+2011-October 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:-
+	* Zoni has been merged into the mainline code trunk
+
+The project is still working toward building a larger user and development 
+community. User groups have been identified in Ireland, Slovenia and Korea,
+Malaysia, as well as at Georgia Tech.
+
+Items to be resolved before graduation:
+	* A stable branch exists which could be a release candidate, but
+          the codebase is large and test hardware is currently in
+	  short supply. We are confident that the code in the stablefix
+	  branch will work if running QEMU emulation, Pickle or sqlite
+	  data storage, primitive scheduler. Xen, other data stores and
+	  schedulers have not been tested recently.
+	* Should have example accounting code
+	* Develop community diversity (Committers currently at Telefonica,
+          Google and CMU)
