## Description: Apache Aries software is a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ## Issues: The only issue is not very signification and relates to the migration away from ASF CMS toward an Antora based site. While progress is slow, a recent report from the member working on this indicated that progress was being made. Since this is a volunteer, best effort, that's to be expected. ## Membership Data: Apache Aries was founded 2010-12-14 (10 years ago) There are currently 58 committers and 41 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Carlos Sierra Andrés on 2018-07-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Romain Manni-Bucau on 2020-01-29. ## Project Activity: Most activity has taken place in 3 projects, cdi, spifly over the last quarter, and most recently in jax-rs-whiteboard. There are more plans for even further activity on jax-rs-whiteboard and a couple of new integrations with it are being conceived. Of course the site migration away from AFS CMS is still in progress and we recently got an update that, while slowly, this is progressing. It should be noted that Aries does contain many widely used and highly stable components that, while they do not provide much activity, issues for them are important and are most often immediately addressed; Aries Blueprint, Aries Proxy, Aries SPI Fly to name just a few. ## Community Health: Community engagement seems to at least be stable while trending toward a slight improvement. However participation is still rather low. Hoping that new releases and a new site can inspire a little more activity.
## Description: Apache Aries software is a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ## Issues: - the project is blocked in migration from Apache CMS - no other issues exist ## Membership Data: Apache Aries was founded 2010-12-14 (10 years ago) There are currently 58 committers and 41 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Carlos Sierra Andrés on 2018-07-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Romain Manni-Bucau on 2020-01-29. ## Project Activity: - a new sub-component `aries-typedevent` implementing the upcoming R8 *OSGi Typed Event Service Specification* has started - aries-rsa-1.15.0 is under vote. - cdi-1.1.2 release is coming shortly. - spifly-1.3.1 was released on 2020-10-15. - jax-rs-whiteboard-1.0.10 was released on 2020-10-05. - spifly-1.3.0 was released on 2020-05-28. ## Community Health: - defects that are being reported are being handled quickly and efficiently over the past while. - the reduction in commits is due to switch from dev of new sub-components toward more maintenance of said components - an effort started to migrate the site from the old CMS to some new option (the selected option was "Antora".) The work was started but because the option is not well known and seems to involve a fairly complex setup we've hit a sort of roadblock and some uncertainty about direction to take (however the community agrees Aries really needs a new site) This is presently our biggest challenge - the large number of sub-components and lack of good website/structured information is making it hard to produce a cohesive view of the activities and I feel this contributes to poor awareness/interest - project traffic is low but respectable otherwise and most queries from community are answered.

Development activity mainly happens on jax-rs and CDI support as well as maintenance on other modules. ## Community Health: We have very low activity on the user list. This is partly as we just create modules that are then used in bigger projects like Apache Karaf. Still it looks a bit troubling.

Last addition was Carlos Sierra Andrés on 2018-07-03. - Romain Manni-Bucau was added as committer on 2020-01-29 ## Project Activity: We mainly worked on Aries CDI and Aries JAX-RS-Whiteboard. ## Community Health: Only a few of the many sub projects of Aries are active at the moment. Activity on user list grew a bit but is still very low. The biggest problem I see at the moment is that our website is very outdated. While we have some very interesting projects that are widely used in the OSGi community we are not announcing them well.

There is some uptake on the dev list activity but it is mainly caused by development work. Activity on user list is very low which is a bit concerning. On the upside we have a few new people becoming active and will follow up when to vote for them as committers.
@Myrle: follow up on security issue

Unfortunately no one stepped up. So I will remain the chair for now but keep asking for volunteers.
## Description: - Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - In this period we have rather low activity as the upcoming OSGi specs are still in early stage. - Mainly fixes stable releases - We now moved the main aries repo to git too. So now all Aries source code is available on git and github which makes it easier for new contributors to propose changes. - We decided to work on a new website that has a nicer design and is easier to maintain. A new contributor François Papon offered to create the basic structure and design for us. - Last year we decided to have a regular change in PMC chair. So I will call for proposals for a new PMC chair. ## Health report: - Health of the project is good. We have a low number of active committers but activity is stable. ## PMC changes: - Currently 41 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Carlos Sierra Andrés on Tue Jul 03 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 57 committers. - Amichai Rothman was added as a committer on Thu May 23 2019 ## Releases: - rsa-1.14.0 was released on May 20 2019 - jax-rs-whiteboard was released on May 31 2019 - Aries Proxy 1.1.5 was release on Jun 21 2019 - spifly-1.2.3 was released on Jul 08 2019 ## JIRA activity: - 8 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 11 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

to join forces with Data in Motion to work together on an OSGi spec around
messaging. It is not yet decided where the spec will be hosted.
- All subprojects of Aries are have now migrated to gitbox
## Health report:
- Good activity in the new projects like CDI and JAX-RS-Whiteboard. Most
other projects are more in maintenance mode.

- Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. - The PMC apologises for missing the April 2017 board report deadline and offers this report to cover the period between the April board meeting and now in addition to the months of the previous reporting period (mid Jan to mid Apr). ## Issues: - One issue for the Board to consider is how to add new committers when the PMC lead is not available, see below in committer base changes. ## Activity: - As a community we made 12 releases this quarter. - Raymond Augé and Tom de Wolf have been voted in as new committers. ## Health report: - The PMC were requested by the board to consider if there are any potential PMC candidates among the current committers. The PMC have invited Dominik Przybysz and will continue to consider new PMC members. - A new contribution of CDI integration has been donated by Raymond Augé. - The dev@ list traffic is increasing, user@ traffic has been quite low. - The dev@ mailing list seems to be the channel most people communicate over. ## PMC changes: - Currently 37 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Christian Schneider on Fri Apr 10 2015 - Dominik Przybysz has accepted an invitation and is in the process of being added ## Committer base changes: - Currently 55 committers. - New commmitters: - Grzegorz Grzybek was added as a committer on Tue Feb 28 2017 - Raymond Augé was added as a committer on Mon Apr 24 2017 - Tom De Wolf was added as a committer on Wed May 03 2017 - We voted Raymond Augé and Tom de Wolf in as committers, but it took *some time* for Raymond (already a committer) to be added to the committer group and for Tom's ID to be created while the PMC chair was unavailable for 4 weeks. In retrospect, https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newcommitter indicates Tom could have had his ID created in the absence of the Chair: "...ASF member can use the same form in his/her stead. .... If the ICLA included the PMC name, normally the account will already have been set up in the correct LDAP group that will grant access to the project source repository." But Raymond, who already has an Apache ID, couldn't be added to the aries unix group without an action by the Chair: "To grant or deny access to directories in SVN, the PMC chair needs to update the appropriate [group] entry." This seems like an anomaly and we'll start a discussion to see what we can do to resolve. ## Releases: - Aries JPA (jpa) 2.6.1 - 3-Apr-2017 - Aries Proxy API (proxy-api) 1.1.0 - 24-Mar-2017 - Aries Proxy (proxy) 1.1.0 - 24-Mar-2017 - Aries Blueprint Core (blueprint-core) 1.8.0 - 24-Mar-2017 - Aries Blueprint CM (blueprint-cm) 1.1.0 - 24-Mar-2017 - Aries ESA Maven Plugin (esa-maven-plugin) 1.0.2 - 15-Mar-2017 - Aries JPA (jpa) 2.6.0 - 27-Feb-2017 - Aries Blueprint Maven Plugin Annotations (blueprint-maven-plugin-annotation) 1.1.0 - 27-Feb-2017 - Aries Blueprint Maven Plugin (blueprint-maven-plugin) 1.6.0 - 27-Feb-2017 - Aries Remote Service Admin 1.10.0 (aries-rsa) 27-Feb-2017 - Aries Blueprint Spring (blueprint-spring) 0.3.0 - 7-Feb-2017 - Aries Aries Blueprint Spring Extender Support (blueprint-spring-extender) 0.3.0 - 1-Feb-2017 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@aries.apache.org: - 137 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months): - 539 emails sent to list (398 in previous quarter) - user@aries.apache.org: - 237 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months): - 30 emails sent to list (99 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 40 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 47 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ## Releases After some discussion at the end of May, we resolved to alter our release process. The new process means we'll be compromising slightly on OSGi semantic versioning at the bundle level in favour of making the release process simpler and easier to do often. The following releases have been created with dates they were promoted to maven central: * Apache Aries Transaction Manager (transaction-manager) 1.2.0 2015/05/09 * Apache Aries Parent POM (parent) 2.0.1 2015/06/08 * Apache Aries JPA 2.0.0 (jpa) 2015/06/19 * Apache Aries Subsystems API 2.0.1 (subsystem-api) 2015/06/29 * Apache Aries Subsystems Core 2.0.1 (subsystem-core) 2015/06/29 * Apache Aries Subsystems Bundle 2.0.1 (subsystem-bundle) 2015/06/29 * Apache Aries Blueprint Parser (blueprint-parser) 1.3.1 2015/06/02 * Apache Aries Blueprint Web (blueprint-web) 1.1.1 2015/06/02 * Apache Aries Blueprint no-OSGI (blueprint-noosgi) 1.1.1 2015/06/02 * Apache Aries Subsystems API 2.0.2 (subsystem-api) 2015/07/03 * Apache Aries Subsystems Core 2.0.2 (subsystem-core) 2015/07/03 * Apache Aries Subsystems Bundle 2.0.2 (subsystem-bundle) 2015/07/03 * Apache Aries Transaction Manager (transaction-manager) 1.2.1 2015/07/10 ## Project update A new module containing an implementation of the OSGi Async service has been contributed. Jean-Baptiste Onofre & Christian Schneider added to the PMC on 2015/04/10 New committers: Giuseppe Gerla 2015/05/26 User list activity has decreased over the past few months, whereas the dev@ traffic remains fairly consistent. This may be due to Aries 'library' nature. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ##Project update * The SPI Fly component now fully implements the ServiceLoader Mediator Specification 1.0 from the OSGi Enterprise R5 spec (chapter 133). It is the Reference Implementation of this spec and passes all the OSGi TCK tests for it. * The JMX component in Aries now fully implements OSGi/JMX 1.1 from the OSGi Enterprise R5 spec (chapter 124). As of this version it is the Reference Implementation of this spec and passes all the OSGi TCK tests for JMX. Both components are available in SNAPSHOT versions in the Aries code base. They are waiting to be released. * The Semantic Versioning maven plugin component is now being used in our own builds - for modules that have 1.0 or above releases. For those modules, the bytecode output to the target directory will be checked for semantic changes since the last release. If the semantic version is incorrect, the build will fail. * Apache Karaf 2.3.0 - one of our significant consumers - has moved up to include Apache Aries 1.0.0 releases. No releases this quarter. ##Project Branding Board Report Checklist * Project Website Basics : homepage is aries.apache.org (done) * Project Naming And Descriptions : use proper Apache forms, describe product, etc. (pending) * Website Navigation Links : navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included (pending - feather link done) * Trademark Attributions : attribution for all ASF marks included in footers, etc. (pending) * Logos and Graphics : include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (pending) * Project Metadata : DOAP file checked in and up to date (done) ##Community update No new committers since the last report.

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. == Releases == Several release vote threads during the last three months saw the release of 88 bundles at version 1.0. These can be found from the downloads link on the Aries home page. Subsequently, the following micro version update bundles have been released: * Apache Aries Blueprint Core 1.0.1 * Apache Aries JMX Core 1.0.1 * Apache Aries Transaction Manager 1.0.1 * Apache Aries JPA Container Managed Contexts 1.0.1 In addition, these new bundles were released. * Apache Aries JMS Pool 1.0.0 * Apache Aries Transaction Enlisting JDBC Datasource 1.0.0 Many thanks to the release managers for their persistence in getting these important releases out. == Project Branding Board Report Checklist == * Project Website Basics : homepage is aries.apache.org (done) * Project Naming And Descriptions : use proper Apache forms, describe product, etc. (pending) * Website Navigation Links : navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included (pending - feather link done) * Trademark Attributions : attribution for all ASF marks included in footers, etc. (pending) * Logos and Graphics : include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (pending) * Project Metadata : DOAP file checked in and up to date (done) == Community update == Jeremias Maerki has proposed, and posted a patch for, an addition to the spi-fly module called SPI Catcher. Its objective is along the lines of the OSGi Connect work in the OSGi Alliance to make it easier to get started with OSGi dynamic services technology. The SPI Catch approach is complementary by introducing OSGi APIs much later, if at all, ensuring "runnability totally outside of OSGi" is preserved. No new committers since the last report.

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. A new module called versioning has been created for a utility to byte code analyse latest binaries with the last release of those binaries to find changes that should cause an OSGi Export-Package version attribute change, according to the OSGi Semantic Versioning whitepaper. It looks as though Apache Aries JMS will become the reference implementation of the update to the OSGi JMX spec for which an early draft was released by the OSGi Alliance in September. Releases -------- Bug fix releases: * Apache Aries Application 0.2.2 * Apache Aries Util 0.2.1 We have been putting together a functional release from trunk but it's taking longer than we'd hoped. Due to our objective of getting the OSGi versioning correct, we're having to release more modules and correct more OSGi version ranges than we had hoped. A fully staged release of Apache Aries Blueprint and its dependencies is imminent. Project Branding Board Report Checklist --------------------------------------- A little progress here.

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. === Development === Users have asked for a release of the Aries JPA bundles and hence the snapshot bundles it depends on (Aries Util) - in particular due to: * the new 'runtime enhancer' that will mean entities can be enhanced as they are used in the runtime, rather than at development time. * the support for EclipseLink (in addition to Apache OpenJPA) as a JPA provider The release process has just started. This will exercise our per bundle release process adhering to the OSGi Alliance Semantic Versioning recommendations. There have also been enhancements to the Aries JMX (whiteboard pattern) and Aries Subsystem (to use OSGi Core 4.3). Apache Geronimo, which consumes Apache Aries to implement its enterprise OSGi application programming model, has been readying a release. The performance enhancements in the Aries Proxy module which now makes use of the new Weaving Hooks OSGi specification, has had a few teething problems for Geronimo. All known problems are now resolved. === Project Branding Board Report Checklist === We've been reminded of this work and are reporting this checklist for the first time. We appreciate we're a bit behind the curve here, and are doing our best to catch up. * Project Website Basics : homepage is aries.apache.org (done) * Project Naming And Descriptions : use proper Apache forms, describe product, etc. (pending) * Website Navigation Links : navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included (pending - feather link done) * Trademark Attributions : attribution for all ASF marks included in footers, etc. (pending) * Logos and Graphics : include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (pending) * Project Metadata : DOAP file checkedin and up to date (pending - some minor updates needed) === Community update === Roughly same number of dev@ subscribers at 119, user@ 148 subscribers up 14 since last report. John Ross was voted in as a committer after his significant work to the 'subsystem' module. There are no board level issues.
Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. Since the last board report, there have been enhancements to the 'proxy' module to which has improved its performance by making use of the new 'Weaving Hook Service' OSGi specification (in 4.3) as an alternative to ASM. This also removes some restrictions on final classes/methods imposed by use the use of ASM. The 'spi-fly' module's OSGi service approach to META-INF/services has also been updated to make use of the Weavking Hook Service gaining similar benefits. Some more documentation on the new release-by-bundle release process has been written. This positions us nicely to demonstrate and make use of the OSGi Semantic Versioning scheme. Now that the parent-0.4 module has been released, we are in a position to use it for the next release. Community update ---------------- Small increase in since last month dev@ 118 subscribers, user@ 134 subscribers. There has been a slight increase in user list traffic. The dev@ list continues to be active with less traffic on the user@ list. No new committers or PMC members. There are no board level issues.
Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. New releases ------------ These bug fix releases have been completed since the last board report: * Aries Application 0.2.1 * Aries Blueprint 0.2.1 * Aries Blueprint 0.3.1 Release by bundle ----------------- After some significant investigation and discussion, we recently concluded a vote to switch to a release-by-bundle scheme. This is to enable us to follow the guidance set out in the OSGi Alliance Semantic Versioning white paper. Community update ---------------- Largely unchanged since last month dev@ 117 subscribers, user@ 129 subscribers. The dev@ list continues to be active with less traffic on the user@ list. No new committers or PMC members. There are no board level issues.
Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. Aries 0.3 has now been released. Aries Application 0.2.1 is being released to assist Geronimo. This is the first time Aries has released a single module. Now that the first full Aries release since graduation has happened, and that there is a desire to consider OSGi semantic versioning guidelines we are discussing whether releasing at a finer grained level is more appropriate. There is much good discussion about what makes sense for Aries, with input from what happens in Felix, Sling and ACE. Community update: largely unchanged since last month dev@ 117 subscribers, user@ 127 subscribers. The dev@ list continues to be active with less traffic on the user@ list. No new committers or PMC members since the January report. There are no board level issues.
Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. Aries graduated from the Incubator on 15th December 2010. The majority of the items on the Incubator transfer to TLP list have been completed but not all. We are preparing our 0.3 release and are at the stage of removing snapshot dependencies by working with the projects Aries depends on to cut releases themselves. This is making good progress. The Aries web site has now moved from Confluence to CMS. The speed to put a page into production is much improved and very welcome. Community update: dev@ 118 subscribers, user@ 127 subscribers. The dev@ list continues to be active with less traffic on the user@ list. No new committers or PMC members since the December report. There are no board level issues.

Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. Aries entered incubation on September 22, 2009. The Aries community and Incubator PMC have voted for Aries to graduate as a TLP. This is an agenda item in the Dec 15th 2010 Board meeting. There is discussion about making a release, which Karaf and Geronimo would consume, as soon as we have a decision from the board. There continues to be a vibrant community as shown by the activity on the mailing list in the last quarter. The Aries sub-components continue to be actively developed. Since the last board report we have 3 new committers (Bartosz Kowalewski, Chris Wilkinson and Emily Jiang) and one new PPMC member (Holly Cummins). We are close to moving our site from Confluence over to CMS. All that remains is for the site to be switched over. The CMS based site will allow us to update the site immediately after a change is made and more easily blend in non-wiki content such as that generated by the OSGi Enterprise Compliance Tests. There are no further issues to resolve before graduation - the Aries and Incubator communities have voted to graduate Aries to a TLP.

Aries will deliver a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. Aries entered incubation on September 22, 2009. This is our first board report. There are currently no issues requiring IPMC or Board attention . All infra resources have been set up (svn / site / mailing lists) very quickly. The svn area has been organized with a single trunk for now, though we still need to settle the discussion about components lifecycle and the svn layout. IBM has contributed some code that has been imported into svn and the JNDI modules have already been imported into trunk. Both Geronimo contribution (OSGi Blueprint Services) and ServiceMix contribution (OSGi Transaction Manager) have been imported into trunk. On the community side, we've already voted 3 additional committers (Adam Wojtuniak, Alan Keane and Niclas Hedhman) who had expressed their interest in joining the project just after the acceptance vote on the proposal was launched. There is a lot of discussions and activity on the mailing lists.
