Below is the November board report for River Apache River is a distributed computing architecture, based on the JSK Starter Kit Source code donated by Sun Microsystems, for the Jini Specification.
Releases: No new releases since last report. Some failing unit tests are the only blocker to release right now and they are being investigated. Progress: Some more interesting discussions are taking place about some directions River might take and what it's going to do next. There have been some commits and we're looking again at getting ready for another release. There has been some frank and open discussion which the PMC dealt with well and we feel that we're acquitting ourselves well. Community: The PMC chair has requested that the PMC/community elect a new chair, citing external commitments preventing him from being able to devote sufficient to River. The board should expect this change to happen soon. Issues: No board issues at this time
