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.

Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. ISSUES Community activity is very low. RELEASES Last release was Tuscany SCA 2.0.1, 10/3/2013. COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Last committer addition was Sebastian Millies, 12/4/2012. There has been only two commits in 2015, one from infra to fix broken download links and one from a Tuscany committer adding a DOAP file. Mailing list traffic was almost non-existent this year. Only a few discussions of JIRA issues and a post from an Emeritus Apache member interested in getting back and maybe work on Tuscany, So recently we've tried a few things to revive the project. Luciano Resende initiated a discussion with the Fabric3 community to see if they'd be interested in merging back with Tuscany to create Tuscany 3.x, but it looks like that discussion has stalled. We also started to discuss a Javascript Node.js implementation of Tuscany SCA for micro-services. I indicated I'd have some spare time to work on it during my vacation. We now have a new repo for that implementation and I'm planning to start working on it during the holidays and see if that Node.js work generates new interest in Tuscany in the community.

Luciano is pursuing this, but we don't have an update yet. - I also indicated that I may be able to find a bit of time for Tuscany again and started another discussion a few days ago on the private list asking if folks would be interested in working on a lightweight Javascript implementation of Tuscany SCA for micro-services, to attempt to get some action again in the project. Two PMC members, Simon Nash and Luciano, showed interest in discussing this on the dev list, so I will move that discussion there. BRANDING - The project needs to update logos with ™.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITY - Last committer addition was Sebastian Millies, 12/4/2012. - Mailing list traffic is low with 18 messages on the user list and 12 messages on the dev list in 2014, and one JIRA notification on the dev list in 2015. - There were no commits from the Tuscany committers in 2014, only one commit from Infra adding the Web site to SVN for svnpubsub. There was one commit from a Tuscany committer in 2015 adding a DOAP file to the project. - A discussion thread was started on Aug 16 on both user and dev lists to request community input on new development plans. One response from a PMC member suggesting a new release to pick up updated dependencies. - The PMC chair indicated on Aug 21 on the private list his intention to step out of the PMC and asked for volunteers to replace him as he is too busy with other work. Given the absence of response from any other PMC members, he is continuing for now with the little spare time he has left. - Another discussion thread was started on Sep 17 on the private list asking if there were enough PMC members to get the project going. Three responses, one too busy to continue, another still following the mailing list without seeing a realistic prospect to get involved in a release or commit activity, a third stating that we need enough PMC members willing to review and vote on releases or new committers/PMCs but volunteering to do that.

Apache Nuvem will define an open application programming interface for
common cloud application services, allowing applications to be easily
ported across the most popular cloud platforms.
Nuvem was accepted for Incubation on June, 2010.
Nuvem is a small community, where the contributions are 100% done by
volunteers in their own free time, which makes the level of activity
low, compared to what is required for graduating it as a TLP.
We have discussed this matter in the Apache Nuvem PMC, and based on
the PMC synergies and technologies dependencies, we are in conversation
with the Apache Tuscany PMC and plans are to graduate Apache Nuvem as a
subproject of Tuscany. So far, the discussions are going fine, and we
should start required votes soon.
Planned activities for graduation:
- Start required votes to graduate as a subproject of Apache Tuscany.
Signed-off-by: lresende (mentor), Roman Shaposhnik (rvs)
IPMC comments:
project has a low level of activity and is self-aware of that, a good
graduation trajectory here seems to be to join Apache Tuscany as a
sub-project. There is a vote in progress addressing such proposal.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. ISSUES - There are no issues that require the board's attention. RELEASES - Tuscany 2.0 release was approved, we started working with @press to get a 2.0 release press release but we are making slow progress on getting the press release out, particularly arranging quotes, etc. COMMUNITY ACTIVITY - In general traffic is on the lower side in the past few months. BRANDING - We still need to update logos with ™ and review project doap file.

Nuvem was accepted for Incubation on June, 2010.
The Nuvem project is moving very slowly, contributions are mostly around
the new features: Message Queue component for different cloud platforms,
which is part of Dulini Atapattu's GSoC project.
Top things to resolve prior to graduation:
- Increase the number of active committers.
Signed-off-by: lresende (mentor), bimargulies, jukka
IPMC comments:
bimargulies: The report comment about small size and slow growth seems
accurate, but there's at least an active mentor in the
house and some things are happening.
jukka: A more concrete plan on how to proceed is needed.
Only a single commit since their last report.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. ISSUES - There are no issues that require the board's attention. RELEASES - Tuscany 2.0 Beta4 release was approved, and the community is working on the RC2 of the official 2.0 release. We also gave heads-up to @press to help us with a 2.0 press release. COMMUNITY ACTIVITY - In general traffic is a little on the lower side if in the past few months. - Tuscany community engaged with students as part of GSoC 2012, but the candidate had proposed ideas for multiple Apache projects and the Tuscany one was not selected. COMMITTER/PMC CHANGES - The Tuscany PMC voted on a new policy on election and rotation of Project Chairs, and also recommended a new project Chair which got approved by the Board last month. BRANDING - We have reviewed and updated website with some of the missing links and added trademarks attribution on the page footer as described in the Project Branding Board Report Checklist.

Nuvem was accepted for Incubation on June, 2010. The Nuvem project is slowly seeing increase of committer activity and mailing list discussions from external users or people interested in the project. The project also had a GSoC project accepted and will have Dulini Atapattu working on a Message Queue component for different cloud platforms. Top things to resolve prior to graduation: - Increase the number of active committers. Signed off by mentor: lresende
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. The past months in Tuscany have been quiet compared to previous years with significantly less commits and dev list discussion. There have been no releases and its approaching a year since the last release. We have just started talking about doing another release and some work on that has now started. Also, one new committer has just been voted in. There have been no PMC changes this quarter, there was a PMC addition in the previous quarter. Traffic on the user list remains consistent though and the subscribers to the user list (346) is up slightly compared to the previous quarter. The PMC is discussing a change of chair but there are no alternative candidates yet. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. This quarter there has been one new PMC member, and while there was a vote to make a contributor a committer they declined the invitation, no reason was given, and they continue to provide patches. There have been a couple of Maven plugin releases and a 2.0-Beta3 release of the main trunk code. Tuscany had five GSoC students this year who have now finished with some successful projects, one of which has now been included in the main trunk code. Tuscany is being used as one of the reference implementations for the OASIS SCA specifications and there has been submissions to OASIS of evidence of Tuscany passing several of the compliance test suites. Some activity stats for the quarter: Avg dev list mails 292/month compared to 304/month for the same period last year The user list averaged 39 emails/month compared to 70/month last year There are currently 358 subscribers to the user list and 265 subscribers to the dev list.

Apache Tuscany, the SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA, is about to be five years old having being accepted for Incubation on the 7th of December 2005. Releases in the last quarter have been a milestone release of the 2.x code and a maven plugin release. There are also two releases with voting currently in progress, 1.6.1, and 2.0-Beta1. There has been one new committer made, a GSOC student who continued to participate after GSoC has finished, and there is a new PMC member currently being discussed. The BarCamp day at the Apache Retreat in Hursley had a good Tuscany turn out and was an enjoyable and useful day for all. At JavaOne there were a number of Tuscany talks and ApacheCon had 6 Tuscany sessions, so kudos to all those involved. Some stats: 370 current subscribers to the user list and during this quarter about 300 emails on the user list. 272 subscribers to the dev list and about 1400 emails in this quarter. Compared to the previous quarter subscribers are down slightly, emails are up slightly.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. There are no board level issues at this time. In the last quarter there have been two releases, a 2.0-M5 milestone release of the new 2.x code stream, and the first release of a travel sample which provides a separately downloadable model SCA/Tuscany application. The first beta release of the 2.x code is now being planned. One new committer has been added, a GSoC student working on a Tuscany project give commit rights to help with getting the project now. The GSoC project seems to have been making good progress. A group of Tuscany committers are planning to attend the Apache Retreat in the UK in September. Mailing list traffic on both dev and user lists is steady but down slightly, perhaps due to summer vacations
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. There are no board level issues at this time. In the last quarter there have no release of the main code bases but there were a couple of associated Maven plugin releases, and releases of the 2.x trunk code and a 1.x sample are being actively worked on. One new committer has been added and a GSoC student was accepted to work on a Tuscany project. Tuscany was one of the projects used at the GDC Open Source day in London with Tuscany committers helping students get experience working on open source. Mailing list traffic is down slightly but subscriber numbers remain steady.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. In the last quarter there was one release made - a 1.6 release from the 1.x code stream. Another release from the latest 2.x code stream has been discussed and should happen in the next month or so. Tuscany continues to have active developer and user communities. There are 371 subscribers on the user mailing list, and 283 to the dev list, and mailing list traffic is steady with around 500 emails per month to the dev list and 85 per month to the user list. The development focus is on the 2.x code which is working towards support for the latest specifications being standardized at OASIS where Tuscany will be one of the OASIS reference implementations, and it will also be the reference implementation of the upcoming SCA Configuration Type for OSGi Remote Services spec as part of OSGi Enterprise Release 4.2. There have been no committer or PMC changes in the last quarter, and there are no board level issues at this time.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA which graduated from the Incubator in May 2008. There were two releases made in the last quarter, a 1.5.1 release from the 1.x code stream which is now in maintenance mode, and a Milestone 4 release from the 2.x code stream which is working towards support for the latest specifications being standardized at OASIS. A focus of development in recent months has been on passing the specification conformance test suites that are becoming available as the OASIS specs approach being finalized (there are about a dozen separate specs). Thats going well with Tuscany now passing or almost passing several of the test suites. Tuscany continues to have active developer and user communities. Mailing list traffic is steady with around 550 emails per month to the dev list and 90 per month to the user list. There are 370 subscribers on the user mailing list, and 285 to the dev list. Several Tuscany committers attended ApacheCon and gave three presentations relating to Tuscany. In the last quarter there have also been a couple of articles published which were written by Tuscany committers. There have been no committer or PMC changes in the last quarter, and there are no board level issues at this time.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA and SCA. Tuscany continues to have active developer and user communities. Mailing list traffic is steady with around 570 emails per month to the dev list and 80 per month to the user list. There are 370 subscribers on the user mailing list, up from 347 last year. Two code streams are currently under development: 1.x which is based on the older specifications released at OSOA and 2.x which is implementing the latest specifications being standardized at OASIS. There have been two releases this quarter: a 1.5 release and a 2.0 milestone 3 release. In addition, there is a 1.5.1 maintenance release which is about to be voted on. Most new development is taking place in 2.x where the focus is on implementing the latest OASIS specifications and on getting the Tuscany runtime passing the OASIS conformance test suites. The Tuscany nightly builds have recently been moved from using Continuum to use the Hudson build machines. This quarter there have been no new committers of PMC membership changes. The project was represented at this year's JavaOne conference with a presentation and a BOF, and there is planned to be a joint track in conjunction with Apache Synapse at the upcoming ApacheCon in November.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA. It is now one year since Tuscany graduated from the Incubator. Since that last board report two new PMC members have been voted on to the PMC , Wojtek Janiszewski, Haleh Mahbod. There have been no new committers. There have been two release, 2.0 M1, 2.0 M2, along with several associated maven plugin releases. A 1.5 release is expected this month and another 2.0 milestone release next month. There are four GSoC students working on Tuscany projects. Mailing list traffic on both the dev and user lists continues to be strong, although we still struggle with how to get more users replying to other user questions. The Tuscany website has been updated to include a Google Analytics Privacy policy disclaimer as requested.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA. It is now nine months since Tuscany graduated from the Incubator and it continues to have active and healthy developer and user communities. One new PMC member has been voted on to the PMC since that last board report, and another is currently being voted on. There have been no new committers. Mailing list traffic on both dev and user lists is starting to track up again after dipping down at the end of the year. Development continues on both the SCA 1.x and 2.x code streams with 2.x aiming for a mid year 2.0 release to support the upcoming final versions of the OASIS SCA specifications. An SCA 1.4 release was announced in January, the first milestone release the 2.0 code is currently being voted on.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA. It is now six months since Tuscany graduated from the Incubator and it continues to be an active and interesting project. PMC+=1, committers+=4 Since the last board report there has been one new addition to the PMC, Dan Becker, and there have been four new committers added: Oscar Castaneda, Ramkumar Ramalingam, Dan Becker, Douglas Siqueira Releases: two There have been two releases since the last board report, SCA 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 which are maintenance releases of the Java SCA project. There is discussion about a 1.4 release that may happen this year, and also we've just voted to start work on a non-backward compatible 2.x code stream. Project Promotion: There were two talks about Tuscany at the recent ApacheCon, with the help of the ASF PRC there was a ASF press release publicizing Tuscany, we're also currently running an anonymous survey to get feedback from users about their use of Tuscany which will be used to help shape the 2.0 release and to try to increase community participation. The new 2.x code stream has been started to work on support for the latest OASIS SCA specifications and to clean up the code base, the 1.x code stream supporting the older OSOA specifications will continued to be supported and maintained. A divergent code branch has also been under development looking at better integration with OSGi and the community is now grappling with how to merge that work with the new 2.x code stream.
Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA. This is the third monthly board report since graduating from the Incubator. Tuscany remains fairly active with developer discussion, user questions, commits and JIRA activity continuing. Since last months board report there have been two releases SDO 1.1.1 and SCA 1.3. An SCA 1.3.1 maintenance release is also now being prepared. One new committer has been voted in, Wojtek Janiszewski, who is one of the GSoC students working on a Tuscany project. There have been no changes to the PMC.

Apache Tuscany is an SOA framework based on OASIS OpenCSA. This is the first board report after graduating from the incubator last month. Since last months Incubator report there has been one release for SCA 1.2.1, there are SDO 1.1.1 RCs under review, and a branch has just been taken for an SCA 1.3 release probably for late June/early July. Migration from the Incubator to a TLP is under way but has been a little slow due to all the release activities, I'd hope it will be completed by next months board report. Mailing list discussion has started up again around some runtime and distribution redesigning for the future SCA releases. These are things we've struggled to get consensus in the past and early indications are that that this time we might have more success. On the community front two new committers have been voted in, Scott Kurz and Vamsavardhana Reddy. The six GSoC students working on Tuscany projects are working on their first phase of the development. A good level of cooperation continues with the Apache ODE. Red Hat/JBoss announced on the mailing list that they want SCA support for their SOA Platform so plan to use Tuscany and participate in Tuscany development
Tuscany provides infrastructure for developing service-oriented applications based on Service Component Architecture (SCA) specification and Service Data Objects (SDO) specifications. These specifications were submitted to OASIS in March 2007 by OSOA (www.osoa.org), and OASIS have now issued a "Call for Participation" for the technical committees to advance the specifications. Incubating since: 2006-11-30 Top issues? Start openly discussing what needs to be done to graduate Community aspects: Tuscany PPMC formally announced Voted Andy Grove and Fuhwei Lwo as a new committer Integration with Apache Projects started or ongoing Working with Apache ODE to provide BPEL integration Working with Apache Geronimo to provide Tuscany hosting. A simple scenario is now working. Working with Apache Directory to provide DAS LDAP (patch with initial implementation ready) Working with Apache ServiceMix and Apache Synapse on design of integrating SCA Apache Lab project called Fluid extends Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) for SDO and prototyped integration with DAS. Good community involvement. Users are providing patches and helping to answer questions. Continuing to enhance Tuscany website to improve information sharing. Provided quick get started document and extended user documentation. Provided nightly builds and downloads through Continuum. Releases since last report: Released Java SCA 0.90 and Java SCA 0.91, with another SCA release this month under discussion on the ML Improved usability, created stable extension SPIs and changed architecture to be modularized for easy integration, Java SDO 1.0 release is currently going through vote process, following the 1.0-incubating-beta1 release in May This release compeletes SDO 2.1 spec implementation, improved samples and includes contributions from SDO users. Thanks! Java DAS beta1 releases is currently going through vote process

Top issue? Need to get back on track with agreed project goals, provide a
stable codebase/SPIs, and follow up with regular releases. This should
create an environment that will attract a growing and diverse community of
users and developers. We are working towards this.
Community aspects:
* Voted in Adriano Crestani, an individual contributor, as a committer
for his contributions to DAS project.
* Voted in Andy Grove from RogueWave as a committer for his lengthy list
of contributions to the SDO project.
* Have been receiving many good user questions and have received good
feedback on quality of responses that were provided.
* Enhanced Tuscany website to improve information sharing. We are
working on user and architecture guides for contributors or users of
Tuscany.
* Integration with Apache projects
o Working with Apache Directory to provide DAS LDAP.
o Integrated with BSF and Axis2.
* Fractal is working on integration with Tuscany SCA Java
* 3 of the commmitters (Jeremy Boynes, Jim Marino and Meeraj)chose to
start a new open source project called Fabric3 in March 2007.
Code:
* Released M3 incubator release of Native SCA and SDO C++ in early May.
* Formed Community Test Suite for SDO which has been receiving many
contributions, over 300 tests.
* In the process of releasing Java SDO Beta1 incubator release. It has
community approval and is going through IPMC approval.
* In the process of releasing SCA Java. This release is focused on
improved usability, stability (stable SPIs) and modularity. Stable and
simple SPIs and modularity enhance extensibility of SCA for integration with
other open source projects.
Note: OSOA is a collaboration group where the first version of SCA and SDO
spec were developed, see: http://www.osoa.org
Project is just starting incubation. CLAs are on file for the initial committers. A CCLA has been received for the initial contributions of C++ and Java implementations and the code has been imported into SVN. Activity is starting on the development mailing list and includes new contributors to the project.
