Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

 Flavio Junqueira:

   The project has been progressing well despite the absence of a release.
   The community has put a release candidate together, but unfortunately we
   didn't that it was missing a few important additions and changes (e.g.,
   DISCLAIMER and license header). I'm happy with the community development.
   There is interest and new contributors are continuously joining.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

Flavio Junqueira: Project has been progressing well. All three mentors have
been actively participating in bringing the project up to speed and helping
out with issues. Several contributors have expressed interest in the project
and there is some initial discussion around issues, improvements, and new
features. I'm personally happy with the progress.
