| Title: October 2009 |
| Aries will deliver a set of pluggable Java components enabling an |
| enterprise OSGi application programming model. |
| |
| Aries entered incubation on September 22, 2009. This is our first board |
| report. |
| |
| There are currently no issues requiring IPMC or Board attention . |
| |
| All infra resources have been set up (svn / site / mailing lists) very |
| quickly. |
| The svn area has been organized with a single trunk for now, though we |
| still need to settle the discussion about components lifecycle and the svn |
| layout. |
| IBM has contributed some code that has been imported into svn and the JNDI |
| modules have already been imported into trunk. Both Geronimo contribution |
| (OSGi Blueprint Services) and ServiceMix contribution (OSGi Transaction |
| Manager) have been imported into trunk. |
| |
| On the community side, we've already voted 3 additional committers (Adam |
| Wojtuniak, Alan Keane and Niclas Hedhman) who had expressed their interest |
| in joining the project just after the acceptance vote on the proposal was |
| launched. |
| |
| There is a lot of discussions and activity on the mailing lists. |
| |
| Top 2 or 3 things to resolve before graduation: |
| * Build community |
| * Create a release |
| * Address project scope concerns raised during acceptance vote |
