Incubator PMC/Board report for Mar 2014 ([ppmc])
Dear podling,
This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.
The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 19 March 2014, 10:30:30:00 PST. The report
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC
requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow
sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Mar 5th).
Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.
Thanks,
The Apache Incubator PMC
Submitting your Report
----------------------
Your report should contain the following:
* Your project name
* A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project
or necessarily of its field
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
* How has the community developed since the last report
* How has the project developed since the last report.
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2014
Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is
created from a template.

Thanks,
Without commercial companies adopting it the way e.g. Cordova/PhoneGap is
used, your assessment is quite true and we may not succeed in graduating
any time soon[?]
I'll do my best in presenting it to JavaLand (despite some hefty
competition at least on the pure JavaEE front with Arun Gupta talking about
JavaEE7)
One has to say, that while there probably aren't more than 1 or 2 people
now updating it every 1 or 2 months, OpenDDR is still doing quite well.
A regular merge can't hurt, but at GitHub alone you'll find a growing
selection of projects and languages like PHP, C# or even Lisp(!)
or
https://github.com/altocon/tapestry-devicedetection
I don't know, how alive Tapestry 5 itself is despite once having graduated,
but what e.g. Agorava managed to attract in the last 1 1/2 years, alternate
UI frameworks from (Apache) Wicket to new environments like AngularJS
trying to use it, we'd have to find interest for DeviceMap, too, otherwise
OpenDDR even at relatively small pace will remain the most succesful Open
Source DDR implementation and this project may go to sleep[?]
Cheers,
Werner

No - we missed the last report which I sent here in draft form earlier
[1] but didn't commit, that should go to
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2014 if people agree with its

Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information,
images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices,
e.g. smartphones and tablets. While the focus is initially on that
data, APIs will also be created to use and manage it.
DeviceMap has been incubating since 2012-01-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make a release 2. Get more contributors 3. Grow the community
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
DeviceMap's activity is very low and has actually gone down in the
last few months.
The next step is probably for the podling to consider whether it can
reasonably expect to grow a community and get more active, or whether
it's not active enough to graduate as an Apache project.
How has the community developed since the last report?
No changes.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Minimal changes only.
Date of last release:
None yet.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
May 2013
