Comment:
Report log4cxx2.

  
  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  
+   1. Create a release
+   2. Activate some community
-   1.
+   3.
-   2.
-   3.
  
  Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
  aware of?
  
+   There was a discussion in the first quarter of the year to move the
+   project to attic unless it is able to release in the next few months. No
+   release happened since then.
  
+   There was a discussion about some kind of "maintenance mode" where releases
+   and community growth doesn't matter much. As that mode doesn't exist, it has
+   been suggested to release, graduate from incubator and just live along other
+   logging projects and in a comparable state like log4cxx.
  
- How has the community developed since the last report?
+   Currently it seems that there's only one official project member with commit
+   access left answering mails. Even though that member and some contributors
+   worked on being able to create a release in the past, contrary to
+   expectations that project member didn't find the time to deal with a release
+   as necessary.
  
+   It seems most likely that if a release doesn't happen until the next report
+   is due, it won't at all anymore. At least not by that one left member.

- Date of last release:
+   Robert Middleton took quite some time to look at the build and release
+   process on Windows and Linux in the last two months and came to the
+   conclusion that the current Maven based process for both seems broken.
+   He provided a shell based alternative for the release and CMAKE build
+   starting points, which hasn't been merged into or tested by the project
+   yet.

- The project completed it's first release, 0.1.0-incubating, since the last report and provided a release guide on its website documenting the process. Additionally, the project has ensured that all dependencies are compliant with the Apache License version 2.0 and that all code and documentation artifacts have the correct Apache licensing markings and notice. The project has also undertaken a refactor of some of the initial packages and provided initial streaming implementations.
