 Projects listed in alphabetical order.
 
-PMC Report
+Overall
 ----------
 
 * The Logging Services PMC continues to track projects under incubation: 
   log4net, log4php.
+
+* Mark Womack resigned as PMC chair and Curt Arnold was appointed by the Board
+  after nomination by the PMC to assume the office.
+  
+* There has been some recent discussion on a recurring topic of logging for Javascript.
+  There are several log4j-like Javascript implementations in the wild and the
+  authors of at least one of them has expressed an interest in contributing to 
+  an ASF effort in that space.  The next step would be to attempt to gather a
+  Javascript logging interest group to decide what, if anything, that would be beneficial
+  for Logging Services to do in that space.
   
+* Logging Services is currently structured as a "umbrella" project.  There was
+  some discussion long time ago about modifying the bylaws of the project so that
+  it is a single project with multiple products and I expect to reraise the issue
+  shortly.
 
 log4cxx Report
 --------------
 
+* An initial ASF release of log4cxx is long overdue.  There only some minor bug
+  fixes this quarter and there still needs to be a coordinated sprint to address
+  the few remaining issues that have been blocking a release.  The user community
+  remains healthy, but development has been resource starved.
+
 
 log4j Report
 ------------
 
-
+* A log4j 1.2.14 release candidate is expected shortly.  The consensus had been to
+  end the log4j 1.2 version with log4j 1.2.13, however there have been several
+  significant concurrency issues repeated encountered by the user community
+  and fixed in the SVN that should justify reconsidering that decision.
+  
+* A log4j 1.3 alpha 9 release is also expected shortly.  Several binary compatibility
+  issues with log4j 1.2 have been resolved since the last release.  A contributed alternative
+  set of appenders that address some reentrancy and concurrency issues were moved
+  from the sandbox to the trunk for wider distribution and feedback.

 log4net Report

 * Work continues on the next point release containing minor bug fixes. We 
   are evaluating several enhancements that take advantage of the new

 * We have an open ended discussion on the use and storage of strong name 
   assembly signing keys. This may need further discussion at wider level, 
   and probably requires some sort of consensus amongst all the .NET projects.

 log4php Report
 --------------
 
-* TODO
+* No report available from log4php committers in time for this report.  The mailing
