+2010-July Tashi Incubator Status Report
+
+Tashi has been incubating since September 2008.
+
+The Tashi project aims to build a software infrastructure for cloud computing 
+on massive internet-scale datasets (what we call Big Data). The idea is to 
+build a cluster management system that enables the Big Data that are stored in 
+a cluster/data center to be accessed, shared, manipulated, and computed on by 
+remote users in a convenient, efficient, and safe manner.
+
+Tashi has previously encompassed just the tools to manage virtual
+machines using Xen and KVM, but is gaining the facility to hand out
+physical machines as well.
+
+Development activities have included fixes to conform to new python
+programming standards, support for VHD virtual disks in Xen, configurable
+vlan bridge templates for Xen, along with expansion of documentation.
+
+The project is still working toward building a larger user and development 
+community. User groups have been identified in Ireland and Korea, and
+the developers are trying to reach out to them.
+
+Items to be resolved before graduation:
+        * Prepare and review a release candidate
+        * Develop community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers)
