Gump Board Report Q4 2014

[Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org>]

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 ==

During this quarter we've added two new PMC members.

Gump seems to create useful results for the few projects that use it.
The FOP community has decided they no longer need the service provided
by Gump.

== 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 Gump builds have been updated to run on Java8 which causes a few
builds to break (like the one of Google Guava) and forced us to
replace dependencies with pre-packaged binaries in two cases.


== Changes to the Roster ==

All ASF committers have write access to the metadata that configure
the ASF installations.

Konstantin Kolinko and Mark Thomas joined the Gump PMC.
