Today is the deadline. How's this: --------------------------------
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. One new active committer has already been elected and will be processed as soon as paperwork is received. There are several other committers that may be added in the near future. 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. 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 participants and are directing focused efforts towards increasing community involvement. We will be checking the status next month to determine whether efforts contributed by this new group will be sufficient for recovering the project. How has the community developed since the last report? We have recently added a few participants to the contributors list, have elected one new committer, and hope to be electing and adding additional 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? One new committer was elected Tuesday, May 3rd.
