DESCRIPTION Oltu is a project to develop a Java library which provides an API
specification for, and an unconditionally compliant implementation of the
OAuth v2.0 specifications. OAuth is a mechanism that allows users to
authenticate and authorize access by another party to resources they control
while avoiding the need to share their username and password credentials.

MILESTONES Apache Oltu 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014. Release Apache Oltu
Auth2 JWT 1.0.3 on 13/02/2017

CURRENT ACTIVITY The activity of the project is really really low. One of the
reason is also due the fact OAuth is a protocol that is pretty stable. The
other reason is that the team members that are active are busy/demotivated.

I proposed to bring new blood in the PMC by rotating the Chair position but no
one seemed to be interested. I do not know if you want to consider the option
to move to attic or not. My personal view is that nobody of the current
PMC/committer has time/interest for this project anymore. Said that I guess
that Oltu might still used by someone out there. The problem is that even if
people created issues and even proposed patches nobody of us
(included myself) reacted to it.

COMMUNITY Last new addition tot the team are 2 PMC members: Stein Welberg and
Jasha Joachimsthal in June 2016  (13/06/2016)

ISSUES There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Attachment BX: Report from the Apache Serf Project  [Bert Huijben]

## Description:
 The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library
 built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. Serf is the
 default client library of Apache Subversion, Apache OpenOffice and
 mod_pagespeed.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 There hasn't been much activity over the last few months, but in the
 last few weeks a number of network test scenarios were run for
 Subversion, which found a few minor issues in older versions. The
 patches for these issues are already backported to the maintenance
 branches. We expect that we will put out a new release with these
 fixes within a few weeks.

## Health report:
 Activity is at a normal, fairly quiet level.

 The serf project's activity is quite related to that of Subversion
 and with that projects recent affairs we slowed more than expected.

## PMC & Committer changes:
 Currently 12 PMC members and 13 committers. We added Evgeny Kotkov
 as Committer and PMC member this April.

## Releases:
 Apache Serf 1.3.9 was released on Thu Sep 01 2016

## Mailing list and Jira activity:
 Normal slow activity.

Apache Oltu 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014.

Release Apache Oltu Auth2 JWT 1.0.3 on 13/02/2017


CURRENT ACTIVITY

The activity of the project is really really low. One of the reason is also
due the fact OAuth is a protocol that is pretty stable. The other reason is
that the team members that are active are busy/demotivated.

Said that lately we had an issue with the Jenkins build that have been sorted
out after few days. We release last module in February 2017.

In the last report in February some problem has been highlighted:

The last few months it has been awfully quiet (this might also be due the fact
the OAuth spec is stable). But not only, since we have some patches laying
around for a while

The release has not been finished. It seems some of the artifacts are not
synched correctly in https://www.apache.org/dist/oltu

The builds keep failing

As far as I know 2. and 3. are resolved now. But 1. still persists.

I proposed to bring new blood in the PMC by rotating the Chair position but no
one seemed to be interested.

Apache Oltu Parent v4 was released June 20th 2016.


CURRENT ACTIVITY

The core part of the project related to 'The OAuth 2.0 Authorization
Framework' (RFC 6749) is pretty stable due the fact RFC 6749 is now a
standard. A stable version 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014 and some minor
releases are going out regularly for bug fixing. Updated modules contained bug
fixing were released June 20th 2016 . Vote for releasing JWT 1.0.3 is in
progress.

At the moment we are working on JSON Web Encryption support ( OLTU-80 -
Implement JWE support for JWT IN PROGRESS ).
In a recent mail thread in private@ some important things have been pointed
out:

The last few months it has been awfully quiet (this might also be due the fact

One of the outcome was that embracing the Apache way of having new blood from
time to time we are going to rotate the VP for the project. Hence I proposed
to step down from my role of chair. Unluckily at the moment nobody seems to be
keen  to take this responsibility. For this reason I will keep my role of
chair for now.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

The core part of the project related to 'The OAuth 2.0 Authorization
Framework' (RFC 6749) is pretty stable due the fact RFC 6749 is now a
standard.

A stable version 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014 and some minor releases
are going out regularly for bug fixing. The current intention is to extend the
coverage to the JWE (started in OLTU-80)

- Implement JWE support for JWT In Progress ). We completed the "Handling
 Cryptography" process (http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html) in
 OLTU-162 - Handling Cryptography within OLTU Release Resolved .

Users activity is growing slowly but steadily (the user@ mailing list has got
new messages from new users). We got quite some feedbacks from users (included
patches).  The answer from Oltu dev seems to be a bit slow though. The overall
coding activity is also slow. The reason might also be the fact the OAuth
specification is stable for a while (being an RFC) hence also the code is
stable. I have sent an email to dev@ in order to encourage people to engage
more on reported bugs. I will report next time with the outcome.

DESCRIPTION

Oltu is a project to develop a Java library which provides an API
specification for, and an unconditionally compliant implementation of the
OAuth v2.0 specifications. OAuth is a mechanism that allows users to
authenticate and authorise access by another party to resources they
control while avoiding the need to share their username and password
credentials.

MILESTONES

Oltu graduated from the Apache Incubator on January 16, 2013. Since
then, there have been no new releases.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

The "After graduation tasks" are about to be completed. We have been
following the instruction as for
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#transfer. We are
tracking our progress in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5772
and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBER-76; The previous INFRA
blocker (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5777) about JIRA
migration has not been resolved. We successfully migrated all our issues
to the new OLTU's JIRA We have also migrated and updated the wiki and the
website development activity is healthy we started also to implement
OpenId Connect and JWT specifications, new contributors are emerging as
potential new committers; users activity is almost quiet.

the OAuth v2.0 specifications.  OAuth is a mechanism that allows users
to authenticate and authorise access by another party to resources
they control while avoiding the need to share their username and
password credentials.

MILESTONES

Oltu graduated from the Apache Incubator on January 16, 2013. Since
then, there have been no new releases.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

* the main activity at the moment is related to the "After graduation
tasks". We have been following the instruction as for
[http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#transfer].

* We are tracking our progress in
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5772] and
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBER-76];

* development is freezed because of
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5777]; we would rather
continue tracking issues on AMBER as soon as possible in order to
avoid any confusion in our community; As long as we understood rename
of a JIRA project is not possible but it would be nice to have at
least a new JIRA project named OLTU.

* we have been discussing the possible synergy between Apache Oltu and
other Apache projects (e.g. CXF)

* development activity is healthy, new contributors are emerging as
potential new committers;

* users activity is almost quiet.

Amber has been incubating since July 2010. Amber is a project to develop
a Java library which provides an API specification for, and an unconditionally
compliant implementation of the OAuth v1.0, v1.0a and v2.0 specifications.
OAuth is a mechanism that allows users to authenticate and authorise access
by another party to resources they control while avoiding the need to share
their username and password credentials.

A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation

 - Attract users and developers
 - Start to execute the graduation plan

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?

 - No particularly issues at the moment

How has the community developed since the last report?

 New users / devs show up on the mailing lists both contributing patches and
 asking for guidance/release.

How has the project developed since the last report

 After the Amber first release (amber-0.22-incubating) seems that the
 community has taken a little hiatus. Next challenge is to comply against
 the just released RFC 6749 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749). Since the
 last report we fixed some issues for aligning with latest OAuth
 specification.

IPMC comments:
 wave: I think that Amber is ready to graduate - the traffic on the ML is
       down but indicates that some might use Amber if it were a TLP. I see
       starts to the process, I think that the mentors just need to give the
       podling some nudges. Some status updates to the mentor lists and
       sign-offs are in order as well.

 Fraunhofer AISEC decided to donate their UMA implementation based on
 OAuth 2.0
(http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Fraunhofer+AISEC+Implementation+FAQ)
 to Amber (see AMBER-57). Amber PPMCs are evaluating how to move forward.

How has the project developed since the last report

 - The legal issue that slowed down the project significantly has been
   finally solved, see LEGAL-134
 - Fixed a bunch of issues for aligning with latest OAuth specification
 - amber-0.22-incubating (Amber first release) has been officially approved
   and ready to be used.

Signed-off-by: Raymond Feng (rfeng), mfranklin, jukka
IPMC comments:
mfranklin: Everything looks good with community & project. Status page needs
           to be updated and all items signed off before graduation.
    jukka: Congratulations on the release and especially on successfully
           navigating through the legal issue!
