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.

Issues: Discussions were had with the jclouds PMC about merging the Whirr core code into jclouds as part of moving Whirr to the Attic - doesn't sound like that's going to happen. So it's probably time to move Whirr to the Attic.

Whirr is a library for running services like Hadoop or ZooKeeper in the cloud. Releases: No new releases this quarter. Community: The PMC composition did not change, and we had no new committers since the last report. There was a good discussion on the dev list about the new Apache Provisionr project (incubating) and how it relates to Whirr, and in particular whether to bring it to the ASF as a part of Whirr. In the end the community decided to create a new project (Provisionr has now entered incubation). There is interest in using the Provisionr service in Whirr for more reliable machine provisioning. - User mailing list: 15 messages - Dev mailing list: 184 messages - Commits: 15 commits Issues: No Board level issues at this time
