Apache Isis - November 2012

Apache Isis graduated from the incubator last month (approved at the Oct
2012 board meeting).  This is the first of the monthly reports required for
three months post-graduation.


Project Description:

Apache Isis is a framework to enable the creation of software using
domain-driven design principles, being an implementation of the naked
objects architectural pattern


Membership:

Dan Haywood is the new PMC chair.  Those listed in the graduation
resolution [1] have been added to the PMC group.


Development:

No major development has occurred since last month, while we work with
infra to transition to a TLP.

The community has also voted to move from SVN to GIT.  We will be
working with infra to effect this change.

The community has also decided to transition to using the CMS website,
rather than the static Maven site currently supported.


Community Activity:

A presentation on RestfulObjects (a submodule of Isis) was made at J-Fall
2012 conference in the Netherlands [2]

At the same conference, an set of hands-on lab sessions were also run [3]

At ApacheConEU, a presentation was made on Apache Isis [4].

No new committers or contributors this month.


Infrastructure Changes:

The following post-graduation tasks were performed [5], [6]:
* New root aliases and groups
* New mailing lists have been established, subscribers moved over
* SVN code has moved out from under the incubator branch
* Begin setting up of new CMS-based website


Website:

Currently the old incubator site [7] is still live.  The replacement CMS
site
is being worked on.


Project Branding:

Still under the old incubator site.


Issues:

There are no outstanding issues requiring board attention.
