XMLBeans quarterly report to board

[Cliff Schmidt <cl...@gmail.com>]

Here's the report I will be making to the board for this quarter:

----

XMLBeans Status report for January-March 2006

1. Added Lawrence Jones as an XMLBeans committer.

2. No new major development lately -- mainly bug fixes lately to the
2.1 release.  Should be releasing a 2.1.1 in next quarter.

3. Related to #2 above, there has recently been a drop in traffic on
the dev list (other than lots of jira activity).  However, the user
list is stronger than ever.

4. xmlbeanscxx folks are slowly getting started.

5. I'm thinking it's about time I step down as XMLBeans PMC chair. 
I'm not actively involved in the project, but have been doing my best
to handle chair responsibilities.  I think the project would benefit
from having an active committer take my place, while I stay on as a
PMC member.

-----

I hope there's at least one PMC member out there who might be willing
to be nominated to take over chairing this project.  I've been doing
it from its inception -- someone else's turn.

It's ultimately up to the ASF Board to appoint someone (usually based
on a vote of the PMC), but for those interested, here are the folks on
PMC today who would be eligible:

    Cezar Andrei <cezar> [2004/06/23]
    Ken Kress <kkress> [2004/06/23]
    Ted Leung <twl> (*) [2004/06/23]
    Radu Preotiuc-Pietro <radup> [2005/09/02]
    Dutta Satadip <dutta> [2004/06/23]
    Cliff Schmidt <cliffs> (*) (chair) [2004/06/23]
    Davanum Srinivas <dims> (*) [2004/06/23]
    Eric Vasilik <ericvas> [2004/06/23]
    David Waite <dwaite> [2004/06/23]
