Re: Draft report

[Patricia Shanahan]

I don't think the information about the tutorial would be useful to the 
board. They care very little about what is going on technically, just 
whether we have a healthy community.

I suggest getting the guided tutorial pointer into the web site 
somewhere that new developers are likely to see.

Greg,

It looks good.  +1 on releasing this.

One comment might be to point people looking at the Java implementation
classes to the md files that provide the guided tutorial.  I started in the
code and only later found the site/ section.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi all:

Report looks good.  If possible, I’d like to try and release the examples
project before the board meeting.  Could I ask people to take a final look
at it before I cut the release candidate?
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/river/river-examples/ <
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/river/river-examples/> to view it, or
http://svn.apache.org/river/river-examples/ <
http://svn.apache.org/river/river-examples/> to access it.

Cheers,

Greg Trasuk

This is the first time I have based the report on the
reporter.apache.org tool, so the format has changed. Please review and
suggest corrections and improvements.

The report is due to the board no later than Aug. 12th. I plan to post a
final version here on or about Aug. 9th, and request votes approving it
from the PMC members.

Report from the Apache River committee [Patricia Shanahan]

## Description:
- Apache River is a Java-based Service Oriented Architecture,
implementing the Jini Specification and Jini Technology Starter Kit.


## Activity:

- The main objectives are release 3.0 and an improved new user
experience. During the report period there were commits for both objectives.

## Health report:
- The project continues to make only slow progress, mainly due to lack
of time on the part of the committers.

## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## LDAP committee group/Committership changes:

- Currently 13 committers and 13 LDAP committee group members.
- No new changes to the LDAP committee group or committership since last
report. The last change in the PMC was in June 2014, when Patricia Shanahan
returned from emeritus to active status as a committer and PMC member.
