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.

RELEASES There hasn't been any new release since becoming a TLP in January 2013. The work on biggest new feature of the next release (the C++ binding) is quite finished, at the moment there are only a couple of minor issues open. Hence the 1.3 release is currently planned to be published by end of August. ACTIVITY * User activity on mailing lists is quite stable, but still rather low. * In order to get a better feeling about how many users we have we are planning to do some analysis on download counters/page visits. * From a development prospective we are still concentrating on the C++ binding to bring it from beta to stable.

RELEASES There hasn't been any new release since becoming a TLP in January 2013. We are still working on the C++ binding, which will become the main feature of the new release. In collaboration with some beta users we are continuing to improve and fix all known issues in the C++ binding. ACTIVITY * Since reporting last month we have seen some new users, using both the C and beta C++ binding. Good discussions on the mailing list. * Community patches submitted last month are still in review. * From a development prospective we are focusing on the C++ binding. It is becoming more mature, hoping we can release it within the next month.

RELEASES There hasn't been any new release since graduation in January 2013. The release planned for this month has been postponed for a couple of weeks due to some more issues in the C++ binding. Besides some bug fixes and code cosmetics in other bindings the C++ binding is the next big feature coming in the next Etch release. ACTIVITY * User activity has increased (in comparison with the past months), we got good patches by users (and possible new committers) which are currently in review and validation phase. * One major patch updates our Java code bases by bringing it to the newest Java APIs. * Most of activity has occurred in the C++ binding. It is now in a beta state, needs some more tweaks before including it in the next release. * As already mentioned in the last two months, more work is still needed to broad both user and developer community. COMMITTERS OR PMC MEMBERS CHANGE * No changes regarding PMC or committers composition since graduation in January 2013. * Our Committer base is still kind of small but where are in a good work mode.

Apache Etch is a cross-platform, language- and transport-independent RPC-like framework for building and consuming network services. MILESTONES Etch graduated from the Apache Incubator on January 16, 2013. Since then, there haven't been new releases. ACTIVITY * The main activity within the last month was related to the "After graduation tasks". We are following the steps described by http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#life-after-graduation and tracking the status of the different issues at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ETCH-252. See INFRASTRUCTURE section for details. * Development goes on, our main focus is the stabilization of the Etch C++ binding. As soon as this is in a beta status, we are planning to perform our release 1.3.0. * User activity is almost quiet. We are working on improvements of documentation and examples to make it easier for people to use Etch. COMMUNITY No changes regarding PMC or committers composition since graduation. More work is needed to broad both user and developer community. INFRASTRUCTURE * Incubator website, SVN repository and mailing lists have been transfered from their Incubator to TLP locations. Users and developers have been informed about the changes. * Website has been updated to reflect the new status. * Incubator EXIT issues have been signed off. * Etch is now listed on Apaches a.o, projects.a.o sites (DOAP files created). * Updated officer information for new chair. * Twitter used to keep followers up to date about TLP migration. LEGAL No issues. BRANDING Incubator logo has been removed from website, no other known issues.
Etch is a cross-platform, language- and transport-independent framework for building and consuming network services. The Etch toolset includes a network service description language, a compiler, and binding libraries for a variety of programming languages. Status: Development The implementation of the binding-cpp has now reached beta status. We are currently in the stabilizing and tests phase and are planning to do the release within the next month. Graduation status The graduation proposal and the composition of the PMC are currently in discussion. We are planning to vote for the graduation proposal and the PMC Chair in calendar week 50 and then start the discussion on general@incubator mailing list afterwards. Community: In order to present Etch to a wider audience we have filed another proposal for the ApacheCon NA 2013. Furthermore we are planning to put some more effort into the growing of the community next year e.g. by using screencasts and writing a tutorial. Future Tasks: - Finish graduation process - Release of Etch 1.3.0 - Community development Mentor note (Dashorst): The processes in this podling are really like trying to pour molasses through a funnel in the winter. That said, I do think that the project is viable and an Apache community albeit a small, slow moving one. Given the nature of the project and its usage in automobile technology I don't think it will ever be as fast moving as a web or big data project. And that is not a bad thing for this type of software IMO. Shepherd note (Wave): Molasses is apt. I think that they do need to actually vote on graduate. I hope that they actually do. I think it should be a greater priority than a release. Signed-off-by: dashorst, cutting, wave

Status:
The implementation of the binding-cpp was completed initially. After a
short bug fixing phase we would like to create a new release that include it.
We filed a proposal for the ApacheCon Europe 2012 to present the Apache Etch
features to a wider audience.
The Etch podling voted 6/0/0 to do the graduation to become an Apache TLP.
Currently we prepare a resolution and work out a time chart. The graduation
will start while the next days.
Future Tasks:
- Bug fixing binding-cpp
- General Bug fixing
- Graduation
- Community development

- we got a larger contribution of a UDP Binding from BMW Research / Itestra
via Jira. It enables Signals (~ Publish/Subscribe for Properties) and UDP
Broad- and Multicasting of Etch messages, as well as a proposal for a
mechanism of handling multiple etch client connections on the server via one
stack ("single session"). review is in progress.
- Michael and Holger joined the Apache Retreat in Knockree, Ireland and got
to know other Apache people.
- C++ Binding is currently in development (nothing to publish yet, but it
will come), and a new developer (Martin Veith) will join the Etch team at
BMW Car IT and will contribute code to the project
- fixed some smaller bugs in the C, Java and C# bindings
- transition to new CMS system is on its way, some more copying of existing
text/documentation has to be done
- we are looking forward to more contributions from BMW Research / Itestra
regarding Service Management in the future
future tasks:
- integrate contributed third-party code
- make CMS switch
- C++ binding
Etch was accepted into Incubator on 2 September 2008. Etch is a cross-platform, language- and transport-independent framework for building and consuming network services. The Etch toolset includes a network service description language, a compiler, and binding libraries for a variety of programming languages. For the last 3 months the main effort has been by Holger Grandy and Michael Fitzner, who contributed some bug fixes and have been converting documentation. The transition of current Etch Website to the new Apache CMS is in progress. Major parts of the sides are already available inside the CMS repository and can be seen at the staging area. The Spawn Labs team (Comer, Dixson) is working to integrate the c-binding into their product. They've been very quiet lately. We miss them. Comer wrote up something about his service cloud and is waiting for permission to publish it. Although progress is now visible, we still need to get more user and development activity on our lists. Top issues currently are: - plan features and dates for release 1.2 / 1.1.1 - work on further language bindings - website transition to Apache CMS - documentation Note by Martijn Dashorst: I met with Holger Grandy and Michael Fitzner at FOSDEM'11 and we spoke about lots of stuff concerning Etch. I think the future for the podling is bright, but we need to get more people involved by publishing articles. The biggest problem is finding the right venues for publishing the articles. I'll bring Etch under the attention of PR to see if they have any good ideas.
Etch was accepted into Incubator on 2 September 2008. We had our first birthday! Etch is a cross-platform, language- and transport-independent framework for building and consuming network services. The Etch toolset includes a network service description language, a compiler, and binding libraries for a variety of programming languages. Diaspora! Most all of the Cisco-based Etch team found themselves unemployed by Cisco this quarter. So this quarter has been marked with little technical progress as the team members find new homes for themselves. Despite the disruption, Youngjin has begun to pickup on the C-binding work started by James DeCocq. Release 1.1 is ready but needs some administrative polish before it is *done*. Release 1.2 is next in the pipeline. Our problem with finding a home for our continuous build continues. Various plans have been proposed and failed due to lack of a Windows-friendly c# build environment. We need to find a place do public builds. Outstanding items: * More community.. we have been Cisco-centered with just a few nibbles outside of Cisco. Things are definitely changing with members employed or so to be employed in different places. Building a stronger community over the next several months is our key task.
