please reply with status items for Board report

Hi,

Believe it or not, 3 months have flown by and it's time for another Board report.

Please reply to this note with any input for that, by this coming Thursday, 9 June.

Thanks.  -Marshall

Thanks to everyone for their input.  I've shortened the changes somewhat
(remember the board has lots of stuff to read).   Here's the new version; we can
still "improve" it if needed....



Board report for Apache UIMA, for June 2011.

Apache UIMA's mission: the creation and maintenance of open-source
software related to the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the
UIMA Oasis Standard.

Releases:
Since last report, UIMA-AS Released
(http://uima.apache.org/news.html#22 March 2011).

Development:
UIMA CAS Editor is being improved and extended with inputs from several
active users. A new Eclipse plugin was done that supports easy launching
of UIMA Analysis Engines from within Eclipse.

The set of add-ons is being released soon (on 2nd release candidate as of now).

A user has set up a French language portal to all things UIMA, and
contributed a French language models for the Hidden Markov Model (HMM)
Tagger annotator, and generally improved that annotator.
 
Another user contributed fixes to URL usage.

Community:
Two users have been busy submitting patches, some of which haven't been
acted upon yet (we have a backlog).  One new user who has expressed an
interest in helping out, has also started contributing patches.
 
Issues: No Board level issues at this time

Trademarks/Branding: all of our web pages have the right footers. 
We changed the first occurrence of the use of trademark at the
beginning to be a modifier of a generic class noun, per recent guidance.

Or, even better, it might be worth adding these to the External Resources page
:-). 

The board doesn't particularly want to see all details like this (I think), but
thanks for the reminder to add these.

I'm not on the board, but I would like to mention a few things that could go into the report.

- I guess you should mention Nicolas contribution of the French models as well.

- There are also patches contributed by Nicolas to the HMM Tagger
-- UIMA-2146: Donation of French data models for the Apache UIMA Sandbox HMM Tagger
-- UIMA-2106: Handling tokens not present in the language model (and also with no suffix present in the model) causes a null pointer exception in the tagger process
-- UIMA-2110: Turn the HMMTagger class into a more generic class for tagging tasks  

- As a matter of fact, I have also submitted a patch and have interest in contributing, but didn't make it as explicit on the list
-- UIMA-1080: [Patch] Wrong usage of URL in XmiWriterCasConsumer
-- UIMA-2102: Make ResourceManager_impl.ResourceRegistration protected (there is no patch attached here because the change is so trivial "private" -> "protected" and done.)

- Nicolas and I have both expressed interest that our community projects (uima-fr.org and http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/software/dkpro/) could be added to the Apache UIMA External Resources page. That might also be worth a mention.

This was reported in last quarters report where we said:

Development:
Got Continuous Integration going for UIMAJ and UIMA-AS using Hudson.
Got Sonar reporting going for UIMAJ.

I could add that the add-ons was added to CI.

Another thing that might be worth mentioning is that UIMA is now using the Apache CI facilities.

New eclipse plugin to launch UIMA Analysis Engines inside eclipse. The 
plugin makes the
development of AEs easier since they can now be run without writing

Here's the board report; I'll submit soon to the board, so let me know right
away of any changes.

software related to the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the
UIMA Oasis Standard.

Releases:
Since last report, UIMA-AS Released
(http://uima.apache.org/news.html#22 March 2011).

Development:
UIMA CAS Editor is being improved and extended with inputs from several active
