.
RAT has been reasonably quiet though the summer of code project has been very active over at Google. Initial enthusiasm for developing crawling capabilities was stalled by the lack of quick progress towards a release by Droids. Progress on graduation is still stalled by the lack of a suitable TLP to home the project. RAT illustrates well the inability of the incubator system to work for existing small but open projects without a nominating TLP. If Apache wants to accept more projects of this nature, some process rethinking is needed.
