[DRAFT] Apache Flex March 2014 Report
Hi Folks,
Below is a draft of the board report for March. Please read and comment.
Thanks,
-Alex
-------------
Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based
applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop.
RELEASES
-Apache Flex SDK 4.11.0 was released on 10/28/13.
-Voting is in progress for SDK 4.12.0
-Apache Flex Installer 2.7.0 was also released on 10/28/13.
-Voting is also in progress for Installer 3.0.0 which has the new
capability to use Ant script syntax to drive the install process.
ACTIVITY
Activity in Apache Flex continues to be in two main areas: improvements
To the existing Adobe Flash Platform-dependent code base, including the
releases listed above, and prototyping ways to create a version of Flex
that is independent from the Adobe Flash Platform. There is another group
working on Maven-related tools for the existing code base.
In the past three months we've seen:
- Continued JIRA activity (more bugs raised than resolved however)
- More committers becoming active again.
- Fewer new folks contributing and eventually becoming committers.
Other highlights:
-Over 70 bugs have been fixed in 4.12.0.
-Three committers will be giving presentations on Flex at ApacheCon 2014.
Code Donation Update
-FlexUnit was donated but has yet to be formulated into a release.
-Swiz donation is still pending. The donator has not filed the paperwork.
-BlazeDS donation paperwork was submitted but the code is not yet in the
repo because it was discovered that some pieces were missing. We hope to
get
the missing pieces soon. The missing pieces are stuck in IP review at
Adobe.
COMMUNITY
-One person who has been helpful on the mailing list and in JIRA was
invited as a committer and declined.
-No other candidates for new committer or promotions of committers to PMC
in this reporting period.
-Latest analytics include over 3000 hits per day on the website during the
work week (less on weekends).
-There were more than 10,000 installs of 4.11.0
since its release.
TRADEMARKS
-The new version of Flex is going to be called FlexJS. We have begun
associating the symbol with FlexJS per advice from trademarks@
INFRASTRUCTURE
* I'm still hoping to find time to resolve INFRA-4380 (attachments in old
Flex bugs).

Hi,
Might want to mention:
- 360 Flex conference
- There been a few other trademark issues resolved
- Potential Apache Flex book (but no publisher as yet)
- Flex example site (any progress on that?)
- There's been 14,000+ installs of 4.11 (4.10 had 11,000 install over a similar period)
- Seems more interest from users
- Slight decrease in activity and no of committers I'd say [1][2]
Thanks,
Justin

The "rule" is to always report your most recent releases so they can see
how long its been.

Alex,
Didn't we file a report in December? If that was the case, we probably
shouldn't mention the release from October.
Should we mention 360|Flex, as being an upcoming, dedicated conference to
the project?
