+2009-April 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 included adding support for using a database to track 
+virtual machine information, modifying code to work with Python 2.4, 
+integration with dynamic DHCP and DNS servers, and adding a "tidy" target to 
+check the source code.
+
+There have been a few questions on tashi-user@i.a.o that centered around 
+getting Tashi up and running.  Additionally, submissions on the dev list 
+included patches from a student at CMU, and some scripts from a non-committer 
+at Intel.  There is still a lot of work to be done in growing a community.
+
+Items to be resolved before graduation:
+	* Put more effort into project documentation so that other potential 
+	  contributors may more easily get involved
+        * Develop community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers)
+        * Prepare and review a release candidate
