+2009-July Tashi Incubator Status Report
+
+Tashi has been incubating since September 2008.
+
+The Tashi project aims to build a software infrastructure for cloud computing 
+on massive internet-scale datasets (what we call Big Data). The idea is to 
+build a cluster management system that enables the Big Data that are stored in 
+a cluster/data center to be accessed, shared, manipulated, and computed on by 
+remote users in a convenient, efficient, and safe manner.
+
+Development activities have included adding a locality and layout service, 
+integrating metrics into ganglia for monitoring, more complicated network 
+isolation support, and preliminary code for the purpose of communicating with
+Maui, a cluster scheduler.  Additionally, the documentation has been enhanced 
+on the project webpage.
+
+The project is still struggling to grow a substantial user community, but there 
+are several active contributors.  We are looking forward to the opportunity to 
+present our work with PRS and Hadoop at SC'09 [1].
+
+Items to be resolved before graduation:
+        * Prepare and review a release candidate
+        * Develop community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers)
