| Apache PDFBox is an open source Java library for working with |
| PDF documents. PDFBox entered incubation on February 7th, 2008. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The website has been set up. The license review is underway and |
| has already progressed quite far. The export control notification |
| has been set up. These tasks and most other tasks were all |
| performed by PDFBox mentors (mostly by Jukka Zitting). Sadly, |
| there has been almost no participation by the initial |
| committers, yet, except for handling the license grants and CLAs. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| On the user side, some questions don't seem to get answered. |
| Not many patches have reached us, either. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Issues before graduation: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Increase community size and activity</li> |
| <li>Finish license review</li> |
| <li>First Apache release</li> |

| Apache PDFBox is an open source Java library for working with |
| PDF documents. PDFBox entered incubation on February 7th, 2008. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| We have finally migrated all sources to Apache svn and set up |
| the project website at http://incubator.apache.org/pdfbox/. |
| We also set up a CI build using Hudson. Traffic is picking up |
| on the user and developer mailing lists, new issues are being |
| reported through Jira, and there is initial discussion about |
| an incubating 0.8.0 release. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Software Grants have been received from Ben Litchfield and |
| Daniel Wilson who are the primary authors of the PDFBox, FontBox |
| and JempBox software. There have been a lot of small |
| contributions (under the BSD license) by a number of other people |
| to the project and it was asked (see |
| http://markmail.org/message/zy6oweihmenqt6o4) on the legal-discuss |
| list whether the primary authors have "sufficient rights" to |
| grant a license for all of the code, or if we have to contact |
| all the other contributors for separate grants. Having received |
| no response to the question on legal-discuss we assumed that |
| software grants from the primary authors was sufficient. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| We're discussing about what to do with the FontBox and JempBox |
| codebases that are included as subprojects of PDFBox. We might |
| decide to merge them with similar efforts in other Apache |
| projects, most notably XML Graphics. |

| The contents of the issue trackers at SourceForge have been |
| migrated to Jira. We've also created a pdfbox-users mailing |
| list and plan to point people from the SourceForge support |
| forums to that list. The project sources have not yet been |
| migrated to Apache svn. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Issues before graduation: |
| </p> |

| <li>Increase community size and activity</li> |
| <li>Release once all licensing and export issues are resolved</li> |

| <p> |
| The basic project infrastructure (lists, svn, jira, etc.) is |
| already in place, and we are currently working on migrating |
| the source code and existing issues from SourceForge. We have |
| also requested a user mailing list to replace the current |
| help forums on SourceForge. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| PDFBox uses the Bouncy Castle crypto libraries for handling |
| encrypted PDF files. We will take care of export control issues |
| as we proceed with importing the PDFBox sources to Apache. |
