Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with
features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and
integration with popular build tools and source control management systems.
Activity
As expected, activity remained low since last report. The spike in issue tracker
and commit activity seen two periods ago was driven driven by a single
contributor with some, but limited, additional activity seen in the issue
tracker and mailing lists. Work towards the 1.5 release has stalled, with a
single issue remaining. A release based on current state may be possible, but
will require the necessary PMC votes, an unknown given the failure of the 1.4.3
release due to lack of votes.
Board Issues
- None at this time. However, failure to release 1.5 next period due to lack
of PMC votes will likely result in a recommendation for a board-initiated
move to the Attic due to a non-functioning PMC.
PMC/Committership changes
- Currently 18 committers and 13 PMC members in the project.
- No new changes to the PMC or committership since last report.

Activity
The increase in mailing list activity reported last period has settled back to
prior volumes. The spike in issue tracker and commit activity reported has
continued to be high with progress toward a 1.5 release, but contributions were
limited to an individual. The pending 1.4.3 vote reported last period failed due
to insufficient PMC votes.
Board Issues

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. Activity on the mailing lists was slightly increased since last report, but still relatively low. Issue tracker and commit activity saw a significant spike in the last month or so. There is currently an open vote for a 1.4.3 release and work towards a 1.5 release has been steady. The last project release was Continuum 1.4.2 on June 13, 2014. The last committer was added December 8, 2010 and the last PMC member was added on September 2, 2012.

Since last period, the project released Continuum 1.4.2 on June 13, 2014. Among the changes was an important security fix addressing the previously reported remote execution vulnerability. Volume on the mailing lists and in the issue tracker was slightly higher than the last few periods leading up to and immediately following the release of 1.4.2, but still low as expected. There have been no new committers since last cycle. The last committer was added December 8, 2010 and the last PMC member was added on September 2, 2012.

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. The heightened activity cited in the last report resulted in a temporarily build to address the remote execution vulnerabilities in Apache Struts 2 that lead to vmbuild being compromised and subsequently disabled by the infrastructure team. The build has been running on vmbuild without incident since January, 7 2014. The last release was Continuum 1.4.1, on January 7, 2013. A release including fixes for the previously mentioned vulnerabilities is still pending. As expected, there has been low volume on the mailing lists and in the issue tracker.

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. There has been heightened activity since the last cycle, much of which has been related to migrating the project to recent versions of Apache Struts. This is primarily to address a remote execution vulnerability that resulted in vmbuild being compromised and subsequently disabled by the infrastructure team. The last release was Continuum 1.4.1, on January 7, 2013. A release to address the mentioned vulnerabilities is pending, but still being worked towards. There has been volume on the mailing lists and in the issue tracker, but still relatively low. There have been no new committers since last cycle.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Brett Porter to the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Brett Porter from the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Continuum project has chosen by vote to recommend Brent Atkinson as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Brett Porter is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Brent Atkinson be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, 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.

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. There has been one burst of activity in the last cycle, cleaning up a number of issues towards a further 1.4.2 release. No movement on that front yet, however. There has been no activity on the users list. Activity remains low as expected, but there are still enough PMC members around to help when needed. The last release was Continuum 1.4.1, on January 7, 2013. We have not added any new committers recently. The last committer was added December 8, 2010 and the last PMC member was added on September 2, 2012. As there was another willing candidate, I have decided to stand down as chair of the project. There were no other nominations from the PMC, so I expect to include a resolution for the board's consideration once the vote has completed.
Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. As expected, activity has dropped off after the 1.4.1 release last quarter. A contributor has recently submitted some patches related to the upgrade that would warrant a 1.4.2 release once they are reviewed and applied. User list activity was likewise very low, but questions were responded to. The last release was Continuum 1.4.1, on January 7, 2013. We have not added any new committers recently. The last committer was added December 8, 2010 and the last PMC member was added on September 2, 2012.
Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. This quarter saw the long overdue release of Continuum 1.4.1 on January 7, 2013, including a number of accumulated improvements. This also included a fix for a security vulnerability reported earlier, based on the version of the Struts library used. We have recommended all users upgrade and published details on a security page. The project has moved to using svnpubsub for publishing the site and documentation, and for release distributions. All branding requirements have now been completed. We are likely to have low activity from this point onwards, as the application is mature and serves current user's needs. New contributors would be welcomed, and there is enough attention from the PMC to respond to new users and contributors as that arises, and to produce a release if necessary. We have not added any new committers recently. The last committer was added December 8, 2010 and the last PMC member was added on September 2, 2012.
Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. A number of issues blocking the Continuum 1.4.1 release have been resolved, and the vote for that should be upcoming very shortly. Aside from that, activity remains very low. Occasional questions to the users@ list were responded to promptly. Brent Atkinson was added as a PMC member on 2 Sep 2012. The last release was Continuum 1.3.8, on 18 Sep 2011. Still no movement on the branding requirements, which will be updated with the next release. We have not added any new committers recently. The last committer was added 8 Dec 2010.
Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. There has been some recent activity around getting the long awaited Continuum 1.4.1 release out the door. The last release was Continuum 1.3.8, on 18 Sep 2011. Still no movement on the branding requirements, which will be updated with the next release. We have not added any new committers or PMC members recently.

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. Since reporting in May, progress towards the next release has remained slow. One user is testing trunk to provide feedback about what is needed before it should be released. There has been some early indication that the technical issue we perceived as a release blocker may not be a problem after all. Despite the quietness, we have the necessary PMC oversight to produce a release when someone pushes that forward. The project branding requirements and lack of DOAP file will be addressed in the process of updating the site for the release.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Emmanuel Venisse to the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Emmanuel Venisse from the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Continuum project has chosen to recommend Brett Porter the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Emmanuel Venisse is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Brett Porter and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Continuum, 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.

Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. Continuum has been suffering from low development activity, with just a handful of commits each quarter. A discussion was started to move the project to the Attic, however this encouraged at least one committer and a user to volunteer to help produce another release. Others have since stepped forward. There are a large number of fixes that reside on trunk that are worth releasing, and it has been reported to be very stable. Only one blocker needs to be worked through before the release. Though available time is infrequent, there appears to be enough PMC oversight still present to do a release, and through that we can assess who is likely to remain active, and if the others should be brought into the PMC to continue the project. The current chair has stated that he is not available for the position any longer and will be standing down. A resolution to appoint a new chair has been proposed for the meeting. In other matters, the project branding requirements have not yet been completed.

AI Greg: find out the status of the security release
Below are the important events that happened in the project since November. Releases -------- Continuum 1.3.7 was released on 11 February 2011. This is a security and bug fix release. This release covers the security issue CVE-2010-3449, first reported against Archiva but which originated in a shared library. The release also covers the security issue CVE-2011-0533, which was reported to infrastructure against vmbuild.apache.org (which was patched immediately). This originated from some poor defaults in a third party library. Development ----------- ... Community --------- Added a new committer, Brent Atkinson, in December. Issues ------ No board level issues at this time.

Geir to pursue a report for Continuum
Below are the important events that happened in the project since November. Releases -------- * Continuum 1.3.5 (Beta) was released January 19, 2010 Development --------- The number of issues left for the 1.3.6 release is in single digits and is likely to be the first GA release of the series. The developers discussed and agreed on a roadmap for 1.4 and beyond. Community --------- Dennis Lundberg was added as a committer, after offering to help with the documentation. Emmanuel fixed some problems with the Continuum instance on VMBuild. The host instance now seems to be stable, but work is still needed to clean up old projects and upgrade to the latest release.

Below are the important events that happened in the project since August. Releases -------- * Continuum 1.3.4 (Beta) was released on September 4, 2009 Development --------- Slowly working towards a GA release of Continuum 1.3. Wendy Smoak spent considerable effort ensuring the issue tracker was up to date so that current issues are visible. Community --------- A couple of developers continue to help maintain the Continuum instance on VMBuild for Apache projects, and now also have access to a Windows machine for testing. We're looking to reinstall these soon after the 1.3 GA release. VMBuild was recently moved to a different VM box, and we plan to work with infrastructure to ensure it meets their criteria for standardised VM deployments. Issues ------ No board level issues at this time.

This is the second board report submitted by Continuum since becoming a TLP. Below are the important events that happened in the project since March. Releases -------- * No new release since previous report * All issues are defined for Continuum 1.2, but the release isn't scheduled yet Community --------- * Discussion started to redesign the web site * Discussion started for the internal architecture in future versions * Two new Continuum commiters (Olivier and Arnaud) are helping out with vmbuild Issues ------ * The Java Service Wrapper has moved to GPL for version 3.3.0+. Continuum uses this wrapper but will be sticking with the 3.2.3 version.
This report for March is the first report since Continuum graduation last month. Continuum resources have been completely moved out of the Maven area. The web site has moved to its final location (http://continuum.apache.org). The svn repo has moved to its final location (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/). The mailing lists has been moved too. We are currently working on Continuum 1.2, which isn't planned yet. Discussions are started about the next major version (2.0). About cryptography, a review of http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html has determined that Continuum does not have any reporting obligations since it does not contain any cryptographic code under the ECCN 5D002 definition. Although Continuum might be used by developers with cryptographic libraries, it is not "specially designed or modified for" such a purpose.
