April 2010 OpenJPA board report

[Craig L Russell <cr...@oracle.com>]

2010-April Status Report for the Apache OpenJPA Project

Highlights

OpenJPA is preparing to publish its implementation of the latest JPA 2.0
JSR-317, which is in final release status. The OpenJPA release is 2.0.0.
There were some last minute changes that will require another spin of  
the
release. So the release will probably occur the week of the board  
meeting.

Community

Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to  
350
messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 200 messages per
month on the users alias.

OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email  
subscriptions and
activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users.

OpenJPA voted in two new committers, Dianne Richards and Ravi  
Palacherla.

Governance

The OpenJPA PMC voted in a new member, Rick Curtis.

We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and  
committers
for PMC members.

Releases

Several milestones of OpenJPA 2.0.0 have been released.
