Board Report

[Hen <ba...@apache.org>]

FYI on the Board Report I just filed:

Some minor progress to report.

I've reviewed the emails over the last year and received valuable input from
Mark Struberg, David Blevins, and Mark Thomas.

I reached out to Mike Milinkovich and Paul Buck at Eclipse to determine the
current status of things.

My summary:

* There was a 2018-ish agreement on the Jakarta name signed by Mark Thomas.
* There was an invitation from Eclipse for Apache to join the Jakarta EE
  Working Group as a guest, with 2 agreements to sign.
* There was also IP moved from Oracle to Eclipse related to the JCP and a
  desire for Apache to sign something.
* There will be a big javax to jakarta package renaming coming down the
  pipeline.

On these, the invitation is still open (#2) and there is still interest from
Eclipse in completing their diligence (#3).

My current action items are to identify the documents to be signed in #2 and
confirm that these were approved for signing; and to identify the mechanism by
which copyright licensing flowed from the ASF to the JCP so I understand what
copyright's in various JSRs the ASF may be able to license.
