+<section name="Apache Turbine Project Board Report, February 2008">
+
+<subsection name="Status">
+
+<p>There has been good progress towards resolving the outstanding ECCN issues
+ within the Turbine project. See below for details.</p>
+<p>The final tasks relating to Turbine becoming a TLP have finally been
+ completed - the mirrored downloads and archived releases have been moved from
+ jakarta to turbine directories.</p>
+<p>Other than this the Turbine project continues on with a fairly low level of
+ activity.</p>
+<p>The Turbine project has no board-level issues at this time.</p>
+
+</subsection>
+
+<subsection name="ECCN Status and activity">
+
+<p>While this issue has been highlighted by Bill for the current round of
+ reports, it has been on our radar for some time now.</p>
+<p>The following areas had the potential to require ECCN registration due to
+ their use of a "symmetric algorithm employing a key length exceeding 56 bits"
+ and/or because they "were designed to work with strong cryptographic
+ libraries":</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>fulcrum-crypto - used the cryptix library to implement Unix crypt()</li>
+  <li>The Crypto Service in Turbine Core, from which fulcrum-crypto was
+   extracted - also used the cryptix library</li>
+  <li>fulcrum-yaafi - supports decryption of strongly encrypted configuration
+   files</li>
+  <li>fulcrum-pbe - supports strong encryption/decryption of files</li>
+</ol>
+<p>In particular, the following actions have taken place:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>the cryptix dependency has been removed from fulcrum-crypto and Turbine
+   core's Crypto Service (replaced with
+   org.apache.jetspeed.services.security.ldap.UnixCrypt from the JetSpeed Portal
+   project).</li>
+  <li>the exposed interfaces and underlying implementation of fulcrum-yaafi and
+   fulcrum-pbe have been modified to ensure that only DES (56 bit key length)
+   can be used (strong encryption was never used but was available through the
+   exposed interfaces).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>It is our understanding that after our next release of the following
+ components, no aspects of the Apache Turbine project will require ECCN
+ registration:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>fulcrum-crypto-1.0.7 - ETA some time in the next few weeks</li>
+  <li>turbine-2.3.3 - ETA some time in the next month or so</li>
+  <li>fulcrum-yaafi-1.0.6 - ETA some time in the next few weeks</li>
+  <li>fulcrum-pbe-1.0.0 - Not yet a released component so no release required in
+   order to comply.</li>
+</ul>

+
+<subsection name="Turbine core project">
+
+<p>The Turbine Core trunk and turbine-site modules have been updated to ASL 2.0
+ - this was long overdue and is in preparation for a future release.</p>
+<p>The changes to fulcrum-crypto have been backported to the Crypto Service so
+ as to eliminate the ECCN registration requirement for Turbine core.</p>
+<p>We are working on releasing Turbine 2.3.3 - this has primarily been waiting
+ on the DB Project's Torque 3.3 release which is likely to appear in the next
+ couple of weeks.</p>
+<p>No beta or final releases were made since the last board report.</p>
