[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/20151216" page has been changed by StefanBodewig:
https://wiki.apache.org/gump/Drafts/BoardReports/20151216

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 ==
No development activity, Gump seems to create useful results for the few projects that use it.

== 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 projects that use Gump have occasionally modified their respective configuration files.  No other activity.

=== Mailing-List Statistics ===

general@gump.apache.org:
48 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months) 89 emails sent to list (63 in previous quarter)

== 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.
