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 OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to Apache OpenJPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We are currenly implementing Jakarta JPA-3.2 updates. Most of the work happens in the OPENJPA-2940 branch, so not much to see yet on the master in the repo. But work is progressing. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (18 years ago) There are currently 36 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

Unfortunately all active members are chairs at some other projects... We try to address JIRA issues. Also we seems to have one active contributor: Paulo Cristovão de Araújo Silva Filho.
## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We right now have some implementation discussions in a few tickets and on the list. Apart from that the last quarter war rather silent. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (18 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We made a 4.0.1 release with bug fixes and also worked on our site. There also have been some discussions about whether and how to address security concerns for ports which should actually be hidden by the network security on higher layers. Also: should we still patch possible deserialisation glitches or should we point to the generic solution provided by JEP290? This is btw not only an issue with OpenJPA but potentially many Java based ASF projects. ## Community Health: I'm happily surprised that the community is really active again. To be honest we cannot guarantee that this stays at this level, but given the age of OpenJPA this is still great imo. If there is something to do quite a few people still show up with helping hands. This is also reflected in the mailing list statistics: "dev@openjpa.apache.org had a 1081% increase in traffic in the past quarter". I also started a call who else might be interested to take over the PMC chair position. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We've worked on a security improvement. Maxim also improved the generated bytecode and a few other things. ## Community Health: Activity dropped a bit after our first JakartaEE release. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We did finish our work towards JakartaEE 9 and released a first version. This still does not pass the TCK, so we do not claim compatibility though. ## Community Health: Activity was fine, we did test our first JakartaEE release. Thus mainly stabilisation and feedback did happen. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We finished our JakartaEE9 migration and also implemented a big task by moving away from the unmaintained sourceforge Serp library to native ObjectWeb ASM. This also increased portability with the latest Java versions. Right now we are preparing a milestone release for OpenJPA-4.0.x ## Community Health: Small but active community. We've had 5 active committers in the last quarter and regular replies on the mailing list. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We are actively working on a native Jakarta-3.1 (and later 4.0) release. Right now we are getting rid of Serp, which is an ancient byte code library which only supports up to Java-1.5. We are replacing it with native ASM code to leverage Java22 and beyond. All the packages have been migrated to the jakarta namespace. ## Community Health: Small but active community. Good feedback cycles. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to OpenJPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We are now rather confiden to start OpenJPA-4.0 which would target the jakarta namespace natively. Right now we only provide support for jakarta via shading, which is quite tricky to consume. ## Community Health: Small community but I hope that the Jakarta push will revive activity. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

OpenJPA runs in stand-alone Java SE as well as containers e.g Java EE, Tomcat, Spring or OSGi. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Activity: The last quarter was very active. We got support for HerdDB as contribution plus many other parts. In addition to that we worked on resolving a lot of old tickets and did run our full test suite to most of the databases we do support - subsequently leading to a lot of bug fixes on that side. We are now ramping up for a new release which is expected in the next few weeks ## Health report: People are still around, code is very functional and stable. We try to review old tickets and either resolve or close them. ## PMC changes: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Maxim Solodovnik on 2019-04-13. - No new committers.

We are doing fine still though. ## Community Health: I can only iterate what I explained 2 months ago. Codebase is complex and we keep our eyes open for any new contributors which might pop up. But that's not an easy task.

I hope we'll get this up again and continue working on improving JPA-2.2 compatibility. Otoh there are enough people still active to not worry about activity IF something very urgent pops up. ## Community Health: Yes, we should somehow attract more people. But the codebase is old and stable. And due to the JavaEE/JakartaEE pause right now there is not much action in sight which might attract new developers.
No report was submitted. @Roman: pursue a report for next month

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Activity declined a bit after shipping our first JPA-2.2 release.
We have been working on a few fixes and hope to ship the next
bugfix release in the upcoming quarter.
## Health report:
Contributions are still ok-ish for such an old project.

## Description:
Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for databases,
relational as well as non-relational. For relational databases, OpenJPA is
compliant to the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0.
OpenJPA runs in stand-alone Java SE as well as containers e.g Java EE,
Tomcat, Spring or OSGi.
We are currently working on implementing the JPA-2.2 specification and
just released our first version.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
We have been quite active in the last quarter.
We worked towards more JPA-2.2 features and have just
shipped a 3.1.0 release.
There also has been quite some interaction with contributors who reported
bugs. The JPA TCK is now theoretically available via the JakartaEE project
but we did not yet have a chance to test against it. This is on our
list for the next few months. While doing this we will also figure
the rest of the missing JPA-2.2 functionality.
## Health report:
Contributions are fine and the community activity is also quite ok.
Ofc could be way better, but we are fine given how old the project is!

## Issues:

## Activity:
Moving to GIT got us some more traffic. We also started adding Maven
profiles to start up various databases via Docker. This heavily
simplifies contributing to different database dictionaries.
We also had a discussion about what our 3.0.x line currently supports.
We are right now a little bit in a limbo between JPA-2.0 and 2.2 due
to not having had access to the JPA TCK. We hope this will soon
become better as the JPA TCK is now freely available via JakartaEE.
It is a lot work to adopt though, so we expect this to take up some
months.
## Health report:
Community is ok. I hope we get some bigger changes done due to the
move to GIT. We've re-added Craig as PMC member as he got lost somehow
in Whimsy. We are also discussing about 2 new PMC members.

and also had a few bugs fixed.
We also got 2 releases done. So while dev activity is mediocre
we still have plenty of community.
## Health report:

Could be more. Much more. Otoh we got a few patches recently.
Mainly smallish patches, but also some bigger ASM contribution
and Java9/10/11 stuff.
We are preparing to ship OpenJPA-2.4.3.
And after that I hope to finally finish OpenJPA-3.0.0.
## Health report:
Maintenance going on. And patches get applied.
Attention could be higher of course.

Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for databases, relational as well as non-relational . For relational databases, OpenJPA is compliant to industry-standard Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0 version. OpenJPA runs in stand-alone JSE as well as containers e.g JEE, Tomcat, Spring or OSGi. == Community == OpenJPA developers had developed a general-purpose, robust software for Object-Relational Mapping. They also ensured its stability and backward compatibility across many released versions. OpenJPA has a significant user base and many users have migrated their persistence provider to OpenJPA. Current OpenJPA developers actively maintain the code base as well as support the user community via the mailing list and the code service streams. However, developer resource is shrinking as many senior developers are not active and new volunteers are hard to come by as new development opportunities are rare and hard to incorporate for a matured code base. We hope that the Board members may be able to share their experience on how to re-energize a matured project in its maintenance phase. == Recent Work == At this phase, the software defects are few but reported defects have been resolved [1] in timely fashion.

No report was submitted. @Rich: follow up with PMC; this is the second report in a row that the PMC missed.
No report was submitted.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time.
* Highlights
Apache OpenJPA provides POJO persistence for stand-alone JSE, JEE
container and many other lightweight frameworks, such as Tomcat,
Spring or OSGi.
Project codebase is progressing to support Java8 at compile and runtime.
Compile time support for Java8 is available.
* Community
The developer community had maintained stability of the codebase,
supported previous releases.
Mailing lists continue to be active for a stable project such as OpenJPA.
* Governance
We aim to build partnership with database vendors especially
in non-relational realm.
No report was submitted. @Brett please report next month
## Description: Apache OpenJPA is a Java Persistence API 2.0 Implementation ## Activity: * Maintenance is going on for JPA-2.0 parts. * We had a few people asking for JPA-2.1 support but did not start yet. * Discussions about cleaning up the PCEnhancer and moving to ASM only (currently we use 4 different bytecode libs in OpenJPA in parallel) * We still get regular bug reports and even patches. ## Issues: * The Project needs some healthy blood refresh. * We are probably blocked with moving to JPA-2.1 by the outstanding TCK for EE7 issue. ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 29 committers and 12 PMC members in the project. - Last new PMC member: Mark Struberg on 2015-05-18 ## Releases: - Last release was 2.4.0 on 2015-04-22.

Many of them are not relevant anymore. We need to do a cleanup of those.

== Summary == Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for relational and non-relational databases. For relational database, OpenJPA provides persistence for Plain Old Java Object (POJO). OpenJPA is compliant to industry-standard Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0 version and runs in stand-alone JSE as well as JEE containers and many other lightweight frameworks, such as Tomcat, TomEE, Spring or OSGi. == Community == OpenJPA developers had, over past several years, not only developed a general-purpose, stable software for complex Object-Relational Mapping but also ensured its stability across many released versions. OpenJPA has a solid user base and many have migrated their persistence provider to OpenJPA from more well-known provider in the past. Current OpenJPA developer/committers actively maintain the code base as well as support via the mailing list users and the code service streams. However, developer resource is shrinking as many senior committers are not active and new volunteers are hard to come by as new development opportunities are rare and hard to incorporate. Also lack of strong corporate interest/sponsorship is affecting future growth/expansion of the community. PMC members are exploring how to invigorate the project. We hope that the Board members may be able to share their experience on how to re-energize a matured project in its maintenance phase of life. == Recent Work == OpenJPA development team member Jody Grassel has upgraded Serp bytecode library to version 1.15 for Java 8 language features (e.g. lambda expression) and integrated OpenJPA with the upgrade. As OpenJPA natively uses bytecode enhancement, supporting Java 8 has more than usual impact on OpenJPA. Many requests have been received for upgrade to JPA 2.1 compliance. Prototype work for supporting JPA 2.1 features such as Store Procedure support has started. == Issues == One of the nightly builds (2.3.1) artifact is missing [1] in the repository. The issue is likely to be an infrastructure issue and is being tracked by [2] [1] https://repository.apache.org/snapshots/org/apache/openjpa/apache-openjpa/2.3.1-SNAPSHOT/ [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2537

OpenJPA 2.1.1 was due for release in July 2011.
Rick Curtis has volunteered for Release Management.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA 2.1.0 was released in February 2011. Trademark and branding policy Thanks to Ravi Palacherla who volunteered to migrate our web presence from Confluence to Apache CMS. The migration is underway. The conversion to .mdtext and then to .html worked well for most of the pages. But there are few confluence macros that are not converted to mdtext. These are being converted manually. The trademarks will be updated as part of the conversion process. Community No new committers nor new PMC members were added this quarter. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with close to 230 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 150 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA email subscriptions are stable at approximately 140 subscribers to dev and 230 to users. We accepted a code donation from a project that started at codehaus for openjpa-maven-plugin. We are working with a Google Summer of Code proposer on a project to improve the xml metadata handling of overrides of annotations. Governance We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases OpenJPA 2.1.0 was released in February 2011.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights The OpenJPA web presence was evaluated with regard to the trademark and branding requirements. Most of the requirements are already met, with the exception of direct "sponsor", "thanks", and "security" links. There are links to the Apache sponsor, thanks, and security pages but these are linked by the OpenJPA sponsor, thanks, and security pages. The trickiest issue is that OpenJPA is introduced as "a Java persistence project" which is a noun, not an adjective. This will need to be changed to "The Apache OpenJPA project is a Java persistence project". We have identified a volunteer to migrate the existing Confluence-based web tool to the Apache CMS, and the changes with regard to trademark and branding will be done concurrent with the migration. Community A new JSR for JPA was just posted to the JCP web site. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=338 The terms of the sample TCK appear to be similar to the previous versions which are acceptable for use by Apache projects. New committers were voted into the project: Jody Grassel and Heath Thomann. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with close to 230 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 110 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA email subscriptions are stable at approximately 150 subscribers to dev and 240 to users. Governance We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases A branch 2.1.x has been created in preparation for a maintenance release 2.1 early in 2011.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA made two maintenance releases: 1.0.4 and 2.0.1. OpenJPA has decided to stop support of JRE 1.5 starting with 2.1.0, so the last release that supports 1.5 would be the 2.0.x series. Community We're implementing a plan to give more users write access to the wiki to encourage contributions. The hope is that contributors to the wiki will become committers over time. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 250 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 150 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are about 150 subscribers to dev and over 240 to users. Governance There have been no changes to the committer or PMC rosters; a vote is underway for a new committer. We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases The project released OpenJPA 1.0.4 which implements JSR 220, and OpenJPA 2.0.1, which implements JSR 317.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA has published its implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. As reported earlier, the release occurred just after the April board meeting. We finally got around to defining OpenJPA's DOAP file. The results: http://projects.apache.org/projects/openjpa.html Community Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 250 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 200 messages per month on the users alias.

Highlights OpenJPA is preparing to publish its implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. The OpenJPA release is 2.0.0. There were some last minute changes that will require another spin of the release. So the release will probably occur the week of the board meeting. Community Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 350 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 200 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users. OpenJPA voted in two new committers, Dianne Richards and Ravi Palacherla. Governance The OpenJPA PMC voted in a new member, Rick Curtis. We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases Several milestones of OpenJPA 2.0.0 have been released.
Highlights OpenJPA is wrapping up implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. A maintenance revision, OpenJPA 1.2.2 has been released. Community Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 220 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 220 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users. Governance No changes in the PMC list for the quarter. We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases A maintenance revision, OpenJPA 1.2.2 has been released.
Highlights OpenJPA continues to implement the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in Proposed Final Draft 2 status. The latest draft was issued 08-October-2009 and is very close to what will be voted upon as the final release. The Field Of Use restriction in the draft specification was resolved with Geir's help, and an interim release of the problematic API was published. A release of OpenJPA 2.0.0 Milestone 3 has been posted for download. This release is based on the Proposed Final Draft 2 of JSR-317. Community Rick Curtis and Tim McConnell were offered, and they accepted, committer status on the project. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 400 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 250 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users. The community voted to adopt a logo for OpenJPA.

Releases OpenJPA 2.0.0 Milestone 3 has been posted for download.
Highlights OpenJPA continues to implement the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in Proposed Final Draft status. The latest draft was issued 13-March-2009 and contains several very large changes that will keep the project busy for another few months. Additionally, the spec has continued to evolve after the publication of the PFD. OpenJPA still has a Field Of Use problem with the draft JPA 2.0 specification license. The license contains language restricting distribution of the early implementation of JSR-317. The way we read this is that OpenJPA will be unable to offer an early release of OpenJPA that supports JPA 2.0 until and unless 2.(iii) is amended to remove the clause "is made available for testing and evaluation purposes only". This issue was raised with Geir Magnusson, Apache VP, JCP on February 3, 2009, and is still unresolved. Community Donald Woods was offered, and he accepted, committer status on the project. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 500 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 250 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 225 to users. A vote is underway for a logo for OpenJPA, with 15 entries. Information here: http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/logo-contest.html A vote to change the maximum line length for source files resulted in allowing 120 character lines. We do bike sheds too.

See Attachment P
Highlights OpenJPA has shipped another maintenance release, OpenJPA 1.0.2, and is planning a minor feature release, OpenJPA 1.1.0. The crypto web page was reviewed and OpenJPA does not fall into the category ECCN 5D002, and therefore needs no special export classification. Community EasyBeans has integrated OpenJPA to provide JPA services. EasyBeans is an open source, lightweight and modular EJB3 container hosted by the OW2 consortium. http://www.ow2.org.

Highlights: OpenJPA continues to work toward its first release as a TLP, to be called OpenJPA 1.0.0. A few release candidates have been built and the release is imminent. There are no board issues at the moment. Community: A public face-to-face meeting was held August 6 and 7, hosted by BEA in San Jose. The meeting was advertised on the Apache party alias in addition to the openjpa dev alias. The gathering was well- attended, with 12 OpenJPA folks physically together, another 4 dialing in via conference call, and one invited outside speaker. The results of the meeting were posted to the OpenJPA wiki at http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpa-up-close-and-personal.html Many discussion topics resulted in action items to be taken to the dev and user aliases for community consensus. Governance: The PMC has voted to grant commit privileges to Catalina Wei (fancy@a.o). The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them committers. Releases: OpenJPA 1.0.0 is being prepared for release.
Highlights OpenJPA continues to work toward its first release as a TLP, to be called OpenJPA 1.0.0. There are currently 46 open issues that have been identified as "close before 1.0.0". Community The users@openjpa.apache.org mailing list was started upon graduation and already has over 100 posts, from 16 unique non-committer posters. A public face-to-face meeting is being discussed for sometime this summer in the bay area. We're hoping that the planning date is far enough out that many interested folks can join. We've invited Bill Pugh (FindBugs) to give us a presentation. Governance Release naming policy for the first release has been resolved. David Ezzio was voted as a new committer (and new to Apache). The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them committers.
Highlights In its first month following graduation from the incubator, OpenJPA has begun work on its first official release, 1.0.0. Community Email traffic on the lists continues to grow as more people discover that the Java EE 5 specification really does allow pluggable persistence implementations. Governance The TLP migration of the svn repository, mail lists, unix aliases, and openjpa web site have been completed. The incubator web site has been updated to indicate that openjpa is no longer in incubation. Release naming policy is being discussed and resolution is expected prior to the first release as a TLP. Michael Dick was added to the OpenJPA PMC.
The code arrived this quarter, and that helped the community as there's now something to discuss. :) The initial code drop emerged from BEA and is now actively being worked on. There have been community discussions on new features, documentation, and release numbering. The community decided to use cwiki and adding documentation for the project. The community added two new committers (Kevin Sutter and David Wisneski) who are actively committing code to the tree. We are currently working with the Spring community to address integration issues and to ensure that OpenJPA plugs into a Spring persistence container environment appropriately. Work is also ongoing to build user-focused release downloads and to integrate with the Apache continuous-integration facilities.
