> 2008-April Status Report for the Apache OpenJPA Project
>
> Highlights
>
> OpenJPA has shipped another maintenance release, OpenJPA 1.0.2, and is
> planning a minor feature release, OpenJPA 1.1.0.
>
> The crypto web page was reviewed and OpenJPA does not fall into the
> category ECCN 5D002, and therefore needs no special export  
> classification.
>
> 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 continues to experience an increase in email subscriptions and
> activity. There are over 140 subscribers to both dev and users.
> The dev list currently logs approximately 300 messages per month;
> the users list around 250.
>
> 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.
>
> Marc Prud'hommeaux has resigned from the OpenJPA PMC. He was a strong
> community member and will be welcomed back when/if he returns.
>
> The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them
> committers, and committers PMC members.
>
> Releases
>
> OpenJPA 1.0.2 has shipped. The maintenance branch 1.0.x
> currently is tracking bugs fixed in the trunk and currently has a few
> patches.
>
> The need for a new release based on the trunk has been identified, and
> a volunteer will be recruited to release the update while work goes on
> in the trunk.
>
> It was brought to the attention of the PMC that the 1.0.2 release  
> was not
> properly signed before being distributed. Releases will be subject to
> a bit more oversight in future.
