[REPORT] Apache Geronimo - October 2016

[Alan Cabrera <ad...@toolazydogs.com>]

## Description: 
Apache Geronimo is a JEE6 certified open source server runtime that integrates
the best open source projects to create Java/OSGi server runtimes that meet 
the needs of enterprise developers and system administrators.
   
## Issues: 
- We are concerned with the lack of community activity
- The inability to obtain a AL2.0 compatible JEE TCK pins Geronimo to JEE6
- CI/TCK setup has fallen into disrepair
   
## Ongoing Work - prepare for possible breakup and shuttering or downsizing:
- bring in any PMC members of sibling projects in Geronimo's JEE6 universe
- inventory any required interactions between individual specs
- inventory outstanding bugs in JEE6 specs and assess the amount of work 
  required
- inventory what are the outstanding security issues and assess the amount of 
  work required  (will likely need to remove distributions until fixes can be 
	put into place)
- inventory CI setup and assess the amount of work required
- inventory TCK setup and assess the amount of work required
