Title: Cayenne Incubation Status
This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general project status, look on the project website.
The Cayenne project graduated on 2006-12-20
Cayenne is an open source component-oriented persistence framework licensed under the Apache License, providing object-relational mapping (ORM) and remoting services. With a wealth of unique and powerful features, Cayenne can address a wide range of persistence needs. Cayenne seamlessly binds one or more database schemas directly to Java objects, managing atomic commit and rollbacks, SQL generation, joins, sequences, and more. With Cayenne's Remote Object Persistence, those Java objects can even be persisted out to clients via Web Services. Or, with native XML serialization, objects can be even further persisted to non-Java clients - such as an Ajax-capable browser. In addition to this existing functionality, Cayenne is currently building a JPA-compatible persistence provider (JSR-220). In 2001, Cayenne was started as an open source collaborative environment, modeled after ASF. Thus, proposing Cayenne as an ASF project is the logical next step to further expand the community and increase participation.

Add project specific tasks here.
These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.
Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? YES.
Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.) YES. All eight committers are independent of each other -- the Cayenne project originally began as an open source project before coming into the Incubator, so the committers have been independent from the beginning.
Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? YES.
Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?
