Here is the current Board report off the top of my head. Please
provide your input. I'll finalize this based on comments put on this
thread at the end of Monday.
Thanks!
Geronimo Project - Board Report
Summary -
All in all it was fairly quiet at the end of the year. The project
team has been focusing on two releases. 1.2-beta was released that
includes integration of three projects from the incubator (OpenEJB,
Yoko and OpenJPA). 2.0-M1 was released that includes many of the new
Java EE 5.0 technologies. The project is working towards a goal of
completing a certified server in time for Java One. 2.0-M1 also
pulled in CXF from the Incubator.
Collaboration with several other projects in Apache is going on which
includes Axis 2, OpenJPA, OpenEJB, CXF and Yoko. There has been some
mention about OSGi which would include Felix but that work hasn't
really taken off yet.
Here are the details.

* DayTrader
Released a performance report on Geronimo in October. DayTrader was
the benchmark sample used for comparisons. The report can be found
at http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/Geronimo-1.1.1-
PerformanceReport.pdf
* DevTools
* XBean
* Specifications
Specifications were reorganized after several months of debate.
Rather than having a single version for the specifications each one
is packaged separately. Dain Sundstrom volunteered to help keep the
releases and organization going.
* Other Work
WADI clustering has been moving forward
GCache has continued development but there has not been a lot of
activity on the list.
New JMX console was added to Geronimo 1.2
JNDI / Classloader viewer was added by a new community member.
Really neat stuff.
