GRDDL is just one (small) module within Jena.
Jena GRDDL implements stuff specified here: 
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec

Jena GRDDL artifacts are not published in Maven Central at the moment.

More importantly, Jena does not use any click through.

This is just to avoid confusion.

[IP-CLEARANCE] Bushel Donation to Apache Ant

[Stefan Bodewig]

Hi all,

the people behind the Bushel project at Google Code[1] which provides
limited OSGi support to Apache Ivy want to donate their codebase for
integration into Ivy.

The code can be found at JIRA issue IVY-1241[2], all three authors
(one of them is Ant PMC member Nicolas Lalevée) signed software grants
and the Ant PMC voted to accept the donation.

The form is already online at
 but I forgot to
add it to the index (done now, should become world-visible soonish).

72hrs waiting period for -1s start now.

Thanks

Stefan

Work will begin after the first SVN import of the existing code.

on the wiki by mistake.

Dormant projects to mothball? (was missing reports ...)

[Noel J. Bergman]

Of the currently missing reports:

  - Droids appears to have no activity since September.  People asking
questions are not getting answered.  Perhaps the project should be
mothballed.
  - HISE has some activity, although October was quiet.
  - Stonehenge appears to have been dead since July, when it made a
milestone release, and is discussing being archived.  There appears to be
disappointment over the perceived disappearance of Microsoft and WSO2.
  - VCL appears to be active, with no reason for the lack of a report.
  - Wookie appears to be active, with no reason for the lack of a report.

Other than VCL and Wookie, should all of them be mothballed?  Does the WS
project want Stonehenge?

November 2010 Incubator Status Report

[Noel J. Bergman]

---

There are no issues for the Board.

New PMC Members: Hadrian Zbarcea, Isabel Drost, Siegfried Goeschi, Mohammad
Nour El-Din (pending his acceptance).  Henning Schmiedehausen has left the
PMC.

Infrastructure has proposed that the Incubator switch over to the new CMS.
It seems that early next year will be the timeframe.

The PMC has voted to submit OODT for TLP status.  Congratulations to the
project.  Kitty, Celix and Stanbol have been voted to start Incubation.

  - Kitty: lightweight Java application server performance diag & admin
utility
  - Celix: OSGi-like C implementation with focus on interoperability with
OSGi
  - Stanbol: software stack and set of components for semantic content
management

Jena, a semantic web framework in Java, is currently being discussed.
Bertrand and other have discussed coordination amongst the semantic content
projects: Clerezza, Stanbol and Jena.

We also found strong support to start an android-interest mailing list to
help build a critical mass of developer support for Android-based projects
at the ASF.

Finally, based on prior discussion with the Board, and the benign results of
subsequent experiments, the Incubator is discussing looser rules for
projects to vote on their own Committers.

Missing reports: DeltaCloud, Droids, HISE, Stonehenge, VCL, Wookie

  - Droids appears to have no activity since September.  People asking
questions are not getting answered.  Perhaps the project should be
mothballed.
  - HISE has some activity, although October was quiet.
  - Stonehenge appears to have been dead since July, when it made a
milestone release, and is discussing being archived.  There appears to be
disappointment over the perceived disappearance of Microsoft and WSO2.
  - VCL appears to be active, with no reason for the lack of a report.
  - Wookie appears to be active, with no reason for the lack of a report.

An e-mail has already been sent to start the discussion of mothballing or
otherwise handling these projects.

= ALOIS =

ALOIS stands for "Advanced Log Data Insight System" and is meant to be a
fully implemented open source SIEM security information and event management
system.

ALOIS is incubating since 22nd October 2010.

Things done since October: * Committers user accounts created * Added more
comments to sourcecode * Added apache license and copyright to sourcecode *
Uploaded sourcecode to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/alois/trunk * Released
unpublished library "libisi" to rubygems (https://rubygems.org/gems/libisi)
and rubyforge http://rubyforge.org/projects/libisi/

Next steps todo: * Create developer howto (to explain how to get started and
howto test the sourcecode) * Review code * Create a public demo server *
Create Roadmap (including reschedule preexisting bugs) * Ensure required
libraries/dependencies meet license requirements * Publishing internal
bugreports to https://issues.apache.org/jira/


= Amber =

Amber is a project to develop a Java library which provides an API
specification for, and an unconditionally compliant implementation of the
OAuth v1.0, v1.0a and v2.0 specifications. OAuth is a mechanism that allows
users to authenticate and authorise access by another party to resources
they control while avoiding the need to share their username and password
credentials.

The most important issues that must be addressed before graduation are:

 * attract new users and developers
 * making a release

The Incubator PMC / ASF Board should be aware that:

 * community activity is very low and committers/mentors have been quite
dormant latelly

How has the community developed since the last report

 * No change

How has the project developed since the last report

 * A couple of issues on spec-api have been fixed.
 * Site has been prepared and is being published.
 * Amber has been presented at latest Apache Retreat in UK, a couple of
people talked about possibly contributing OAuth v2.0 implementation.
 * Work being done on signature-api to fix RSA algorithm.


= Bluesky =

(BlueSky has been incubating since 01-12-2008. It is an e-learning solution
designed to help solve the disparity in availability of qualified education
between well-developed cities and poorer regions of China.

Current status of developing the next version of RealClass: * Learning QT
network API, and tried to encapsulate it into new class * Testing
Video/Audio/Screen encode/decode API of FFempeg, including sending and
receiving, this job had almost been done; * Making UI of new system, ongoing
next step:

* Finish message parse and socket plus encode/decode class before Dec 1st *
Finish UI design and commit UI code in 2 weeks


= Chukwa =

We're mostly marking time. We have a dependency on HBase, but their latest
version broke some things we rely on. Waiting for them to fix, (which they
are scheduled to do) pending a Chukwa release. People are still supplying

Correct. I didn't find an incubator notice/reminder that had been mailed to the 
project list. So, it's possible that they didn't get a reminder. I did ping 
their list over the weekend (Sunday?). 

In general, there is definitely activity there. There is the question of 
whether the community has the necessary oomph to graduate. The mentors have 
been trying to get the podling to decide what they want to do...
