OpenJPA status report for the Apache Board

[Craig L Russell <Cr...@Sun.COM>]

This is the OpenJPA status report for the board for the three month  
period ending Mar 2007.

=== OpenJPA ===

OpenJPA made good progress this quarter in all areas. The project has  
many active committers all driving toward improving functionality,  
stability, performance, and usability.

OpenJPA has met all of the technical requirements for graduation from  
incubation, and is now waiting for the community to feel ready. It is  
not clear whether the destination should be a TLP or a sub-project of  
another. This discussion has not been started yet. Well, I guess it  
just has.

Development

Development continues on the 0.9.7 release, which will contain many  
bug fixes and performance improvements. Kevin Sutter has been  
volunteered to cut the release once we decide there is enough done on  
the list.

The JSR 220 TCK was passed.

JIRA now contains numerous proposed bug fixes and feature  
enhancements, tentatively assigned to release buckets.

Infrastructure

The project is running smoothly with all systems green.

Community

One new committer was added (Michael Dick).

Three new PPMC members were added (Kevin Sutter, Marc Prud'hommeaux,  
and Abe White).

Craig...

I wanted to take a minute and thank you personally for putting this 
report together.  I've been fairly absent from the project for the last 
month or two (company I was at shut its doors so I had to start a new 
gig and I'm finishing my basement at the same time), and would like to 
ramp up on it a bit more as time allows.  At any rate, these types of 
things are not trivial and definitely not glorious work, so thanks for 
taking the time to throw it together.
