## Description: The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being maintained. Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class websites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications, and it is not a reference implementation. ## Project Status: The project is ongoing with moderate activity. There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Jackrabbit was founded 2006-03-15 (19 years ago). There are currently 59 committers and 59 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1, because all committers automatically become PMC members. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Nuno Santos on 2023-11-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Nuno Santos on 2023-11-13. ## Project Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. The team reduced usage of Google's Guava library significantly and Jackrabbit Oak is now using Java features where possible. The long term goal is to remove the dependency on Guava. Work on migrating Jackrabbit Oak from Azure SDK 8.x to 12.x has been picked up again and is ongoing. Azure SDK 8.x is no longer supported and a migration to 12.x is now required. ## Community Health: The project is generally healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting activity of the respective component. In November, a vote was started to add a new committer and PMC member to the project. The vote was canceled due to lack of votes. Concerns raised on the private mailing list mentioned that the candidate has not been active in the project long enough. Commit activity is moderate, mirroring the activity on the JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release. ## Releases: - jackrabbit-oak-1.22.21 was released on 2024-09-12 - jackrabbit-filevault-3.8.2 was released on 2024-09-25 - filevault-package-maven-plugin-1.4.0 was released on 2024-10-01 - jackrabbit-oak-1.70.0 was released on 2024-10-01 - jackrabbit-2.23.1-beta was released on 2024-10-12 - jackrabbit-oak-1.72.0 was released on 2024-11-14 ## JIRA activity: - 226 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 190 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. Steffen Van suggested introducing a code formatter for the Jackrabbit Oak code base. The proposal sparked a discussion on the mailing list and a corresponding pull request. Jackrabbit committers voiced concerns about the impact on git diff readability and backporting of changes to maintenance branches. No decision has been made yet. A new revision garbage collection feature was added to Jackrabbit Oak. The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled with a feature toggle. Additional work is in progress to control the type of garbage that is collected. After some confusion about the Jackrabbit even/odd minor version scheme, the team decided to add a -beta suffix to releases with an odd minor version number. The first release with the new versioning scheme was Jackrabbit 2.21.26-beta on March 28th. ## Community Health: The project is generally healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting activity of the respective component.

In October a significant code contribution to Jackrabbit Oak was made by a non-committer (Lucas Weitzendorf). The contribution adds support for parallel compaction of a segment store. Throughout the last quarter the indexing component of Jackrabbit Oak has seen a lot of activity. The team has been working on a more efficient way to index large repositories. Migration to Jakarta APIs saw some progress with good collaboration between different Apache project teams. However, the migration requires many changes while the team also wants to keep modules compatible with the current version of the Servlet API. In December the classic Jackrabbit code base was migrated from SVN to Git. The only remaining module in SVN is the project website, but there are plans to migrate that as well. ## Community Health: The project is generally healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting activity of the respective component.

Discussion started to require Java 11 as a minimum version, because is it getting more difficult to build and run Apache Jackrabbit with Java 8. There is an increased interest in updating the Guava dependency. Unfortunately some Guava classes were used in OSGi packages exported by Jackrabbit. This means an update of Guava in Jackrabbit becomes a breaking change and must be done carefully. The plan is also to hide the Guava dependency from Jackrabbit consumers, so we can more easily update Guava in the future. ## Community Health: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on the JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting the activity of the respective component.

The Jackrabbit content repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being maintained. Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it is not a reference implementation. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Jackrabbit was founded 2006-03-15 (16 years ago) There are currently 57 committers and 57 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Felix Meschberger was removed from the PMC on 2022-01-10 - Tobias Bocanegra was removed from the PMC on 2022-02-11 - Jose Andrés Cordero was added to the PMC on 2022-02-22 - Felix Meschberger was removed as committer on 2022-01-10 - Tobias Bocanegra was removed as committer on 2022-02-11 - Jose Andrés Cordero was added as committer on 2022-02-22 ## Project Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. We continue making regular feature releases of Jackrabbit Oak. The most recent release was Jackrabbit Oak 1.42.0 made available on January 12th. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. Impact of the Log4j vulnerability on Jackrabbit modules was moderate. Only vault-cli used Log4j for logging. With JCRVLT-573 this module now also switched to logback and there is no more dependency on Log4j. As precaution even some transitive test dependencies on Log4j have been excluded (OAK-9639 and OAK-9645). ## Community Health: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on the JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting the activity of the respective component. Commit activity is moderate, mirroring the activity on the JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release. ## Releases: - jackrabbit-2.21.9 was released on 2021-12-10 - jackrabbit-filevault-3.5.8 was released on 2021-12-22 - jackrabbit-2.16.9 was released on 2022-01-07 - jackrabbit-oak-1.42.0 was released on 2022-01-12 - jackrabbit-oak-1.22.10 was released on 2022-01-24 - jackrabbit-oak-1.8.26 was released on 2022-02-04 - jackrabbit-2.21.10 was released on 2022-02-10 - jackrabbit-oak-1.22.11 was released on 2022-02-24 - jackrabbit-filevault-3.6.0 was released on 2022-03-02 ## JIRA activity: - 137 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 108 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it is not a reference implementation. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. We continue making regular feature releases of Jackrabbit Oak. The most recent release was Jackrabbit Oak 1.20.0 that was made available on November 25th. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user lists as well as on the various JIRA issues. Commit activity is moderate to high mirroring the activity on the JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release. ## PMC changes: - Currently 56 PMC members. - No new PMC members.

All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. We made our 8th feature release of Jackrabbit Oak (1.16) end of July. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. The project stopped supporting Jackrabbit releases from the old 2.10 branch and encouraged users to upgrade to more recent stable versions (https://s.apache.org/c2a1d). Four new committers were added to the project and added to the PMC in the last 3 months. There is an increased interest in the filevault components, visible in higher JIRA activity and mailing list discussions on that topic. A hackathon planned for August was canceled because very few participants registered and no proposals were submitted for the hackathon (https://s.apache.org/i8be9). ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user lists as well as on the various JIRA issues.

Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. We changed the release strategy for Jackrabbit Oak. The aim is to reduce the number of maintained branches in the long run and deliver new features to users more frequently. Feature releases are now planned roughly ever two months. See https://s.apache.org/9SYQ on oak-dev for details. A hackathon was held in Basel this quarter (https://s.apache.org/LRn6). Various topics were discussed during the hackathon, including the planned Apache MoinMoin Wiki decommission, making it easier for developers to run proposed changes through a CI/CD pipeline and a prototype for asynchronous commits. As part of the hackathon the Apache Jackrabbit MoinMoin Wiki was archived (https://s.apache.org/7rDN) and the project will no longer use a Wiki system. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component.

Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Oak. The direct binary access feature finally landed in trunk this quarter. This is a major new feature that required effort and coordination from many different domain experts in our comitter base. There is an ongoing effort to understand and be prepared for the impact of the changes in the release model of Java. This includes evaluating whether we can support newer Java versions on some of our branches. We expect to further improve modularisation of our code base to enable independent releases for non core moduls. Discussions and prototyping is expected to happen in the next couple of months. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component.

Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Oak. This quarter saw the 5th major release of Jackrabbit Oak (1.8). With Oak 1.8 out the team is currently discussing future topics including supporting other persistence back ends, adapting to upcoming Java versions and how to support older Java versions while maintaining backward compatibility without losing the ability to invent. A potential security vulnerability was reported to us by the Apache Security Team on Dec. 25th. See https://s.apache.org/7l6s. After careful evaluation and consideration with the reporter no exploitable issue was identified. See https://s.apache.org/R3Ke. Nevertheless the affected code was improved to avoid a potential future vulnerability through reuse of that code in another context. See OAK-7119. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user lists as well as on the various Jira issues. Turn around on Jira issues is on the lower end this quarter. It is expected to rise again once feature work on the next release picks up. ## PMC changes: - Currently 50 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Robert Munteanu on Mon May 22 2017 - Roy T.

Report from the Apache Jackrabbit committee ## Description: The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being maintained. Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it is not a reference implementation. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Oak. Adobe donated the content-package-maven-plugin to us: a Maven plugin that simplifies the creation of content package maven artifacts. The content packages can later be used to install content into a JCR repository using the Apache Jackrabbit FileVault packaging runtime. Filevault was contributed 4 years ago, but we never had a tool to create the packaged during runtime. Adobe's plugin is publicly available, but only in binary form. This contribution brings the source and development closer to the filevault core. Retirement of Apache Jackrabbit 2.4: the Apache Jackrabbit PMC decided that since the 2.4 branch of the project looks like not being used any more to drop support and deprecate this version. Previous branch, tags and releases will still be available for future references, but will not show up on the download page any more. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest stable versions (2.14 for Java 7, 2.12 for Java 6). We held an Oak Hackathon August 21st to 25th in Basel - Switzerland, which was free and open to everyone. See https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/Oakathon%20August%202017. There are various talks around Jackrabbit at this year's AdaptTo conference in Berlin Sept. 25th to 27th. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user lists as well as on the various JIRA issues.

Report from the Apache Jackrabbit committee [Michael Dürig]
## Description:
The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API
(JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content
repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
maintained.
Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant
hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the
foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding
content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not
implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it
is not a reference implementation.
## Issues:
We received the following question from the board in response to
our last report:
"is Oak sufficiently different to warrant its own new project?
Remember, we discourage umbrella projects. If Oak is simply a
"product" then as gs states please say so and identify it."
Oak is well within the scope of the Jackrabbit PMC. Technically it
strives for fresh solutions to the initial requirements taking into
account new challenges from the technology landscape. To that
respect it can be seen as an evolution of the initial content
repository. At some point we expect Oak to replace the previous
implementation. The exact process is yet to be defined.
The same pattern is also observed in the community: while most
activity is currently on Oak, it is largely the same set of people
also taking care of the Jackrabbit content repository. There is
currently no clear sub-community with diverging activities or
interests that would warrant splitting the project.
## Activity:
Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All
maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are
continuously seeing moderate to high activity.
Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of
the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
driven by dependencies from Oak.
## Health report:
The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic
on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective
component / sub-project.
Commit activity is moderate to high as there is substantial new
work being done in certain areas.
The oak-dev list is seeing a broad variety of topics being
discussed.

A further Hackathon was held at ApacheCon EU. * There was a discussion on the future of Jackrabbit and Jackrabbit Oak on the dev@ list. The emerging consensus seems to be that Oak will be kept in Jackrabbit and might eventually become Jackrabbit 3.0 (See http://markmail.org/message/ga4mn2x2xqsvzwg6). o Infrastructure We are still in progress of migrating from Confluence to the new CMS.

Another Hackathon will take place in September co-located with the .adaptTo(Berlin) 2012 conference (http://adaptto.mixxt.de/networks/events/show_event.65841). Being part of .adaptTo() allows us to further broaden the community and spark more interest in Apache Jackrabbit Oak. * Jukka Zitting and Michael Dürig submitted a talk about Oak for .adaptTo(Berlin) 2012 (http://adaptto.mixxt.de/). * Jukka Zitting and Michael Dürig submitted a talk about Oak for ApacheCon Europe 2012. o Infrastructure We are still in progress of migrating from Confluence to the new CMS.

The issue was quickly resolved and the release re-cut into 0.2.1 o Community / Development * Unico Hommes and Christian Stocker joined the Jackrabbit team as committers and PMC members. * Work on Jackrabbit Oak is gaining momentum: there where two Hackathons in the last quarter during which great progress was made. This eventually lead to the releases 0.1. and 0.2.1 as initially planned. Currently we are discussing whether, how and what we want to contribute to the .adaptTo(Berlin) 2012 conference in September. .adaptTo(Berlin) is a technical meet up focused on the technical stack of Apache Sling including Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Felix and is addressed to all developers using this stack or parts of it. Being part of that event would allow us to broaden the community and further spark interest for Apache Jackrabbit Oak. * Alex Parvulescu has successfully taken up the role of a release manager. * There is renewed interest on the OCM codebase, driven by Ard Schrijvers. We expect to be able to cut a new, long overdue OCM release in near future. * ModeShape, a JCR implementation from JBoss, is working with us to improve the JCR test suite. To better facilitate this cooperation we may want to split the test suite away from the main Jackrabbit release schedule. * Jukka Zitting resigned as chairman of the Jackrabbit PMC due to his new role at the Incubator. Michael Dürig was elected and acknowledged as new chairman. o Infrastructure We are still in progress of migrating from Confluence to the new CMS.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Jukka Zitting to the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Jukka Zitting from the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Jackrabbit project has chosen by vote to recommend Michael Dürig as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Jukka Zitting is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Michael Dürig be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, 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 7A, Change the Apache Jackrabbit Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.

The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases The biggest news this quarter was the first stable Jackrabbit 2.4 release, about a year after Jackrabbit 2.2 was branched. * Apache Jackrabbit 2.4.0 on February 9th In the run-up to 2.4, we cut the following unstable 2.3.x releases: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.3.7 on January 24th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.3.6 on January 2nd * Apache Jackrabbit 2.3.5 on December 16th We made one patch release from the earlier 2.2 maintenance branch: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.11 on February 11th We also completed the end-of-life period of the last Jackrabbit 1.x maintenance branch, making the stable 2.x branches the only actively maintained versions of Jackrabbit. o Community / Development No new committers or PMC members were added in this quarter. The work towards Jackrabbit 3 entered a major new phase as we decided to promote the effort from prototypes in the Jackrabbit sandbox to a new Jackrabbit subproject codenamed "Oak". This is a major rewrite of Jackrabbit, which is why we wanted to clearly separate the effort from work on the main Jackrabbit codebase. It is yet undecided whether the Oak codebase will eventually replace Jackrabbit trunk to become Jackrabbit 3.0 or if we want to rebrand the effort and branch it off to a separate TLP, possibly through the Incubator. Meanwhile we plan to start publishing early access versions of the Oak codebase as a series of monthly "Apache Jackrabbit Oak 0.x" releases (as the codename "Oak" is not unique enough for use as a standalone "Apache Oak" brand). Jukka Zitting wishes to resign as chairman of the Jackrabbit PMC due to his new role at the Incubator, so we have started the process of electing a new chairman. o Infrastructure We are still in progress of migrating from Confluence to the new CMS.

We adopted an even/odd versioning scheme for stable/unstable releases and started cutting unstable 2.3.x releases directly from trunk. A stable 2.4.0 release and the accompanying stable 2.4 maintenance branch is planned for January 2012. The end of life of Jackrabbit 1.x was announced, with 1.6.5 being the last 1.x release we plan to make. Active work on the new microkernel prototype targeting Jackrabbit 3.0 continues. o Infrastructure We started working on migrating from Confluence to the new CMS.

We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We made one Jackrabbit 2.2.x patch release in this quarter: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.8 on August 23rd o Legal / Branding No open issues. o Community / Development No new committers or PMC members were added since our last report. Apache Jackrabbit was nominated for the 2011 Swiss Open Source Award in the community category. We attended the award ceremony on Tuesday, Sep 13th, and gave a short presentation about Jackrabbit, but the award went to another project. We are planning to cut the Jackrabbit 2.3.0 release from trunk in near future. To increase the rate at which latest work in the trunk gets released (it is already nine months since Jackrabbit 2.2), we are considering an odd/even versioning strategy where all odd releases like 2.3.x are cut directly from trunk, and even-numbered stable maintenance branches like 2.4 get created every now and then for production-ready releases. Meanwhile we will be cutting new patch releases from earlier maintenance branches, including the old 1.6 branch whose end of life status will be announced along with the last patch release. Also, active work on the new microkernel prototype targeting Jackrabbit 3.0 continues. o Infrastructure The planned migration from Confluence to the new CMS soon is still pending for action on our part.
Congratulations on being nominated for the 2011 Swiss Open Source award. Both Jackrabbit project and Clerezza podling were nominated.
The Apache Jackrabbit(TM) content repository is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java(TM) Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We made three Jackrabbit 2.1.x and 2.2.x patch releases in this quarter: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.7 on June 7th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.5 on June 7th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.5 on March 18th o Legal / Branding No open issues. o Community / Development Dave Brosius and Alex Parvulescu joined the Jackrabbit project as committers and PMC members. A new Jackrabbit 3 prototype has been started based on the proposed microkernel concept. o Infrastructure We will be migrating our web site from Confluence to the new CMS soon.
Apache Jackrabbit(TM) is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java(TM) Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We made three Jackrabbit 2.2.x patch releases in this quarter: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.4 on February 15th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.2 on January 26th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.1 on January 11th o Legal / Branding No open issues. o Community / Development Our efforts to better identify key contributors and offer them committership are starting to bear fruit. In this quarter Berry van Halderen and Thomas Draier joined us as committers and PMC members, and we are expecting to welcome more members soon. We are happy to see Apache Chemistry reach TLP status, and contributed a supporting quote to the press release about their graduation. o Infrastructure We have consensus on moving our web site from Confluence to the new CMS, but have yet to start the migration.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases The biggest news this quarter is the release of Jackrabbit 2.2: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.2.0 on December 14th We also made a number of smaller patch releases: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.3 on December 7th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.2 on October 31st * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0.3 on October 31st * Apache Jackrabbit 1.6.4 on October 12th o Legal / Branding We have updated our project branding to match the new branding guidelines except for a few details that still need to be discussed on trademarks@. o Community / Development No new committers were added in this quarter, but a few old committers have become active again and we're seeing good levels of activity from other contributors. Day Software, the employer of many Jackrabbit committers, was recently acquired by Adobe. We expect this acquisition to have little impact on their contributions to Jackrabbit. o Infrastructure We are currently using a Confluence wiki for managing our project web site, but would like to migrate to an alternative system. The most promising alternatives are the new CMS or an svnpubsub-based site built with Maven.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We released one Jackrabbit 2.1 patch release in August: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.1 on August 11th o Legal We are aware of the new branding guidelines, but have yet to review our web site and other documentation for compliance. o Community / Development No new committers were added in this quarter. There's been some interest on the user list about people getting more involved in maintaining some less active parts of our codebase. We're trying to encourage and mentor such efforts. As usual, we saw a temporary dip in mailing list and development activity during the summer, but we're already back to normal. The Jackrabbit trunk has seen quite a few improvements especially in access control, thread-safety and performance, and we plan to ship these improvements in a Jackrabbit 2.2 release in near future. We received a vulnerability report through security@apache.org, but the problem turned out to be a normal bug with no security implications. o Infrastructure The new Hudson master seems to be working better than the previous one.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Jackrabbit 2.1 was released in April: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.0 on April 22nd We also made maintenance releases from the 1.6 and 1.4 branches: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.6.2 on June 7th * jackrabbit-core 1.4.12 on June 7th o Legal The question in LEGAL-50 about redistribution of the standard JCR API jar has now been officially resolved. Thanks to the legal team for the closure on this! With LEGAL-50 resolved, we have no open legal issues. We use RAT for automatic license header checks as a part of our normal Hudson CI builds, and the accuracy of our LICENSE and NOTICE files is manually reviewed before each release. o Community / Development No new committers were added in this quarter. This is our third consecutive quarter with no new committers. It looks like we need to pay more attention to helping out and mentoring contributors. We have traditionally maintained relatively high entry criteria for new committers. Community diversity remains an issue we pay attention to, as the bulk of Jackrabbit development is still done by one company. In this quarter we've had eight people committing to Jackrabbit trunk, six of whom are employees of Day Software. We satisfy the criteria of at least three independent active committers and the community is healthy. Thus I don't see diversity as an immediate problem for Jackrabbit, but it's a topic we are aware of especially in light of the few new committers we've recently attracted. o Infrastructure The Confluence upgrade caused some breakage on our web site and required manual fixing. We are not too happy with our current Confluence auto-export setup, and are considering other options. Some of our Hudson builds have been failing due to generic Hudson problems. We're hoping that the new master server will solve these issues. We're also looking forward to a chance to set up a Sonar instance for Apache projects.
Doug to initiate a discussion as to what items the board should periodically request be included in reports (example: diversity) to the mailing list.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Jackrabbit 2.0 was released in January after all the main issues in previous beta releases had been fixed: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta5 on January 11th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta6 on January 18th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0.0 on January 27th We also made one maintenance release from the 1.6 branch: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.6.1 on January 21st o Legal We have updated our NOTICE files as discussed in LEGAL-62 and LEGAL-59. o Community / Development No new committers were added in this quarter. With Jackrabbit 2.0 out, we've started discussing about what we want to achieve in Jackrabbit 3, our next major release. These design discussions have been pretty lively and it's good to see many voices from outside the core development team participating in the email threads. The first bits of related prototype code have already hit our sandbox area in svn. o Infrastructure No open issues.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Jackrabbit 2.0 reached beta status with the following releases: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha11 on September 23rd * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta1 on October 30th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta3 on November 25th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta4 on December 12th We also made two releases from the old 1.4 maintenance branch: * jackrabbit-core 1.4.10 on September 15th * jackrabbit-core 1.4.11 on September 23rd We made two releases of the Jackrabbit parent POM: * org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit:4 on September 14th * org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit:5 on October 4th o Legal We're tracking the LEGAL-50 and LEGAL-62 issues for further comments, but currently we have no open legal action items. We are interested in figuring out how the new trademark policy affects our logo, website and releases, and what steps we need to take to meet the policy. o Community / Development Jackrabbit participated in the Content Technology track and the NoSQL meetup at ApacheCon US 2009. The development branch related to database connection pooling has been merged back to Jackrabbit trunk and the results are included in the Jackrabbit 2.0 beta4 release. We've discussed with Apache Sling about taking over some OSGi bundling code they've written for Jackrabbit. On the other hand there is some code in Jackrabbit that's only being used by Sling and that might end up being adopted by them. We're considering making parts of our svn tree writable by members of both projects to simplify such cooperation. o Infrastructure We received some spam through Nabble on our dev@ list, and have asked Nabble to disable posts through the web interface. We reconfigured the Jackrabbit entry on Ohloh to get code statistics from the Git mirror at git.apache.org since the svn history seen by Ohloh didn't include the time when Jackrabbit was still incubating.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases The big news this quarter is the release of Jackrabbit 1.6.0: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.6.0 on August 11th The following patch releases were made from earlier maintenance branches: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.7 on August 3rd * jackrabbit-core 1.4.10 on September 15th We made two internal releases of the Jackrabbit parent POM: * org.apache.jackrabbit:parent:3 on June 26th * org.apache.jackrabbit:parent:4 on September 15th We also continued releasing Jackrabbit 2.0 alphas: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha3 on July 3rd * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha4 on July 14th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha7 on August 10th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha8 on August 18th * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha9 on August 26th o Legal We have asked (see LEGAL-50) the legal team to review the terms under which we are redistributing the JCR API jar. The purpose of this is to complete the legal records, and this issue is not a blocker to our current releases. Recent legal discussions regarding the contents of the NOTICE files (see for example LEGAL-62) suggest that we have been including some unnecessary information in our NOTICEs. We will review our NOTICE files before the 2.0 release to comply with the consensus on legal-discuss@. o Community / Development Sébastien Launay joined the Jackrabbit team as a committer and PMC member. With the 1.6 release our JCR 1.0 work has entered maintenance mode and we're focusing on releasing Jackrabbit 2.0 shortly after JCR 2.0 becomes available. We reached JCR 2.0 feature-completeness with the 2.0 alpha9 release, and that release was also used for the JCR 2.0 RI and TCK candidates. The JSR 283 final approval ballot has just passed, and we expect the final JCR 2.0 release to follow soon. The main author of the JCROM project that implements an alternative to the Jackrabbit OCM (object content mapping) component contacted us about bringing the JCROM code to Jackrabbit and possibly merging with our existing OCM code. o Infrastructure We are now using the Nexus server at repository.apache.org for staging and deploying our releases to the central Maven repository. The monthly Google Analytics reports we set up earlier this year don't seem to be reaching the dev@ list anymore. To work around this we're now sharing the reports via svn and our web site.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We made the following releases from the 1.5 branch: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.4 on April 7th * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.5 on April 28th * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.6 on June 4th We also made the first alpha release of the upcoming Jackrabbit 2.0: * Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha1 on June 4th o Legal The current Jackrabbit trunk and the 2.0 alpha1 release have a system dependency to an early "for review only" version of the JCR 2.0 API jar from JSR 283. No major concerns were raised when this case was discussed on the legal-discuss@ mailing list. o Community / Development Jackrabbit was present at the ApacheCon EU where we also organized a quite successful JCR meetup. The CMIS effort that started in the Jackrabbit sandbox has now become the Apache Chemistry project in the Incubator. The other podling with Jackrabbit as the sponsoring PMC, Apache Sling, is just about to graduate into a standalone TLP. The JCR 2.0 specification (JSR 283) is expected to become final in a few months, as soon as we've completed the required RI and TCK work in Jackrabbit trunk. We're producing source-only alpha releases of the 2.0 codebase to give people a chance to review all the new features and to better track our progress. We are also planning to release Jackrabbit 1.6 as the last minor release from the 1.x branch that's still based on the JCR 1.0 API. o Infrastructure We are about to start using the Nexus installation at repository.apache.org for staging and deploying our releases to the Maven repository.
Again: any noteworthy regarding the release that the PRC can help with? Jukka to pursue.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We made the following two releases from the 1.5 branch: * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.2 on January 20th * Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.3 on February 27th The 1.5.2 release contained a fix to the security issue CVE-2009-0026 (Cross site scripting issues in webapp). This was the first security issue we had received through security@, and we had some initial confusion on how we should react to such issues. The security team was very helpful in guiding us. We also made the following component releases from the older 1.4 branch: * jackrabbit-core 1.4.7 on January 20th * jackrabbit-core 1.4.8 on January 29th * jackrabbit-core 1.4.9 on March 3rd To get the JCR Commons subproject started we created and released a standalone Jackrabbit parent POM: * org.apache.jackrabbit:parent:2 on February 6th o Legal No issues at the moment. o Community / Development Michael Duerig joined the Jackrabbit team as a committer and PMC member. The JCR Commons subproject was started after related discussion and a vote. We are still in the process of setting up this new subproject. To respond to earlier feedback from the board: we decided *not* to move these components to Apache Commons to avoid splitting the development community. There is continuous interest in the JCR-based CMIS implementation we are developing in our sandbox. Florent Guillaume, who is not (yet) an Apache committer, is working on a related codebase in an external Mercurial repository under the working name "Chemistry". There are concerns over the development being split over different source repositories. For now we hope to bring all development into Apache svn and plan to manage the effort as organic growth within the Jackrabbit project, possibly targetting a subproject once the effort matures. Another option is to push the effort to the Incubator as a new podling. Starting with the 1.5.3 release our release notes include a section that acknowledges everyone who has contributed to that release. The contents of this section is based on the contribution report in Jira. Work in Jackrabbit trunk continues and I expect us to release Jackrabbit 1.6.0 in a few months. After the 1.6 release we'll most likely start targeting Jackrabbit 2.0 for release later this year. Jackrabbit 2.0 will require Java 5 as the base platform. o Infrastructure We have migrated our Hudson CI builds to the new minerva.apache.org slave server. The CI builds are now configured to deploy snapshots to the new repository.apache.org server. We are planning to start using the repository.apache.org server also for staging Maven releases. The Jackrabbit zone that we used earlier for CI builds is being removed as we no longer need it. We have configured monthly Google Analytics reports to be sent to our development mailing lists. This is not truly optimal as each report needs to be separately approved by a moderator (due to the variable sender address), but for now this works well enough as a mechanism of sharing site statistics with everyone interested.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We released Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.0 on December 8th. We also made the following patch releases from the 1.4 branch: * jackrabbit-core 1.4.6 on October 7th * jackrabbit-classloader 1.4.1 on October 2nd * jackrabbit-jcr-server 1.4.1 on September 30th o Legal We use Google Analytics to track usage of our web site. We posted a privacy policy that mentions the Analytics use on our web site and continue to work with legal-discuss@ to resolve concerns that were raised about the use of Google Analytics. o Community Claus Koell joined the Jackrabbit team as a committer and PMC member. The slump in community activity over late summer seems to be gone and we're back to normal levels of mailing list and commit activity. Based on interest to the CMIS implementation effort (see below), we have extended write access in our sandbox area in svn to all Apache committers. We are considering starting a "JCR Commons" subproject for managing the development and release of a number of our components that are not tightly coupled with the Jackrabbit content repository implementation. This subproject would keep using our existing mailing lists but would have its own web site (under http://jackrabbit.apache.org/commons/) and separate issue trackers and release cycles for each component. See http://markmail.org/message/qqlvlwpgi5oauak6 for more details. o Development Development in trunk continues with post-1.5 features, and I expect us to release Jackrabbit 1.6 early next year. Jackrabbit 2.0 (and the JSR 283 reference implementation) will probably be released later next year. A new sandbox component was started for an effort to implement the proposed Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification on top of a JCR content repository. o Infrastructure We created a new Jira project (JCRCMIS) for the CMIS implementation effort and plan to create more assuming the JCR Commons subproject gets started. We've enabled wiki markup and the patch-available workflow in the JCRCMIS project. If these features work well, we will enable them also in our main JCR project in Jira.
No identified concerns over "indemnify and hold harmless" clause.
The board is very happy with the initiative taken to publish a privacy policy.
We noted that Apache Commons is an option available to them, should they wish to explore that alternative.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases No releases were made since the last report. o Legal We use Google Analytics to track usage of our web site. We are working with site-dev@ and legal-discuss@ to resolve the recent concerns about how the site usage data can be made available equally to everyone. o Community No new committers or PMC members were added since the last report. There has been a decrease in mailing list and commit activity in the past quarter and we've seen some cases of issues or questions being dropped. This is partly because of the summer vacations but also due to a number of core committers having been otherwise occupied. We'll keep an eye on the situation and expect things to normalize soon. We will participate and present Apache Jackrabbit in the upcoming ApacheCon US. o Development We keep working towards Jackrabbit 1.5 in near future and Jackrabbit 2.0 (and the JSR 283 reference implementation) later on. o Infrastructure No issues at the moment.
Henning to communicate that every project that uses Google Analytics needs to have a published privacy policy.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Since the last report we made a number of small component releases and one older maintenance release. The releases were: * March 26, 2008: jackrabbit-core 1.4.2 * April 2, 2008: jackrabbit-jcr-commons 1.4.2 * April 9, 2008: jakcrabbit-jcr-rmi 1.4.1 * May 8, 2008: Apache Jackrabbit 1.3.4 * May 8, 2008: jackrabbit-core 1.4.3 * May 9, 2008: jackrabbit-core 1.4.4 * June 9, 2008: jackrabbit-core 1.4.5 o Legal The license issue noted in the previous report (external party using our code without proper attribution) has been resolved. We have been clarifying our LICENSE and NOTICE files based on recent discussions on legal-discuss@ and the incubating sling-dev@ mailing lists. o Community Esteban Franqueiro and Alexander Klimetschek became committers and PMC members of Apache Jackrabbit. Many members of our community attended ApacheCon EU and we also organized a free-for-everyone JCR community gathering along the conference. o Development We are working towards Jackrabbit 1.5 in near future and Jackrabbit 2.0 (and the JSR 283 reference implementation) later on. o Infrastructure We switched to Hudson for our CI builds. We requested and got FishEye indexing for our codebase. The svn.eu.apache.org mirror is much appreciated as most of our committers are based in Europe.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Apache Jackrabbit 1.4 was released in January. We are considering switching to releasing individual components in a more frequent and fine-grained manner. So far Jackrabbit releases have contained new versions of all Jackrabbit components. The first component release, jackrabbit-core 1.4.1, was made in February. o Legal Apache Jackrabbit uses or bundles no cryptographic code, so there is no need for export control notifications. We have identified a minor license violation by an external party bundling Jackrabbit code without meeting all the ALv2 requirements (no NOTICE file, etc.). With help from the legal team, we have notified the party in question and expect the issue to be resolved soon. o Community The Jackrabbit PMC has voted to invite Esteban Franqueiro to be a Jackrabbit committer and PMC member. We are waiting for the CLA to proceed with the committer account and other administrative bits. We are planning to have a JCR community gathering event right next to the ApacheCon EU next month in Amsterdam. o Development The 1.4 release was well received, and with increased usage we've also seen many requests to make the default installation and out-of-the-box experience smoother for new users. We're working on addressing those needs. The ongoing work towards the JCR 2.0 reference implementation continues, and with major new features and changes entering the codebase we may see some instability of the trunk during the months ahead. On the other hand there's recently been much focus on improving test coverage and more test automation, which should help us maintain stability of the codebase. Some of our users are not yet ready to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4, so we are working on the 1.3 maintenance branch to produce a 1.3.4 release with selected bug fixes and improvements from newer releases. o Infrastructure Our web site is now managed using Confluence. We have had problems with our private Continuum installation in the Jackrabbit zone, and so we are currently migrating our CI builds to the Hudson zone.
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Apache Jackrabbit 1.3.3 was released in October. We are currently working on the 1.4 release. Jackrabbit 2.0, with JCR 2.0 support, will likely be released next year. o Community Martijn Hendriks and Ard Schrijvers were added as a committers and PMC members. The recent decision by the Apache Jakarta PMC to close the Slide project has brought a number of people interested in WebDAV to the Jackrabbit mailing lists. Most notably there is interest in extending and further developing the WebDAV client library in Jackrabbit. We may well end up working together with the new Apache HttpComponents project on this front. o Development The main development focus at the moment it on the 1.4 release, but there's already some work towards implementing the new JCR 2.0 features being specified by Jsr 283. Once the 1.4 release is out we will need to decide when and how to split Jackrabbit into separate JCR 2.0 development and JCR 1.0 maintenance branches. A sandbox project was started for prototyping the Jackrabbit Next Generation Persistence proposal that tries to address some long term architectural issues in Jackrabbit. o Infrastructure We have acquired a Confluence wiki space for managing our project web site but we have yet to migrate the web site contents.

Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Apache Jackrabbit 1.3.1 was released in July. We are currently working on the 1.4 release, due out later this year. Jackrabbit 2.0, with JCR 2.0 support, will likely be released next year. o Community Christoph Kiehl and Thomas Müller were added as a committers and PMC members. Brian Moseley resigned to emeritus status. The Jackrabbit PMC decided to sponsor the new incubating Sling project. There is lots of community overlap and interest in seeing more open source tools built on top of the JCR API. Our two Google Summer of Code projects ended successfully, even though the amount of community interaction related to the projects was lower than expected. The resulting JCR example applications will be used as a part of Jackrabbit documentation. There will be a JCR session in ApacheCon US, and JCR training (assuming enough attendance) in both ApacheCon US and OS Summit Asia. The Sling project will also be presented. o Development We are seeing lots of development related especially to query features and a new storage model for binary content. There has also been interest in threads and locking behaviour within Jackrabbit core. We are promoting two prominent subprojects, the OCM and SPI layers, to release components in Jackrabbit 1.4. JSR 283 has released the public draft of the upcoming JCR 2.0 specification, and we have started working on implementing the new new features. The goal is to make Jackrabbit 2.0 (or an early snapshot of the release) the reference implementation of JSR 283. o Infrastructure We are considering switching from MoinMoin to Confluence for our wiki and using Confluence to manage also our official web site.

Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases Apache Jackrabbit 1.3 was released in April. We are currently working on the 1.3.1 release, and initial planning for a 1.4 release later this year and 2.0 next year has begun. o Community Christophe Lombart was added as a committer and PMC member. An object-content mapping tool was successfully moved from the incubating Graffito project into a Jackrabbit subproject. Jackrabbit received lots of attention in ApacheCon EU where we had one tutorial and one normal session on Jackrabbit and JCR. A Jackrabbit BOF session also took place, although it ended up being quite unstructured. We have two Google Summer of Code projects in progress this summer. Both projects have been relatively quiet so far, but hopefully we'll get them up to speed soon. Jacco van Weert has announced a nice JCR Controller tool on the user mailing list and is interested in bringing it to Jackrabbit through the Apache Incubator. o Development Jackrabbit is being actively developed on a number of fronts. Increasing numbers of good patches are coming in, and various technical and architectural issues are being actively debated on the mailing lists. The public draft of the upcoming JCR 2.0 specification will probably be soon released by JSR 283. We are planning to use the public draft as the main requirements document when implementing the changes and new features required to make Jackrabbit 2.0 the reference implementation of JSR 283.
It was suggested that, following the Jackrabbit example (which was from the Incubator report guidelines), that all TLP projects provide a small description of what the TLP "does".

Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project is in good shape. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We released three versions of Apache Jackrabbit; 1.2.1 in January, 1.2.2 in February, and 1.2.3 in March. The 1.2 release candidate needed to be cancelled and repackaged as 1.2.1 due to a last-minute issue that was raised during the release vote. This prompted a discussion on release candidates and versioning, which in turn resulted in some improvements to our release process. We are currently working on the 1.3 release. o Community Przemyslaw Pakulski was added as a committer and PMC member. The user mailing list that was launched last year has reached the activity level of the development list and continues steady growth. The total mailing list activity is now higher than ever before. One session and one tutorial on JCR/Jackrabbit have been scheduled for the upcoming ApacheCon EU. We are also planning to organize a Jackrabbit BOF during the conference. Based on the experiences from last summer, we are proposing a Google Summer of Code 2007 project to build a JCR demo application based on Apache Jackrabbit. There is interest in starting a new incubating content analysis toolkit project named Tika. Hopefully the project will as a side effect build more bridges between the Lucene and Jackrabbit communities. o Development The 1.2 releases include a new beta-level clustering feature that is attracting much interest. Many corner cases are being ironed out based on feedback and bug reports from the user community, and it seems that we can soon declare the feature stable. The main new feature in the 1.3 release is a set of "bundle persistence manager" components contributed by Day. These components bring a major performance boost to many Jackrabbit user cases. The contributed IP has been cleared and is now being integrated into the Jackrabbit codebase. There have been a number of cases where users have suggested some internal changes to better handle specific performance and other requirements. Unfortunately few of such discussions have resulted in proposed patches. We should do better to encourage patch submissions. o Infrastructure The Solaris zone we requested is now up and running. We have a Continuum installation doing nightly builds and continuous integration tests for all the Jackrabbit release components. So far we've seen zero build-breaking commits.

Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170). The Apache Jackrabbit project has progressed nicely since the September status report. We have no board-level issues at this time. o Releases We have released two versions of Apache Jackrabbit: 1.1 in October and 1.1.1 in December. The 1.2 release is scheduled to happen by the end of the year. o Community No new committers have been added since September. One contributor was just elected for committership, but the process is still pending on us receiving the required CLAs. The number of active contributors has grown lately, and I expect to see new committers being elected in near future. Most notably we've seen a number of contributions from employees of Cognifide, a consulting company with JCR expertise. A CCLA has been requested. There were two short Apache Jackrabbit presentations during the ApacheCon US and some discussion on potential cooperation with other related Apache projects. o Development The Jackrabbit build environment was recently upgraded to Maven 2 along with a restructuring of the Jackrabbit component projects. An initial clustering implementation was added to Jackrabbit core and will go out as a beta feature in the 1.2 release. The Jackrabbit dependencies to Apache Lucene and Apache Derby were upgraded to more recent versions. A number of forward-looking design discussions have occurred on the mailing list, often based on feedback from outside the core development group. o Infrastructure We've requested a Solaris zone for setting up nightly builds and automating integration tests and Maven reporting.

The Apache Jackrabbit project has progressed steadily since our last status report. We have no board-level issues at this time. o We voted in Julian Reschke as a new committer and PMC member. o The Apache Jackrabbit 1.1 release is scheduled to happen at the end of September. o The recent face-lift of our web site received some attention due to the "customized" Apache feather logo included in the design. The issue was discussed within the PRC and for now we are back to using the standard Apache logo to link back to the foundation. o Day Software has contributed an initial SPI layer for the JCR API based on earlier work within the JSR 283 expert group. The ongoing SPI effort has potential to clarify and better modularize the Jackrabbit core. o We have discussed with the incubating Apache Graffito project on perhaps moving the generic object-content mapping tool they are developing into the Apache Jackrabbit project where the tool could enjoy a wider community of interested users and developers. The feedback within both projects has been positive. o Our Google Summer of Code project ended successfully with a backup tool that implements almost all of the planned features. The missing feature (restoring version histories) identified a need for structural changes within the Jackrabbit core and we are working on solving this issue. The GSoC experience also sparked a good discussion on the policies of accepting code changes.
Justin asked if the contribution for SPI recorded as a grant? Jim noted that we had not received a software grant for the code, but that Day Software does have a CCLA on file. Greg was to contact the PMC to get clarification on whether the SPI contribution required a grant.
At this point Justin asked if the ASF should have a policy on moving code between projects? It was noted that the Apache License allows for any PMC to use code in any other PMCs codebase, since it is assigned to the ASF and not to a PMC. Cliff noted that there is ongoing discussion regarding the scope of patents in this case, and what is meant by "the work" when code is copied or moved. Cliff will continue to work this patent angle, but the board agreed that we have no policy in place other than all code is available for reuse by all PMCs, which is implicit and implied in the license.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Roy T. Fielding to the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Roy T. Fielding from the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Roy T. Fielding is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Jukka Zitting be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit, 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 6A, Change the Chair of the Jackrabbit PMC, was approved by Unanimous Vote.
The Apache Jackrabbit project has had a relatively quiet two months since our last report. We have not added any new committers and we have no board issues at this time. We successfully released Apache Jackrabbit 1.0.1 on June 2nd and are currently working on a 1.1 release. Most of the effort has been around cleaning up the edge cases as more new developers send in bug reports related to their own application's use of the 1.0 release. We also have one active SoC project working on a backup system for JCR repositories. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more patches soon from developers outside the core committers. I would be happier if we had some new blood to nominate for the PMC. At some point over the next two months, I am hoping to turn over the Jackrabbit PMC chair position to someone else on the project. Being chair of two different projects is a bit too distracting and I think more people need to learn how to do it.
Tabled due to time constraints.
The Apache Jackrabbit project has had a relatively quiet month since our last report. We have no board issues at this time. The response to our 1.0 release has been very positive and the number of active participants on the dev list has increased substantially. Many of the Jackrabbit developers attended the JSR 283 face-to-face meeting in Basel, Switzerland, on May 2-3. The JSR 283 EG agreed that Jukka Zitting could publish a summary of what was being planned for future JCR API revisions to the public Apache lists. Issue items and proposals for the JCR 1.1 and 2.0 APIs are being tracked at <https://jsr-283.dev.java.net/>. All of the Jackrabbit committers are also members of the JSR 283 expert group.

Over the past month, Apache Jackrabbit completed its graduation from incubator, moved to its new home at jackrabbit.apache.org, and made our big 1.0 release using the mirrors. http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ http://www.apache.org/dist/jackrabbit/RELEASE-NOTES.txt The only thing of board interest is that we have implemented the file header proposed on legal-discuss last year. /* * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more * contributor license agreements.

6. Special Orders
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software related to the Content Repository for Java Technology API and its implementation as the Apache Jackrabbit content repository, for distribution at no charge to the public. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Jackrabbit PMC", be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Apache Jackrabbit PMC be and hereby is responsible for the creation and maintenance of open-source software and documentation related to the Content Repository for Java Technology API and its implementation as the Apache Jackrabbit content repository and tool sets, based on software licensed to the Foundation; and be it further RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache Jackrabbit" be and hereby is created, the person holding such office to serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair of the Apache Jackrabbit PMC, and to have primary responsibility for management of the projects within the scope of responsibility of the Apache Jackrabbit PMC; and be it further RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the Apache Jackrabbit PMC: Tobias Bocanegra <tobias.bocanegra@day.com> Roy T.

Fielding be appointed to the office of Vice President, Jackrabbit, 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; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Apache Jackrabbit PMC be and hereby is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to encourage open development and increased participation in the Apache Jackrabbit Project; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Apache Incubator PMC shall, upon deciding that the Jackrabbit incubating project has graduated, transfer all oversight and responsibility for the Jackrabbit incubating project and its artifacts to the Apache Jackrabbit PMC. Resolution 6A, Establish the Apache Jackrabbit Project, was approved by Unanimous Vote.
Jackrabbit accomplished its first official incubating release with version 0.9 of the Apache Jackrabbit reference implementation and JCR-RMI tools. Day Software has confirmed that the version 0.9 jars have passed the JCR 1.0 TCK with the current exclude list. We are now getting reorganized for graduation from the Incubator to our own top-level project at the Apache Software Foundation. The Jackrabbit committers voted on March 11, 2006, to request graduation. In addition, we made a call to refresh the list of active committers for an accurate presentation to the board; Stefano Mazzocchi, Gianugo Rabellino, Tim Reilly, and Andrew Savory have requested emeritus status, meaning that they won't be listed on the initial project management committee but are welcome to come back if they choose to rejoin the project at a later time.
Jackrabbit added four new committers to the project this quarter: Serge Huber Felix Meschberger Brian Moseley Angela Schreiber in recognition of their outstanding and sustained contributions to the project. Jukka Zitting has volunteered to be the RM for our first set of incubating releases. We plan to seek graduation from incubator as soon as we have a track record for a successful release vote.
The Apache Jackrabbit podling is slowly recovering from the impact of finalizing JSR 170, initializing JSR 283 (the next JCR specification revision EG), and the summer holiday schedule. We are in the process of reconfiguring our source directories for an eventual 1.0 release and Maven 2 support. No new committers were added this quarter, though we expect more to be added soon.
Jackrabbit has attracted public interest from many different projects, both open source and commercial in nature, and has over 250 people reading the developer list. During the past quarter we added one new committer, Edgar Poce, and cleared the minimum threshold of three independent committers. The big news is that JCR, the Content Repository for Java Technology 1.0 API, has been completed by the JSR 170 expert group and received final approval from the J2SE/EE executive committee at the end of May. We are currently working on restructuring the Jackrabbit project directories in preparation of an eagerly anticipated first release candidate and passing the official TCK, at which point we are hoping to graduate from Incubator to TLP status for the 1.0 release.
http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/ http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jackrabbit.html Jackrabbit is doing well as a project and is attracting interest both within other Apache projects (Lenya and Graffito in particular) as well as from new folks in the Java community. We added two new committers, Jukka Zitting and Dominique Pfister, and have received sustained contributions from Serge Huber, Edgar Poce, Angela Schreiber, Felix Meschberger, and others. Jackrabbit's only problem right now is continued reliance on JCP EG private discussions due to the unfinished nature of the JSR 170 Content Repository for Java Technology API. JSR 170 is expected to be submitted for final draft status in early May, after which all of the discussion can be moved to Apache lists. We anticipate graduating from Incubator sometime soon after that.
The Jackrabbit project has completed all of the Incubator checklist items in terms of moving to Apache and getting the IP transfer done. With the help of Maven, we have a full website set up at http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/ with a few link bugs due to the svn/viewcvs integration. Our big task from now to graduation is to get the community more involved in development, planning features, integrating with some of the DB projects, and scoping out interesting applications to build on top of the interface.
