-- New releases -- none -- New committers -- none -- Status -- After a long release cycle for all sub-projects ending last quarter, we are now gaining momentum working towards the next set of releases. 1. Pluto 2.0.1 - bug fix release, no release date scheduled 2. Jetspeed 2.2.1 - Post release commit activity has picking up in August and September. Activity on the users and dev lists has also been increasing recently. We have come across two important bugs that should be fixed, so we may consider a 2.2.1 release as a bug fix release. Development of new features for 2.2.1 (or 2.2.2), based on commits, is active including work on: * a new Navigational feature * toolbars * easy one click additions of pages and portlets * new aggregation and layout engine based to replace existing portal and client side aggregation engines * enhancements to PSML, JCR integration * reverse proxy support 3. Portals Applications 1.0 released on May 28, 2009 * gadget and netvibes widget integration * looking into integration with Wookie 4. WSRP/Incubator I saw some new activity on the legal list. In my opinion, we should move forward with development on this project despite legal issues.
-- New releases -- The Apache Portals team released three new Portals projects, all aligned to the new Portlet API 2.0 specification (JSR-286) on May 28, 2009: * Version 2.2.0 of the Jetspeed Enterprise Portal * Version 2.0.0 of the Pluto Container * Version 1.0 of several new Portals Applications -- New committers -- none -- Status -- 1. Pluto 2.0.0 released on May 28, 2009 Fully compliant to JSR-286 Portlet API 2.0 Specification Release Completed all work on Portlet 2.0 Specification compliance. Passing 2.0 TCK. Refactoring is completed. Jetspeed 2.2 and Pluto 2.0 are now back in full alignment of trunks. Post release commit activity has slowed down, to be expected, people worked hard on putting out this release. Activity on the users and dev lists has been moderate. The release seems stable, only a few problems reported. 2. Jetspeed 2.2.0 released on May 28, 2009 The most important effort of this release was JSR-286 (Portlet 2.0) conformance. Major New Features include: * Portlet API 2.0 Support and Compliance * Inter-Portlet Communication via Events * New High Speed Preferences Database Storage * New Extensible Security Model with LDAP Synchronization * Improved Documentation including 5 New Guides (Users Guide, Admin Guide, Developers Guide, Build Guide, Deploy Guide) * New Improved Administrative Portlets * New Skins * New Maven-2 Custom Build * Improved integration support for popular web development frameworks like Wicket, Spring MVC, JSF, and Struts Post release commit activity has slowed down, to be expected, people worked hard on putting out this release. Activity on the users and dev lists has been lower than expected. The release seems stable, only a few problems reported, mostly related to Maven build. We are working on a Roadmap for the 2.2.1 release and expect development to pickup heavily over the next few weeks. 3. Portals Applications 1.0 released on May 28, 2009 (I'll explain what this project is, since its a new, 1.0 release) Apache Portals Applications (APA) is a new collaborative software development project existing under the Apache Portals project. APA is dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available Portlet Applications under the Apache license developed at the Apache Software Foundation. The APA project releases 1.0 versions of the following Portlet Applications and components, all targeted at the Portlet Specification 2.0 (JR-286): * Gems - A collection of reusable portlets including Flash, Google Maps, File, Event and Browser portlets. * Database Browser - A portlet application dedicated to the development and database portlet development including scrollable lists and data entry forms * Demo - A portlet application dedicated to learning Java and Groovy portlet programming and tutorials, as well as some helpful weather and bookmark portlets * RSS - A portlet application dedicated to the development of RSS portlet features * Web Content - A portlet application dedicated to the development of Web Content rewriting and IFrame based web content. * Logging - Apache Portals Applications Logging, (APA Logging), is a utility library used to setup and deploy logging to portlet applications Post release commit activity has slowed down, to be expected, people worked hard on putting out this release. Activity on the users and dev lists has been almost non-existent. The release seems stable, no problems reported. We expect development to continue on some of these sub-projects, but in my opinion we need to improve the community by getting more vendors and end users involved. IMO, the problem is that the Portlet API just hasn't received as much acceptance as anticipated. I believe we should look into supporting more accepted portal and mash-up standards relevant to our project's charter such as Gadgets. 4. Conformed to Maven/Nexus standards at Apache The release process took a lot longer than usual this time around. Our goal was to cleanup and improve our release process, and align with and learn from other projects at Apache. We invited developers from Geronimo and Maven to review our release process, and help us improve the process. We used Nexus to manage our Maven repositories at Apache. We hit a few bugs with Nexus that slowed us down on the first release, but once we got past that, the two other releases went quickly. Nexus really helps.
Status report for the Apache Portals Project -- March 18, 2008 -- New releases -- none -- New committers -- none -- Status -- 1. Pluto JSR-286 Portlet API 2.0 Specification Release Completed all work on Portlet 2.0 Specification compliance. Passing 2.0 TCK. Refactoring is completed. The Pluto 2.0 SPI refactoring branch was merged back into trunk. Jetspeed 2.2 and Pluto 2.0 are now back in full alignment of trunks. The release of Pluto is scheduled for within a few weeks, hopefully by end of March. 2. Apache Con, Portals meetup We have scheduled a meetup in Amsterdam with Wicket, Jackrabbit teams 3. Jetspeed-2 Reaching end of long overdue 2.2 release. Hope to release within next month. We have thus far completed: * a new Maven build * new extensible security model * LDAP synchronization * new documentation guides (Admin, Users,Deploy, Dev) * 90% of Pluto integration of JSR-286 Portlet 2.0 compliance * Rewrite of Preferences component Still to be completed in next few weeks * Final integration with Pluto * implementing all Portlet 2.0 features, pass TCK * JPA integration. JPA will be replacing OJB as ORM * Administrative portlets rewritten in Wicket * New Jetspeed skins 4. Portals Applications We are working towards the first release of Portals Applications, hopefully within the next month. A few applications are ready for releasing including RSS, DB Browser, and a Portlet Suite with a scheduler, address book, google gadgets, netvibes widgets, timecard, message board. Some of these portlets are still in a sandbox and may not make the final release. 5. Conforming to Maven/Nexus standards at Apache We are now looking into using Nexus to manage our Maven repositories at Apache
David indicated that he will provide a report next month.
-- New releases -- none -- New committers -- none -- Status -- 1. Pluto Refactoring Completed. Jetspeed-2 and Pluto are now "in sync" in our respective trunks. This is a major accomplishment for the Portals project and should create a healthier environment for community. 2. Pluto JSR-286 Portlet API 2.0 Specification Release Pluto now is passes the JSR-286 (Portlet API 2.0) compliance test. We hope to release a new version of Pluto and Jetspeed in the next quarter. 3. Apache Con, Portals meetup We met up in New Orleans. There were not as many committers from the project attending as we expected. Perhaps company budgets are affecting attendance. 4. Jetspeed-2 Merged with Pluto Refactoring branch complete. Security refactoring complete. The SSO component is now broken. We are also in the process of converting OJB to JPA. 2.2 is going to be a long-release in coming but it will set a foundation for future releases.
-- New releases -- Pluto 1.1.6 - Aug. 11, 2008 -- New committers -- none -- Status -- 1. Pluto Refactoring Work is in progress on the Pluto 2.0 SPI Refactoring branch. The goal of this branch is to bring Pluto trunk and Jetspeed trunk back in alignment. A little history: Pluto 1.x, a new architecture severely broke backward compatibility with the previous 1.0 API and SPI by replacing the container object model (OM) interfaces with directly and hard coded use of the new Deployment Descriptor based *classes*, and almost all SPI Factory interface usages have been replaced by direct and Pluto container internal (only) instantiation of singletons or Portlet API implementation classes. These changes "broke" Jetspeed, as it was coded to the more pluggable 1.0 API/SPI. To make a long story short, we hope to have the SPI Refactoring branch merged back in this summer and Jetspeed and Pluto back in alignment from the trunks. We hope to complete this work by ApacheCon. 2. Pluto JSR-286 Portlet API 2.0 Specification Release Work is also near completion on the Portlet API 2.0 specification implementation. One the Pluto Refactoring branch is ready, it will be merged in and we will work towards releasing a Portlet API 2.0 compliant release of Pluto. We hope to complete this work by ApacheCon. 3. Apache Con, Portals meetup We are planning another meetup for New Orleans, perhaps again with the Wicket team, like we did in Amsterdam 4. Jetspeed-2 Continued work towards a 2.2 release this summer and merging with the Pluto Refactoring branch when available. Lots of commits in the last two weeks on the security refactoring.

Apache Con, Portals meetup The Portals meetup at ApacheCon in Amsterdam was a success. 4. Jetspeed-2 Continued work towards a 2.2 release this summer and merging with the Pluto Refactoring branch when available. 5. WSRP-4J I am asking for your help with the WSRP4J project. I have discussed this with some of you on legal, but frankly I have not received much support. As reported in the March report, we sent letters to both IBM and Web Collage. Web Collage responded with a licensing contract that, in my opinion, requires legal consultation, before signing. IBM never responded. We really need to get this project out of incubation. But because of the licensing issues, we are stuck. I am asking the board to please help us clear up the licensing issues, and to provide us with Apache's legal council to help us solve the licensing issues.
-- New releases -- 29 December 2007 - Apache Portals Jetspeed 2.1.3 Released 29 December 2007 - Apache Portals Bridges 1.0.4 Released -- New committers -- Eric Dalquist Dennis Dam Vivek Kumar -- New PMC Members -- Woonsan Ko Dennis Dam Vivek Kumar Eric Dalquist We are working towards breaking down the perceived barriers between the Pluto and Jetspeed teams. We have scheduled a Portals meetup at ApacheCon in Amsterdam to try to create some synergy between the different portal vendors and open source developers involved in the Apache Portals project. -- The Apache Portals Applications sub-project was voted upon and accepted by the PMC. Apache Portals Applications (APA) is a collaborative software development project existing under the Apache Portals project. APA is dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available Portlet Applications under the Apache license developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Mission: To promote the use of open source portal technology at the application layer: writing open portlet applications. The scope of APA does not include the system layer of portal development, such as portals and containers like Jetspeed, Pluto, or WSRP. We view portlet applications as an important technology in the growing web applications environment. We intend to build freely available portlet application software in order to promote the use of this technology. After several years of Apache Portals providing portal and container software, we are finding that portal technology has reached limited success. We believe the cause to this limited success is the lack of usable, open source portlet applications. -- Voting has started on the Pluto 1.1.5 release and is in progress this week. Pluto is continuing working towards the Portlet 2.0 specification reference implementation. JSR-286 implementation is coming along at Pluto, integration with Jetspeed, at a design level, has started. -- Jetspeed: working towards a 2.2 release, new Maven build and documentation. -- The WSRP4J project is still problematic. I have discussed this on legal It was recommended that I, the Portals representative, send letters to both patent holders, IBM and Web Collage. Here is the letter sent to IBM: Dear Sir or Madam, I'm writing to request an IBM patent license in support of the OASIS WSRP Version 1 Specification, in accordance to the IPR claims from IBM as made available on the following website: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrp/ipr.php I'm requesting this patent license on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and as Vice President of the Apache Portals project, and in particular for the Apache WSRP4J project which is working towards a formal release of an OASIS WSRP Version 1 implementation under the Apache License 2.0. The Apache WSRP4J project was initiated by IBM and include an initial source code donation and a Software License Agreement by IBM representative Dirk Wittkopp, Manager Portal Development, on September 2nd 2003. Although the Software License Agreement covers a patent license for the donated source code itself, it is not complete clear to us if this fully covers all possible patent claims of IBM concerning the OASIS WSRP Version 1 Specification. To be sure our WSRP4J implementation won't be unintentionally infringing these IBM patent claims, we'd like to receive a nonexclusive, royalty free patent license for these patents in addition to the above mentioned Software License Agreement. Yours faithfully, David Sean Taylor VP Apache Portals and the letter to Web Collage: Dear Mr Natovich, I'm writing to request a WebCollage patent license in support of the OASIS WSRP Version 1 Specification, in accordance to the IPR claims from WebCollage as made available on the following website: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrp/ipr.php I'm requesting this patent license on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and as Vice President of the Apache Portals project, and in particular for the Apache WSRP4J project which is working towards a formal release of OASIS WSRP Version 1 implementation under the Apache License 2.0.
No new releases No new committers Jetspeed 2.1.3 and Bridges 1.0.4 releases have been delayed A RC is expected this week. A final release by January 2008 Pluto is continuing working towards the Portlet 2.0 specification reference implementation. JSR-286 implementation is coming along at Pluto, and we plan to integrate with it in Jetspeed in the 1st Quarter 2008. At ApacheCon, all Portals committers agreed in principal to starting the Portals Applications subproject at Apache Portals. The WSRP4J project is still problematic. I am trying to learn more about the licensing problems, and why this issue prohibits moving WSRP4J out of incubator Any help from legal is much appreciated as we have been stuck here for a long time now
Sam to find somebody on the legal committee to help David navigate the legal issues.

Special Order 6F, Change the Apache Portals Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote.
May 18 Pluto 1.1.3 was released. http://portals.apache.org/pluto/news.html The quest for a new Chair has ended. We invited all active committers to the Portals PMC, so that they could take part in the vote for a new chair. Two candidates were nominated on May 18: * David Sean Taylor * Carsten Ziegeler We agreed to have a secret vote, where all the people in the PMC sent their vote to Santiago Gala (outgoing chair). Henri Yandell participated as a "trusted third party" too. June 6 The vote was officially closed. June 7 David Sean Taylor was chosen as Chair of the Apache Portals project. June 15 The Portals Graffito project (still in incubator) was voted to be "retired" http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-graffito-dev/200706.mbox/browser The source code will be redistributed to the Apache Jackrabbit project and possibly Jetspeed-2 project. Committers of Grafitto were invited to become committers at the Apache Jackrabbit project. June 18 Torsten Dettborn was voted in as a committer Other activities include further interest brewing in WSRP4J. We believe this project can still make it out of incubator. Jetspeed 2.1.1 and Bridges 1.0.2 are scheduled for release by the end of June, a bug fix release but also including new Bridges support for Wicket and Groovy portlets.
Henri noted that t here was a note from Santiago that he put in a report for May so it seems that there might be some confusion on the schedule of the portals report. He suggested we move it to months 2-5-8-11.

The quest for a new Chair is taking longer than expected, as we implemented the decision to invite all active committers to the Portals PMC, so that they could take part in the vote for a new chair. We have progressed in the sense that people has been invited, and a substantial part accepted. But getting everybody subscribed to the private@ list, and attending a roll call there, in a world were our server is no longer accepting @apache.org addresses forwarded via gmail is taking forever. The new chair election is pending that we complete a roll call in private@, so that we know all voters are listening before we start the vote. Other than this, pluto release 1.1.3 has been voted, and some fresh activity around wsrp4j has been started after face to face meetings in ApacheCON Europe.
Justin provided insight regarding the Gmail/Apache issue mentioned in the report. Gmail does not forge the envelope - so the person's @gmail.com address needs to be in the allow list in ezmlm. Justin suggested that perhaps the moderators for that list have not been active. Henri also suggested that the moderator is unable to do their moderate operations.

New committers: Philip Mark Donaghy New PMC Members: Elliot Metsger. JSR-286 kept publishing open drafts about the ongoing results. Raphael Luta went to emeritus in the PMC. Raphael has been around since the very beginnings of the project, and designed the original and current PSML markup in jetspeed, as well as a number of important inputs in what later became JSR-168. We will miss his insight and good hand. We had a healthy discussion on compliance of new formal requirements on releases, that prompted major cooperation between different areas of the project. This came as pluto, bridges and jetspeed releases all were not following the last requirements about headers. Pluto is moving fast with JSR-286 getting close to completion, and discussions about how draft implementations coming from the JSR process are to be integrated in the current code base. Code Releases Jetspeed released 2.1 Pluto released 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. 1.1.3 is being voted. The process of electing a new Chair has been started. It is proceeding slowly, and I hope the next report can have a proposal for a new Chair resolution attached.
The board noted that, even though no progress has been made on the selection/election/approval of a new chair for the PMC, other healthy activity, such as adding new members to the PMC, exists. Although the board still expects a change in chair, it did not feel the need to "push" it for this month.

Jim expressed concern with the lack of reporting. Henri will contact Santiago regarding his availability and work- load and whether remaining chair is feasible. Greg will contact the PMC asking for a report.
No report.
No report provided. Greg noted that their September report noted a possible chair change to address the relatively poor submissions of reports.
- JSR-286 keeps going. There was discussion because the JSR-286 lead had contracted a reference implementation of the changes to pluto to be developed by a University, that was using Apache branding in a confusing way, and there were concerns about a code dump similar to the one that happened when JSR-168 was going on. Concerns seem resolved, and the development will talke place in a branch in portals SVN. - Development keeps going on as usual, with some areas stronger than other. Several releases are ongoing. - WSRP4J still is quiescent. Maybe the remaining IP issues in Oasis. Not sure. Community wise it looks like global interest on it is decaying - Graffito got new committers, perspectives look good towards graduation - The chair is too busy, and finds no longer rewarding the administrative work required to keep portals tidy. I'm resigning as soon as other person is elected that can take the position. The PMC will propose a name to the Board soon.
Greg noted the heads-up on a chair change mentioned in the report.

Q1 == After ApacheCON 2005 San Diego, we got some progress in how to further integrate the jetspeed, cocoon and pluto portals modules, so that the code base gets more modular. New portals committers: (David Jencks, Ralph Goers, Ulrich Kuester) Jetspeed kept teady progress towards 2.1 Ditto for Pluto towards 1.1 WSRP4J is again seeing some activity after a long time dormant Q2 == Little activity in the -dev lists, mostly meaning that most of the committer base is busy working towards forthcoming releases and/or day work, related in most cases with portals. Pluto is about to release version 1.1. pluto-1.1beta1, released May 18, passes the JSR-168 TCK, except for two bugs The chairman, i.e. /me, i.e. Santiago Gala, has been lacking time to devote to the portals.apache.org project due to personal circunstances and the fact that my day job is no longer related with portals. I am seeing community problems at portals as a whole. Little integration effort has been going on after the F2F meeting at San Diego, where significant progress went on towards the acceptance of portals-bridges as a place for common (non container) JSR-168 code, and pluto as the place for container work. Fortunately all portals.apache.org implementations (cocoon portal, jetspeed-2, jetspeed-1-fusion) do use pluto as a base. JSR-286 got started for a revision of JSR-168, with an Apache Portals committer as chair, and the first notification on our lists came from a third party committer posting in our lists about it. This is not a good symptom of integration at the pmc level. Also, the presence of several active committer around the expert group would probably distract discussions from the public lists. The fact that a lot of technical discussions are being held over irc is not a good symptom, either. I am planning to address those issues, including a formal charter and election for PMC Chair after ApacheCON EU, trying to get some advantage of the set of F2F meetings there and the fact that final exams are close to stop sucking my time.
In his report, Santiago Gala expressed some concerns regarding the project. The board understands and appreciates the concerns and requests an update at the next board meeting.

Executive Summary Busy quarter, with Jetspeed 2.0 released, while pluto is making steady progress towards a refactored 1.1. Two portals-related tutorials and one session during ApacheCON US 2005 General Progress After WSRP4J finished migration to svn, all portal (or prospective portals) modules are stored in subversion. Rising activity in Pluto, with 1.0.1 release. Jetspeed uses 1.0.1 now. Strong discussions, in the general list, on how to partition and share different modules in jetspeed, pluto, etc. Releases jetspeed-2.0 pluto 1.0.1 pluto-1.1 -RC Open Issues The IP policy in Oasis issue around the WSRP standard is about the only remaining issue holding WSRP4J from a graduation from incubator. During conversations at San Diego with Noel J. Bergman, Davanum Srinivas and Cliff Schmidt a procedure to deal with the issue was outlined, and we will proceed shortly with it. Changes in Committership No changes, except that the two new committers quoted in the last report are effectively in. Changes in PMC membership No changes

Executive Summary Relatively quiet quarter. Bug fixing, user questions, etc. Mostly business as usual. General Progress Two Google "Summers of Code" grants, one in WSRP4J, mentored by Julie MacNaught, another one in Jetspeed, mentored by Santiago Gala. Rising activity in Pluto, with two new committers voted and 1.0.1-rc4 candidate release. Jetspeed uses 1.0.1-rc4 now, we were using a snapshot build due to the need of a bug fix until rc4 was released. Jetspeed spawned a repository module (bridges) containing helping code for the use of different web frameworks in portlet programming. Initially it contains velocity, struts, jsf, perl and php code, and soon it will contain a python bridge too. Graffito (incubating) and latest Jetspeed-2 HEAD are in sync again, after some changes in Jetspeed broke the integration. Releases pluto 1.0.1-RC4 was released Aug 9, and 1.0.1 is about to be released. The 1.0.1 release is the HEAD of the development, and just includes bugfixes on the 1.0 implementation. A code refactoring is under a 1.1 branch, that will be released after 1.0.1, when developers are satisfied with the results. Open Issues WSRP4J has a test migration to svn, pending tests and our "go" for infra to move it. The IP policy in Oasis issue around the WSRP standard is about the only remaining issue holding WSRP4J from a graduation from incubator. Changes in Committership Two new committers (just voted in) in Pluto, pending our request for CLA/infra: Ulrich Kuester Zheng Zhong Changes in PMC membership No changes

Executive Summary Pluto keeps releasing minor bugfixes, jetspeed released 1.6, the last stable version of the 1 series, and keeps releasing milestone builds towards 2.0. We completed migration towards jira and subversion, except for incubating wsrp4j. General Progress Interest in jetspeed has been raising steadily. The portlet spec is getting awareness and traction from vendors and companies. Jetspeed 1 is more and more stable and supporting JSR-168 portlets since 1.6. Jetspeed 2 gets closer to the release and is fairly stable now, lacking mostly documentation, bugfix and performance work. Pluto has been fixing bugs and releasing minor RC builds on its way towards 1.0.1. Two Google SummerOfCode grants were accepted to work in the project. One for jetspeed, mentored by Santiago Gala, to get an ajax rendered for the jetspeed-2 portal. Other for wsrp4j, under incubation, to be mentored by Julie MacNaught, in order to refactor the donated code and have a better build system. Releases Jetspeed released 1.6, with JSR-168 support, in May. Two milestone builds (M2 and M3) in our way towards version 2. Pluto released minor bugfix release candidates, 1.0.1-rc3 recently, and work is under way, with 1.0.1-rc4, for a 1.0.1 release. Work for a refactored 1.1 release, which will focus on having cleaner portlet container to portal APIs is about to become the focus. Open Issues - WSRP4J problems with regards to Oasis IP policies have been detected. No further action will be taken until global conversations with the parties involved yield some fruit. - A bridge to code portlets using php is being developed. It requires php sources to build, as it uses jni. Clarify licensing issues.

Executive Summary Business as usual, some infrastructure bottlenecks, as setting up Subversion repos require apmail and planning for movement of mail lists. The only things that requires Board attention is the potentially encumbering patents declared by Oasis for WSRP4J. Standing Issues * In the context of the Oasis IP policy brought up by dims, we found that WSRP4J is significantly affected by a patent from WebCollage and several from IBM. IBM grants royalty-free licenses for patents affecting the standard implementation, but the situation WRT TBD is not clear, as well as the scope of the patent. We are aware that negotiations with Oasis are ongoing, and want to be in the loop, both to provide any needed information and to clear uncertainties on the standard. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrp/ipr.php * We are seeing little cross-pollination between the different projects, as pluto and WSRP4J are highly specialized infrastructure projects, devoted to implementation of standards, while Jetspeed and the portlet application samples are much higher in the software stack. This attracts different kind of developers at each project. This is not bad per se, but asks for higher cross-pollination between the different groups. Common involvement in infrastructure tasks will probably be key to achieving better cohesion in the community. Community changes * Craig Doremus as new committer in pluto * Diego Louzán as new committer in WSRP4J * Randall Watler as new committer in Jetspeed * Ate Douma and Nick Lothian were elected for the Apache Portals PMC Releases * Jetspeed-2.0-M1 (Dec, 2004) * Jetspeed-1.6RC1 with preliminary JSR-168 support * Pluto 1.0.1-RC2 (Dec 21, 2004) with bugfixes on the initial import Technical events * Jetspeed-1.6-dev dropped support of tomcat-4. Dropping needed for compatibility with new JSR-168 portlets. Pluto had done the same time ago, as the way portlet applications are deployed requires very specific session sharing semantics * Raphael has moved experimentally jetspeed documentation to Forrest format, which he became familiar with through Grafitto. Most of the community is interested, and it could help us to attain better user support. Infrastructure news There remain several lists in jakarta (jetspeed-dev and jetspeed-user). This and the fact that subversion was having intermittent problems refrained us from the move to subversion. It is in process now, I think we could manage it with a small push with some help from apmail people to move the lists. The plan is at http://wiki.apache.org/portals/JetspeedMigration , and cvs2svn has been tested on the repository. Raphael Luta is the main entry point for this effort. It would be useful if one of the four ASF members in the PMC could get proficient and into apmail (privacywise simpler)

In general, activity has been positive. I have been able to give more time to the project. In addition, Raphael Luta, a long timer which had to left, came back to activity asking for PMC membership. In the while David Taylor has kept the leadership, with Carsten and the rest of the team doing an amazing job. New PMC member - - Raphael Luta New Committers - - Scott Goldstein (primarily WSRP4J, though welcome to go further) - - Shinsuke Sugaya (Jetspeed 1 and 2 ) Features * Fusion code for running JSR-168 portlets inside Jetspeed-1. * JCMS was voted as a subproject for incubation, bringing the CMS bridges as a portlet application. * Jetspeed is approaching the 1.6 release, enabling it to run JSR-168 portlet applications. * Jetspeed 2 is approaching a milestone alpha release, a kind of "Technology Preview". It will likely happen before year's end. * Pluto plans the 1.0.1 release, bug fix, clarification and documentation Infrastructure * The site was moved to subversion, following Pluto Missing * The move of Jetspeed to subversion is planned for just after releasing Jetspeed 1.6 and Jetspeed-2 M1 * The request for incubation of the JCMS code base will come shortly - heading for the Incubator, with Raphael Luta as mentor. * Cleanup of mail lists still under jakarta * Graduation of wsrp4j

The Portals project infrastructure setup has proceeded rather slowly, due to most involved people being buried in their dayjobs and having little time and energy remaining. We all expect that during March we can have all infrastructure issues solved and start offering a "visible" website, lists and repositories. * The pmc@portals.apache.org and general@portals.apache.org mailing lists were setup. It was agreed to keep separate -dev lists for the different modules, instead of merging them together into a unique -dev list. * The Portals PMC agreed to accept the Pluto codebase in the Apache Portals project. This vote was held (incorrectly) in the pmc list, and will be repeated in the public general list once this list has been publicized. * David Taylor will use Maven to generate the web site, and he is contacting people who can help to design a logo for the Portals effort. * Pluto is currently in the process of preparing the first release - Carsten Ziegeler has taken over the task of the release manager and it seems that the team will have finished all open tasks in early April. * Santiago Gala will ask for a graduation vote of pluto out of the incubator and into the portals project, and follow up whatever needs to be done to successfully graduate pluto.
