Ditto for Nuvem. Almost exactly word-for-word. The only difference
is that they are talking to Apache Tuscany about becoming a
sub-project there.  There doesn't seem to be much to do except to
keep an eye on that conversation.

Thanks,

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Bloodhound 0.2 incubating Released

[Joachim Dreimann]

The Apache Bloodhound (Incubating) team is pleased to announce the
availability of the Apache Bloodhound 0.2-incubating release.

Apache Bloodhound is a project to provide a tool to track progress and
defects in projects, with a primary focus on software projects. Standing on
the shoulders of the well-known Trac project, it will provide issue
tracking, repository browsing and a simple wiki syntax for easy reference.
On top of this Bloodhound aims to provide intuitive support for managing
multiple software projects, an advanced user-friendly interface and simple
installation with some of the most important plugins for Trac available by
default.

This is mostly a bugfix release, however the release notes can be viewed at
the link below: [1]

The release can be downloaded from *
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/bloodhound/apache-bloodhound-incubating-0.2.tar.gz
*

For further information on Apache Bloodhound, please visit the project
website at 
http://incubator.apache.org/**bloodhound/

The Apache Bloodhound Team.

Disclaimer:
Apache Bloodhound is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required
of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.  While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
the ASF.

[RESULT] Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Bloodhound 0.2 (incubating)

[Joachim Dreimann]

Hi all,

and with this we've got a result!

With Brane repeating his IPMC binding vote from bloodhound-dev and Greg and
Hyrum adding their voices here, the results are:

   Greg Stein (binding) +1
   Hyrum Wright (binding) +1
   Branko Čibej (binding) +1

With 3 +1s I understand that release of Apache Bloodhound 0.2 (incubating)
is approved. I will complete the process by moving the artefacts from
Bloodhound's /dist/dev area to the equivalent /dist/release area this
evening.

Thanks to all those who took part.

Cheers,
   Joe

[Shepherd] Amber

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

I've added the following to the November report wiki:

I think that Amber is ready to graduate - the traffic on the ML is down but 
indicates that some might use Amber if it were a TLP. I see starts to the 
process, I think that the mentors just need to give the podling some nudges. 
Some status updates to the mentor lists and sign-offs are in order as well.

I put Amber in the "Ready to Graduate" category. If the podling doesn't move 
then it could also be put into "Low Activity" and that would not bode well for 
the future.

Regards,
Dave

 Hi there,

 I'm working to something[1] (not yet fully open source released) which
 could somehow overlap with Streams.
 I'm also one of the authors of the Activity Streams Ontology[2] which
 is the rdf-ish version of activitystrea.ms.

 I'll be really happy to contribute on Streams.

Re: [VOTE] Release JSPWiki version 2.9.0-incubating

[Alexei Fedotov]

Hello Juan,

According to your answers, I suggest the following (IMHO, not binding anyway)
1) remove licenses for files which are not included into the source
release (this actually means the source release license file should be
different from the binary release one);
2) remove the second copy for any LICENSE (the one under doc/);
3) for the binary release, make the artifact list complete, so it
would contain the reference to Mozilla licensed file and other missed
entities.

Hi Davide,

You will need to create a wiki account and thereafter request write access here.
For your convenience I've already added your name to the initial committers 
section of the proposal.


If your are participating on behalf of a employer, please let us know so we can 
add that to the affiliation section of the proposal as well.


Kind regards,

Ate

Apache Streams Proposal

== Abstract ==

Apache Streams will be a lightweight server for ActivityStreams. The role
of Apache Streams is to provide a central point of aggregation, filtering
and querying for Activities that have been submitted by disparate systems.
  Apache Streams also intends to include a mechanism for intelligent
filtering and recommendation to reduce the noise to end users.

== Proposal ==

Apache Streams will bring together individuals who are or are looking to
increase and centralize the production, consumption and federation of
ActivityStreams throughout enterprise organizations and the Internet as a
whole.  The target features include:

  * Publication of Activities from multiple systems via HTTP
  * Aggregation and syndication of streams
  * Support for security trimming of streams by social graph
  * Noise reduction and intelligent filtering
  * Federation of streams across disparate systems
  * Provide libraries for easy integration in source systems

== Background ==

The ActivityStreams specification standardizes a generic format for
describing event-based data.  Many social web companies have adopted the
format and it has been included in the OpenSocial specification as the
preferred method for delivery of activity data.  During discussions of
ActivityStreams at OpenSocial events earlier in the year, it became clear
that multiple organizations are facing similar issues as to the
publication and filtering of their activities and would benefit from a
commonly-developed, open-source ActivityStreams server.

== Rationale ==

In deployment, activities are generated from multiple sources.  This is
particularly true within the enterprise where disparate systems create and
manage activities in stove pipes.  What is needed is a central point for
consumption, aggregation and exposure of activities generated within these
systems.

== Initial Goals ==

The initial goal of the project is to survey donated code and develop a
common, high-level architecture for an initial release.  The project will
then work toward that release in a new code base, pulling in pieces of
donated code as necessary.

== Current Status ==

The MITRE Corporation will donate its prototype code to the project.
Aside from this, the project is new and will need bootstrap time to
develop an initial architecture and roadmap.

 Meritocracy 

As a new project with many team members who are seasoned Apache

veterans,

Apache Streams is prepared to build the project under the Apache Way.

 Community 

The Apache Streams community combines multiple individuals from

different

organizations, many of which have collaborated before in an open
environment.  Apache Streams is committed to expanding this community

and

adhering to Apache principles of openness and collaboration.

== Known Risks ==

An exercise in self-knowledge. Risks don't mean that a project is
unacceptable. If they are recognized and noted then they can be addressed
during incubation.

 Inexperience with Open Source 

Most of the initial committers have worked in open source and many are
familiar with the ASF and the Apache Way; but, not all.  Additionally,
many of the c
