Description * Apache ActiveMQ is a popular and powerful open source messaging server. Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many cross language clients and protocols, comes with easy to use enterprise integration patterns and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1, J2EE 1.4, AMQP 1.0. Activity * Apache.NMS added a new provider implementation Apache.NMS.XMS for connecting to IBM WebSphere MQSeries. This was contributed by the user community, and based on the existing Apache.NMS provider implementation for TIBCO EMS. There are now eight NMS provider implementations. * ActiveMQ 5.x added several new features in version 5.13.0 * There is now support for automatic wire protocol detection (OpenWire, STOMP, MQTT, and AMQP) using the new auto transport. * Improved metrics as the broker now keeps track of the memory size of pending messages. * A pure Java API for runtime configuration changes to the broker. Previously only changes could be done in XML. * There is now support for dynamic network demand based on the existence of Virtual Consumers. * Support was added for sending scheduled message using message annotations when using AMQP. * The ability to dynamically shrink and regrow the store size at runtime based on available disk space.

- As the number and scope of the recent releases shows, there is a lot of
development occurring throughout all of the ActiveMQ products
- Many bugs are being raised, but they are being looked at fairly promptly
- There were a couple of bugs raised that resulted in good “cross team”
discussions as to whether the bug was, indeed, a bug or a desired change in
behavior
- While some of these discussions did hold up the creations of a patch
release (5.12.1), it was important for the team to reach a consensus on the
outcome and plans are starting to finish the release

*HornetQ IP clearance has been completed 100% **HornetQ code base migrated to ActiveMQ Artemis ***Eliminated all HornetQ references ***The code base is now 100% an ActiveMQ project *Discussion around development methodology differences between the 5.x code base and the ActiveMQ Artemis **Garnered fairly active participation from many committers **It did result in a good description of the commit then review process that was agreed upon on the mailing list which was then documented at http://s.apache.org/zD7 **There were also good discussions around code formatting setups to make working on the various codebases within ActiveMQ more consistent and easier to pull ideas and code back and forth *ActiveMQ Artemis code base is now receiving contributions from a wider scope of people (beyond just the original HornetQ contributors) **Long standing committers from the 5.x project are starting to contribute to ActiveMQ Artemis *Active collaboration between 5.x development and ActiveMQ Artemis development is now taking place **ActiveMQ 5.x features actively being migrated to Artemis ***Test framework from 5.x migrated ActiveMQ Artemis ***Migration of the MQTT protocol from 5.x to ActiveMQ Artemis **Also discussion is taking place to improve the the 5.x code base with regard multi-protocol detection on a single socket based on ideas from Artemis and Apollo *PMC is actively working toward diversifying the community by inviting more committers to the project **Christopher Shannon was added this month **Three others added since May 2015 *Artemis 1.0 was successfully released **Work is on-going for the 1.0.1 release *Back in the April report, one PMC member voiced the following concern: *"At least one member of the PMC, as well as several members of the community, feels strongly that disagreements and concerns are not getting addressed in a manner that will move the community toward consensus." **While this comment is true, the community member who was raising these concerns has gone silent * Initiated discussion to address past issues from some community members as instructed by the board ** Result so far is zero replies
There seem to be some issues in the PMC but not a lot of specifics have been surfaced. Hadrian Z, who had some issues with governance, has resigned from the PMC. Bruce Snyder is trying to get more details on the issues. The situation appears to be improving.

The PMC is ignoring requests from board members.
@Sam follow up with PMC.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Hiram Chirino to the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Hiram Chirino from the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache ActiveMQ project has chosen by vote to recommend Bruce Snyder as the Successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Hiram Chirino is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bruce Snyder be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7H, Change the Apache ActiveMQ Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
Apache ActiveMQ is a popular and powerful open source messaging
server. Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many Cross Language Clients
and Protocols, comes with easy to use Enterprise Integration Patterns
and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE
1.4.
Community:
* The development and user lists continue to stay active.
* Several ActiveMQ based presentation were given at Apachecon NA.
* The ActiveMQ community has voted to name the HortnetQ code donation
ActiveMQ Artemis.
* Apache board members requested a special report to address what the
plan is of the hornetq code donation. There were some specific
question what were directed at the PMC:
Q. Red Hat has a product, called HornetQ, which includes a website;
branding, etc. http://hornetq.jboss.org/
A. ActiveMQ PMC does not intend to use the HornetQ branding in any code,
docs or website. The code donation has been updated to remove such
references. The HornetQ open source project is now considered a legacy
project and the code is no longer maintained as the open source project
HornetQ. The ActiveMQ community is beginning to work together to
develop a plan to take the donated code base forward and to develop
community around this code base.
Q. The ActiveMQ PMC needs to deliver a plan for:
A. Apache ActiveMQ has multiple products with multiple versions:
a. ActiveMQ - (version 5.x.x)
b. ActiveMQ Artemis - (version 1.x.x)
This means that we are not yet ready to declare that
ActiveMQ Artemis is the successor to ActiveMQ 5.x. We will wait until
the product matures to make that decision.
Q. The current chair has been the chair for *many* years and based on the
current status and issues in the community, I would strongly
suggest having a plan for potentially replacing the chair of the project.
A. The PMC agrees.
* The PMC has voted to give the code donation a code name so that it
is not referred to as HornetQ anymore within ActiveMQ.
* IP clearance for the code donation is almost complete:
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/hornetq.html
* At least one member of the PMC, as well as several members of the
community, feels strongly that disagreements and concerns are not
getting addressed. They would rather have Artemis go through the
incubator.
* PMC is in discussions looking for ways to increase community diversity
* PMC has voted to appoint Bruce Snyder as the ActiveMQ PMC chair.
The PMC requests that the board approve the the following resolution:
----------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Hiram Chirino to
the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation
of Hiram Chirino from the office of Vice President, Apache
ActiveMQ, and
WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache ActiveMQ
project has chosen by vote to recommend Bruce Snyder as the Successor
to the post;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Hiram Chirino is
relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of
the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bruce Snyder be and hereby
is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache ActiveMQ, to
serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the
Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or
until a successor is appointed.

ActiveMQ has made two releases in the past month: * The ActiveMQ C++ Client (ActiveMQ CPP) has released version 2.0.1, a bugfix release. * The ActiveMQ CMS API 1.0 has been released. CMS is an implementation-independent API for messaging for C++, analogous to JMS for Java. The ActiveMQ CPP client implements this API for ActiveMQ. In addition to these releases, the Camel component, used for routing messages, has been moved out of the primary ActiveMQ server code tree into its own sub-project as it looks like it will have a release cycle independent of the the ActiveMQ server. The user and development lists remain very active, and things are going well.

ActiveMQ has had an active month: voting in a new committer, John Heitmann, and making two releases, ActiveMQ 4.1.1 - a bug fix release of the Java server and clients, and the ActiveMQ CPP Client 2.0.0 - a major release of the C++ client. A new component, Camel, has been initiated. Camel is a routing and mediation engine which allows for describing message routing rules for ActiveMQ, CXF, ServiceMix, and MINA. The developer and user communities remain very active. On a side note, a company, LogicBlaze, employing about a third of the ActiveMQ committers has been acquired by IONA. It is not expected that this will impact ActiveMQ directly, but as it affects a significant percentage of the contributors, bears mentioning.
Approved by General Consent.
In the last month ActiveMQ has prepared a bugfix release candidate for version 4.1.1. This release will primarily backport a number of fixes from trunk. We hope to complete a vote on the release shortly. There has been some discussion about creating separate areas in the site for the various non-Java clients. This would be something like sub-projects, but not really as the mailing lists and resources are still all shared. How to proceed with this has not yet been determined. Hiram Chirino completed a very nice site redesign, which has been deployed.

* Apache ActiveMQ graduated from the Incubator to a top level project in January. * The website, mailing lists, and subversion have all been moved to their new homes. Thank you very much to Joe Schaefer and Henri Yandell for their help with movig resources around! * We released version 1.1 of the ActiveMQ C++ client (ActiveMQ-CPP) in February. This release included API improvements and several important bugfixes. * We moved the ActiveMQ wiki onto ASF infrastructure. * Both the user and developer community continue to be very active.

The ActiveMQ community continues to grow as evidenced by the mailing list volumes. Each month mailing list volumes continues to grow. Last month we had 574 emails sent to the developer list and 905 email sent to the user list! We have also seen a big increase in the amount of patches and contributions submitted from non ActiveMQ committers. A large amount of development work and community interest has been around the Native clients used to access the Messaging broker. Tim Bish's excellent work on the STOMP c++ client has earned him an invitation to become an ActiveMQ committer. Amazon did a in house c++ client to ActiveMQ and that source code donation was accepted and committed to the source tree. All the source headers in the 2 active branches have be update to comply with the new policies outline at: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html. The Apache ActiveMQ 4.0.1 has successfully been released. For more information about the release, see: http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/activemq-401-release.html Development continues on the next 4.1 release. In tandem, the 4.0 branch has continued to stabilize and a 4.0.2 release should be ready shortly. The project has discussed graduating and feels that ActiveMQ is ready and would prefer to become a TLP. Once the 4.0.2 release is completed expect more serious discussions regarding graduation to pop up on the incubator mailing lists.
We have successfully released the 4.0-M4 milestone release of ActiveMQ and are actively seeking feedback on if ActiveMQ can leave the incubator.
The full status of incubation is at http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/ActiveMQ_Incubation. In summary we're most of the way through incubation now, things have been progressing very well; the code is clean and using only Apache-compliant libraries, it has the correct copyright notices and is in the org.apache.activemq namespace and is generally working well now. We've got the software grants sorted and most developers have their CLAs on file and accounts created (we've a few more to do once we know the CLAs are on file). We've voted on a milestone release which should go out soon once we've figured out the practicalities of doing an incuabtor milestone release. Our main outstanding issue now is creating the full website at Apache - which should be done in the next week or two - for now there is a simple home page.
