Jakarta board Report February
Jakarta Board Report Status This board report was mainly constructed by other people than me, which is a big improvement (thanks everyone). I also moved the board report to a fixed location on the wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/JakartaBoardReport-current), so it's easier to locate for people. The code grant for the not yet commons SSL (formerly named commons-ssl), has been completed, so we can progress to having a vote where SSL should end up on general and based on that result take the correct incubator path (legal / full incubation). What is not completely clear for me at this point, is the board report schedule. An extra report was requested (lack of commons projects in the report). Reporting next month again will be a lot of work, since my goal is to report on every subproject (even if there is no or hardly any activity). Inactive projects Disclaimer : we have lot's of active projects ! Definition list : Inactive project = a project that has no *developer* community. The Apache Way : To become committer on a project you have to earn that right, you have to stand out, submit patches, show you care, learn the apache way and have to get noticed by the current committers who can nominate such a person. Problem : If that didn't happen enough in the past, it can happen that at a certain point no developer community is active anymore. Which causes : A catch22 situation. Since there is no developer community, no one is able to determine if people deserve to become a committer. Even if you are monitoring such a list (such as I do for all Jakarta lists), it is hard to determine if people deserve committership. Solution : The only thing we know for sure : inactive projects needs someone to mentor the project to become active again. This goes for all possible scenario's : 1. Actively support forks and when they show they are capable to work on the project, get the code back (needs mentoring, grants, etc) 2. More liberal in getting committers on board 3. Actively following the user / dev lists and issue trackers to see if there is someone ready for committer ship. (is the normal way, although the focus here is not if patches etc are technically correct) I like to prevent Jakarta becoming some kind of collection with inactive project, so the first goal is preventing that this scenario occurs on our current subprojects where possible. So I would like to ask the current active developers to invest a little bit more time in looking what others are doing. I think this discussion is also useful to have on the incubator list.

If there are gaps, I will try to fill the void by finding volunteers. This way we prevent that lists aren't moderated.

Afaik Findbugs and AspectJ have forks. BSF MvdB : They are currently planning for a 3.0 release and for jsr223 they are investigating to get the TCK. Geir is in the process of arranging things. Cactus MvdB : Cactus development was stalled and recently Petar Tahchiev sent a mail to the list, saying he had continued development of cactus on https://mamouth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mamouth. I (=Martin van den Bemt) am currently in the process of informing Petar on what actions to take (eg Code Grants/CLA/CCLA) to move development back to the cactus project. When the paperwork is there, we will run the code base through the incubator (at a minimum legal). Commons Switching from Maven-1 to Maven-2 gets closer - we can now build the website from Maven-2. Next we need to look at how we would do a release under Maven-2 and whether it passes our requirements. Key: * Inactive - No activity, no one watching it. Candidate for dormancy. * Maintenance - No activity, someone watching it. There are thirty-two components in the Commons 'Proper', that is the released components. Attributes Inactive - however the last release had an issue so a new release ideally needs to be done. BeanUtils Maintenance. A 1.8.0 release is slowly being worked on. Struts were a major user, however they've moved on to using OGNL in

introducing new tool
I'd like to introduce to this forum a new developing tool for the Java community. It's called JTC and its purpose is to enable web-based application to be managed by remote unix command-line by revealing API layer of the java application in the linux command line. So it it concentrate in connecting between Java application and Unix/Linux users who prefer to use Command-line instead of graphic GUI. the project and information about it is available in SourceForge repository at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtc-tool/ feel free to add comments in the forum of this project and you will be answered shortly Guy - Don't be flakey.
