[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Gump Wiki" for change notification.

The "Drafts/BoardReports/20180321" page has been changed by StefanBodewig:
https://wiki.apache.org/gump/Drafts/BoardReports/20180321

New page:
Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server.  Gump's intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the projects to collaborate.

Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version control systems.  The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as non-ASF projects and their dependencies.  It started in the Java part of the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and XMLUnit.NET.

== Summary ==
Two of the projects who still get notified by Guno build failures indicated they still get useful results out of Gump, two others indicated they no longer want to receive notifications.

No other changes compared to the last quarter.

== Releases ==
Gump has never done any releases.  One reason for this is that the ASF installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the time following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy.

== Activity ==
The Apache POI project opted out of Gump.

We asked the five remaining projects who still would receive notifications of build failures whether Gump was still useful for them. The Apache Tomcat and Apache Forrest projects indicated they really take value from it, while the XML Graphics Commons project told us they'd no longer need Gump (and we've disabled notifications for them).

== Changes to the Roster ==
All ASF committers have write access to the metadata that configure the ASF installations.

The last changes to the PMC have seen Konstantin Kolinko and Mark Thomas join in November 2014.
