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).
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.
