+2013-January Tashi Incubator Status Report
+
+Tashi has been incubating since September 2008.
+
+The Tashi project aims to build a software infrastructure for cloud 
+computing on massive internet-scale datasets (what we call Big Data). 
+The idea is to build a cluster management system that enables the Big 
+Data that are stored in a cluster/data center to be accessed, shared, 
+manipulated, and computed on by remote users in a convenient, efficient, 
+and safe manner.
+
+Tashi originally encompassed just the tools to manage virtual machines 
+using Xen and QEMU, but has been merged with Zoni, which manages the 
+physical aspects of a cluster like power control, network settings and 
+handing out physical machines.
+
+Activities from October to December:
+
+In the period from October to December, the project did not ask to make 
+another incubating release, but is ready to start the process for a new 
+release incorporating the development efforts of the last 6 months.
+
+This period was dedicated to testing and performance testing of the system.  Minor updates to the code include adding support for sub-domains within Tashi.  Also some bug fixes to the recently imported code from a collaborator.  Next efforts will be to more tightly integrate the physical and virtual aspects of the system as well as create a front end UI.
+
+
+The project has a user community, but it is small. Growth mostly has 
+happened by word of mouth. To show potential users at large the utility 
+of this project, the author of this report is creating web pages to 
+demonstrate how to accomplish distributed computing tasks. Base images 
+of (free) OS installs will be provided to allow new users to get started 
+quickly. Hopefully this will increase visibility of the project.
+
+Items to be resolved before graduation:
+	* Generate more publicity for the project.
+	* Develop members of the user community to submit feature
+	  extensions.
