Preparation of board report
Hi all,
Time to prepare a report for the board meeting that will be held on 18th
(next week).
Here are the items I found to be noteworthy since last report in May:
Community:
- Cocoon version 2.1.5 released in May: bugfix release with minor new
features
- Lenya version 1.2 released in June
- no new committer on Cocoon, one new committer on Lenya
- Lenya proposed as a top-level project
- PMC composition change: new chair, some new members and some resignations.
Infrastructure:
- moved to subversion
- cocoondev.org wiki moved to ASF wiki
Ongoing research work :
- Javaflow (implementation of continuations in Java), which triggered
the creation of a group to propose a JSR
- the "Kernel", a container for Cocoon blocks,
- "Butterfly", an experimentation to use Spring as a component container
instead of Avalon
Misc:
- Important new live sites with VNU UK moving to Cocoon (high-traffic
sites which where sucessfully slashdotted)
What else did I missed ?

Ah OK, I was just starting to wonder why there was just one list for
all of Apache's PMCs ;-).

pmc-subscribe@cocoon.apache.org should do the job...

Well, you just have to subscribe to pmc@apache.org. The board was
notified about you and Tony joining the PMC on june 13th.

I assume my (and Tony's) request to join the PMC was accepted, but I got
no formal notice. Is there something we should know? Mailing list
subscriptions or such...

Exactly. I am the messenger between Cocoon and the board, and although I
have some good ideas of what has to be said, I want you all to be able
to bring in concerns that I may have missed or badly expressed.
Now about the detailed contents, I know the report's primary purpose is
to notify the board about problems, but I think a short description of
the good things that happened is important also, so that the board
doesn't receive only bad news ;-)
> Keep up great job, Sylvain :-)
Thanks!

It's not technically true, as the chair is nominated by the board, and
can be replaced only by the board. The vote taken here for a chair is
only for a hint to the board, that could decide otherwise. IIRC the
board has already done so at least in one case.

Also remember that chair is chosen by community, and if chair goes
against community will, he will get replaced by community :-)
So, community should take part in creating report, and chair should take
leading role (and RFC on report's draft).
Keep up great job, Sylvain :-)

The main thing is whether there are any issues that need
to brought to the attention of the board (community issues,
legal problems, PMC changes, etc.). The technical progress
of the project is less important. Nicola Ken directed me
to this, which helps a bit:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/chair.html#Making+the+Board+Report
Also remember that it is the chair's report to the board,
so you don't need agreement from us about what you tell them.
