Hi folks: River is required to report to Apache’s board in May. The due date for reporting will be around May 14, for the board meeting May 21. Here’s a proposed report - let me know if you want any changes.
At the same time, I’d like to step away as PMC chair. Ideally we should choose a new chair before May 14, so I can propose the required board resolution before the May 21 meeting. Cheers, Greg Trasuk. Apache River is a Java-based Service Oriented Architecture, implementing the Jini Specification and Jini Technology Starter Kit originally donated by Sun Microsystems. ISSUES FOR THE BOARD There are no board-level issues at this time RELEASES Apache River 2.2.2 was released on November 18, 2013 Apache River 2.2.1 was released on May 2, 2013. COMMUNITY No new committers have been added since Nov of 2011. There has been some discussion of the project’s health on the dev@ and users@ mailing lists, which has led to an effort to update the project’s build architecture, in hopes of removing at least one barrier to participation. ACTIVITY Mailing lists and development have been reasonably active in the past few months. 4 messages on users@ from Mar-Apr, and over 150 messages on dev@. Six issues have been reported on Jira and four of those have been resolved.
