  Attachment P: Status report for the Apache OpenJPA Project

+Highlights
+
+OpenJPA has shipped a maintenance release, OpenJPA 1.0.1.
+
+There are no board issues at the moment.
+
+Community
+
+EasyBeans has integrated OpenJPA to provide JPA services. EasyBeans is
+an open source, lightweight and modular EJB3 container hosted by the
+OW2 consortium. http://www.ow2.org. EasyBeans is the EJB container
+of the JOnAS application server. http://jonas.objectweb.org.
+OpenJPA is the default persistence provider in some JOnAS packages.
+
+OpenJPA is experiencing a slowdown in email activity as the year end
+approaches. Happy New Year.
+
+The assumption is that this is a seasonal variance. An analysis will
+be made in one year's time.
+
+Several new contributors have uploded patches to JIRA issues.
+
+The community is working well together. Questions from the community
+are answered promptly, often resulting in a JIRA being filed.
+
+Governance
+
+There has been little traffic on the openjpa-private alias, reflecting
+the relative calm of the project.
+
+The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them
+committers, and committers PMC members.
+
+Releases
+
+OpenJPA 1.0.1 has shipped. The maintenance branch 1.0.x
+currently is tracking bugs fixed in the trunk and currently has a few
+patches. Once a need for another release is identified, a volunteer
+will be recruited to release the update while work goes on in the  
trunk.
