| # May 2017 Board report |
| - Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an |
| enterprise OSGi application programming model. |
| |
| - The PMC apologises for missing the April 2017 board report deadline and |
| offers this report to cover the period between the April board meeting |
| and now in addition to the months of the previous reporting period (mid |
| Jan to mid Apr). |
| |
| ## Issues: |
| |
| - One issue for the Board to consider is how to add new committers when |
| the PMC lead is not available, see below in committer base changes. |
| |
| ## Activity: |
| |
| - As a community we made 12 releases this quarter. |
| - Raymond Augé and Tom de Wolf have been voted in as new committers. |
| |
| ## Health report: |
| |
| - The PMC were requested by the board to consider if there are any |
| potential PMC candidates among the current committers. The PMC have |
| invited Dominik Przybysz and will continue to consider new PMC members. |
| - A new contribution of CDI integration has been donated by Raymond Augé. |
| - The dev@ list traffic is increasing, user@ traffic has been quite low. |
| - The dev@ mailing list seems to be the channel most people communicate |
| over. |
| |
| ## PMC changes: |
| |
| - Currently 37 PMC members. |
| - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months |
| - Last PMC addition was Christian Schneider on Fri Apr 10 2015 |
| - Dominik Przybysz has accepted an invitation and is in the process of |
| being added |
| |
| ## Committer base changes: |
| |
| - Currently 55 committers. |
| - New commmitters: |
| - Grzegorz Grzybek was added as a committer on Tue Feb 28 2017 |
| - Raymond Augé was added as a committer on Mon Apr 24 2017 |
| - Tom De Wolf was added as a committer on Wed May 03 2017 |
| - We voted Raymond Augé and Tom de Wolf in as committers, but it took |
| *some time* for Raymond (already a committer) to be added to the |
| committer group and for Tom's ID to be created while the PMC chair was |
| unavailable for 4 weeks. |
| |
| In retrospect, https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newcommitter |
| indicates Tom could have had his ID created in the absence of the Chair: |
| |
| "...ASF member can use the same form in his/her stead. .... If the ICLA |
| included the PMC name, normally the account will already have been set up |
| in the correct LDAP group that will grant access to the project source |
| repository." |
| |
| But Raymond, who already has an Apache ID, couldn't be added to the |
| aries unix group without an action by the Chair: |
| |
| "To grant or deny access to directories in SVN, the PMC chair needs to |
| update the appropriate [group] entry." |
| |
| This seems like an anomaly and we'll start a discussion to see what we |
| can do to resolve. |
