Web site: http://incubator.apache.org/derby/ Incubator Status Description "Derby" is a snapshot of the IBM's Cloudscape Java relational database. IBM is opening the code by contributing it to The Apache Software Foundation and basing future versions of IBM Cloudscape on the Apache-managed code. To participate in the Derby podling, you should join the mailing list. Just send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . The initial goal of the project while in incubation is to build a viable developer community around the codebase. The second goal of Derby-in-incubation is to successfully produce a release. Since Derby is in incubation, such a release would not have formal standing; it will serve as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate to the developers' and incubator's satisfaction that this aspect of the project is health and understood. Project info * The Apache DB project will own the Derby subproject, and the subproject will follow the Apache DB PMC's direction. Significant contributors to this sub- project (for example, after a significant interval of sustained contribution) will be proposed for commit access to the codebase. * The Derby sub-project's modules will be available as distinct and discrete downloads.

Incubation status reports * none yet Incubation work items Project Setup Identify the codebase date item 2004-08-30 If applicable, make sure that any associated name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product. DONE If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names. DONE If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance. N/A If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted. Copyright date item 2004-08-26 Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project. 2005-01-10 Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright. Verify distribution rights date item 2004-10-12 Check that all active committers have a signed CLA on record. 2004-10-12 Remind active committers that they are responsible for ensuring that a Corporate CLA is recorded if such is is required to authorize their contributions under their individual CLA. 2004-10-12 Check and make sure that for all items included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute. 2004-10-12 Check and make sure that all items depended upon by the project is covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms. Establish a list of active committers ! status item DONE Check that all active committers have submitted a contributors agreement. DONE Add all active committers in the STATUS file. DONE Ask root for the creation of committers' accounts on cvs.apache.org. Infrastructure ! status item DONE Ask infrastructure to create source repository modules and grant the committers karma. DONE Ask infrastructure to set up and archive Mailing lists. DONE Decide about and then ask infrastructure to setup an issuetracking system (Bugzilla, Scarab, Jira). DONE Migrate the project to our infrastructure. Generally, the result of checking off these items will be a Software Grant, CLA, and Corporate CLA for ASF licensed code, which must have no dependencies upon items whose licenses that are incompatible with the Apache License. Licensing awareness DONE - Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers? Project Goals during Incubation Build independent development community * 221 subscribers to dev list (12.68 posts/day) * 282 subscribers to user list (5.67 posts/day) * Added one committer during incubation (jboynes) * PPMC has adopted a plan to actively build the developer community Produce a release * 2004-12-06 10.0.2.1 release approval voted * 2004-12-06 SVN tag created http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/derby/code/tags/10.0.2.1 Exit Things to check for before voting the project out. Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project Has the receiving PMC voted to accept it? **YES** Incubator sign-off Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks? Releases: * 10.0.2.1 : Released 12/06/2004 * 10.1.0.0 : In development PENDING ISSUES ============== None. RESOLVED ISSUES SINCE LAST STATUS ================================= [VOTE] Re-vote for Derby docs in DITA format Jeff Levitt called for a vote to to decide whether to use DITA source files for the Derby documentation, or to continue to look for other options. This would allow us the project to create PDF's, single html files for each document, or dynamically update indexes as opposed to the current HTML source. Passed with seven +1 votes. [VOTE] Reject tally of logo votes Due to irregularities in the voting for the Derby Logo Contest, Jean Anderson called for a vote to reject the tally of votes and restart the contest at a later date. [VOTE] to accept Derby Network Client contribution On April 18, 2005, Satheesh Bandaram announced the availability of a new open source Network Client Driver for the Derby Network Server, replacing the need to use the IBM DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (JCC) as the client to connect to the Derby Network Server. Passed with nine +1 votes. [VOTE] Network client driver should match embedded where possible for implementation specific behaviour. In order to create a seamless transition from embedded to client, Kathey Marsden called for a vote to agree that the client driver behavior should be changed to match the embedded wherever possible. Passed with ten +1 votes. [VOTE] to accept Derby UI and Help plugins for Eclipse On May 13, 2005, Rajesh Kartha announced that the source for the UI components for Eclipse that had been previously available as the IBM Integration plugin for Derby would be contributed to the Derby project and called for a vote to accept it. Passed with three +1 votes. [VOTE] to accept Tomohito Nakayama as a committer Passed with +1 votes from Jeremy Boynes, Jean T Anderson, Satheesh Bandaram, Brian McAllister, Mike Matrigali, Andrew McIntyre, Kathey Marsden [VOTE] to accept Bernt M. Johnsen as a committer Passed with +1 votes from Daniel John Debrunner, Jeremy Boynes, Andrew McIntyre Tomohito Nakayama, Jean T Anderson, Mike Matrigali, Satheesh Bandaram and support from Suresh Thalamati, Oystein Grovlen, Dag H. Wanvik, Olav Sandstaa, Lance J. Anderson, Rajesh Kartha, Manjula G Kutty [VOTE] to accept Øyvind Bakksjø as a committer Passed with +1 votes from Daniel John Debrunner, Jeremy Boynes, Andrew McIntyre Tomohito Nakayama, Jean T Anderson, Mike Matrigali, Satheesh Bandaram and support from Suresh Thalamati, Oystein Grovlen, Dag H. Wanvik, Olav Sandstaa, Lance J. Anderson, Rajesh Kartha, Manjula G Kutty [VOTE] to accept David Van Couvering as a committer Passed with +1 votes from Daniel John Debrunner, Jeremy Boynes, Kathey Marsden, Andrew McIntyre, Jean T.

Wanvik, Susan Cline, Olav Sandstaa, Manjula G Kutty OTHER NEWS ========== The Derby Logo contest has been restarted. New submissions for logos can be attached to JIRA entry Derby-297. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-297 RELEASE STATUS ============== Derby PPMC voted to release 10.1 - waiting for permission from Incubator PMC to distribute the software. Any release must be approved by the Incubator PMC and must clearly be marked as an incubator release, according to the Apache Incubator guidelines: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases%0A Bugs which need to be resolved before the 10.1 release can occur are being tracked in JIRA.
