The following is my thoughts on what the report could include, where I have
input. Areas where I don't know status / lack information is highlighted
in yellow:
------
OpenAz
OpenAz is a project to create tools and libraries to enable the
development of Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) Systems in a
variety of languages. In general the work is at least consistent with
or actually conforming to the OASIS XACML Standard.
OpenAZ has been incubating since 01-2015.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increasing community involvement: We are focusing on getting information
published on the website to aid the acquisition and orientation of new
contributors,
as well increasing the number of committers, in order to reduce individual
member
workload, reduce reliance on any particular member, and to increase project
velocity.
2. Merging the source code from AT&T, JP Morgan and Oracle and creating
POM¹s. AT&T and JP Morgan source code has been merged and POM¹s created,
it needs uploading into the Apache repository.
3. Get our first release done.
[NOTE: I don't know whether this is done: "Get ICLA¹s from all the
committers.
So far AT&T and JP Morgan have done, but Oracle is taking more time."]
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There have been multiple slowdowns and votes toward retiring the project.
Though we have a small team and there has been less than ideal community
involvement, we have recently increased the number of active members and
are directing focused efforts towards increasing community involvement.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have recently added a few members to the contributors list, and hope
to be adding new committers soon.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have merged in a port of the administrative portion of AT&T's
contributed
code, which was the last remaining piece of that code base. More work
needs
to be done on this front, but it's a major part of the code base and this
is a good
start toward making it happen.
We have also merged a fix for configuration and policy files, which
updated
class names and removed duplicate xml declarations from policy files.
Date of last release:
N/A
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
[NOTE: I do not know anything about this]
