Gump PMC Report

[Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org>]

During the past month, Gump has been quite successful in various areas.

With a lot of help from members of the Avalon community we've finally
been able to build most of Avalon and thus the projects that depend on
Avalon like Cocoon. Cocoon itself is the next "big thing" to tackle.

The Gump PMC has elected Sam Ruby as a new member.

We've created our own bylaws, see http://gump.apache.org/bylaws.html

The new hardware has arrived and we've been happy playing with
it. Gump ran on FreeBSD (probably for the first time ever) and quickly
uncovered a platform specific problem in one of the projects we build.

There are various design and coding efforts going on with goals
ranging from a quicker turn-around time for small tests - that can be
used to determine the reasons for build failures - over historic
databases of build results to automatic detection of "who is
responsible for a build failure" ("who" is a project, not a person
here).

Mailing list, cvs, wiki, and other actvity are on the rise. Though no
hard data is available, gump is growing rapidly, and the "state of the
gump tree" (the success gump has in building projects against each
other) is steadily improving.

Currently our success rate[1] is 75.34% with 592 projects.
