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.

A standards compliant parallel XML Query processor. VXQuery has been incubating since 2009-07-06. There are no formal issues blocking graduation. The issue of off-list discussions that was identified by the mentors a few month ago has been addressed. While off-list discussions are still happening, (intermediate) results of those discussions are now regularly brought back to the list. While not a formal requirement, the current plan is to do a second incubator release before graduation to a) release the changes that accumulated while the first release was prepared and to b) have a release prepared by another RM. 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? Marvin Humphrey agreed to mentor VXQuery and the project now has 3 active mentors. How has the project developed since the last report? The first incubating release has been released on Dec 6. Progress has been made on - the definition of the benchmark, on - improving the performance of the system, and on - running VXQuery on a cluster.

The VXQuery Project implements a standard compliant XML Query processor for parallel evaluation. It has been in incubation since 2009-07-06. VXQuery was able to maintain the increased level of activity that was reported in the July report and made significant progress towards completing the XQuery functionality. The remaining top issue is a release. Recently the preparations for the first release have started and they are still ongoing. Release artifacts should be available and voted on in the next few weeks. Signed-off-by: jochen, jukka
The VXQuery Project implements a standard compliant XML Query processor for parallel evaluation. It has been in incubation since 2009-07-06. VXQuery changed its focus from being a pure library implementation of XQuery in Java to being an engine for parallel XQuery evaluation. For the runtime VXQuery now leverages the Hyracks system which is an Apache-licensed parallel execution engine developed at UCI. So far the top issues were 1) low activity 2) small community 3) create a release. The activities on these issues are: ad 1) Since this change of focus - and the start of a GSoC project with this new focus - development activity has picked up significantly. This due to both activity of the GSoC student (Preston Carman) and of the existing committers. ad 2) Preston Carman a) has provided good patches for VXQuery and b) interacts very well with the existing community. Consequently he is a candidate to be the next committer for VXQuery. After the initial vote on vxquery-private failed (all committers voted +1, but there was no mentor/IPMC member vote), Jukka Zitting voted +1. The next step is to finalize the administrative part to make Preston a committer. Further, there is a plan to publish a paper to show the projects utility and to increase the visibility of the incubation effort. ad 3) After the change of focus some things work, but not enough to build a release that is easily consumable. VXQuery should be released before a paper is published to enable readers or the paper to run the software. Signed off by mentor: Shepherd: Matt Franklin
The VXQuery Project implements a standard compliant XML Query processor.
It has been in incubation since 2009-07-06.
Recent activities:
- change of the focus of the project (the previous focus was to be
flexible wrt the representation of the data model, the new focus
is parallel processing of large amounts of XML data)
- renewed development activity
- 2 proposals for GSoC (1 person expressed interest in working on
VXQuery for GSoC)
Top issues before graduation:
- Build community
VXQuery's community is still the initial (very small) community
The goal of the change of focus to attract more interest in the
project and to increase the size and diversity of the community
- Create a release
