 identified with the codec changes. Fixes are under way to resolve them
 with aim of taking it to vote again next week. Refinement work
 continues on OpenTelemetry based tracing for the C++ binding.

- The AMQP 1.0 JMS client had 0.60.x and 1.x releases with some bug
 fixes and improvements, including updates around Log4J and Netty.
 Work continues on more as they arise.

- We merged the proton@qpid.apache.org mailing list traffic back into the
  dev@ and users@ lists then retired proton@. This was done mainly to make
  things simpler to follow and reduce confusion + duplication, and partly
  because the reasons for it originally being created no longer apply.

- The main user and developer mailing lists remain active. Quarterly stats:
 -- users@qpid.apache.org:
    394 subscribers (up 44), 734 emails (440 previous).
 -- dev@qpid.apache.org:
    192 subscribers (up 7), 2891 emails (2020 previous).

- JIRAs are being raised and addressed:
  397 JIRA tickets were created and 311 resolved in the last 3 months.

- Ganesh Murthy was added as a committer on 29th February 2016.

- Lorenz Quack was added to the PMC on 7th March 2016.

# Development:

- The Qpid Dispatch 0.6.0 release process is under way, with alpha/betas and
  an RC having been proposed for testing. A second RC is due this week
  before progressing to a final release vote.

- The release process for Qpid Proton 0.13.0 is getting under way,
  containing various fixes and further work on the C++ reactive API
  bindings. A beta and RCs will be progressed over the next few weeks.

- A 0.10.0 release of the new AMQP 1.0 JMS client with various bug fixes and
  improvements will be made after Proton 0.13.0 is released.

- Development on the Qpid Java broker and AMQP 0-x client continue toward a
  6.1.0 release, with various fixes also being backported towards doing
  a 6.0.3 patch release.

- Work has been done to reorganize the Qpid C++ and Qpid Python code in
  Subversion to better facilitate independent releases. These reorganised
  bits will now be migrated to Git repositories. After Proton 0.13.0 is
  available, new releases of qpid-cpp and qpid-python will be made.

- The website was moved to a Git repository to ease maintenance by improving
  performance when updating the large content set.

 and Robbie Gemmell have combined efforts on this.

- For greater clarity, we changed our process a little for the 0.30
 Qpid release. This comprises several different components, though
 they all share the same svn tree at present. Where previously we had
 voted for the release as a whole, we now vote separately on each
 individual components sources, to ensure that every component that
 gets released has been sufficiently verified.

Andrew MacBean became a committer on 1st June 2014. There were no new
additions to the PMC since the last report. The last addition to the
PMC was Fraser Adams who joined on 6th March, 2014.

* Development

As well as ongoing fixes there has been a focus on the management UI
and security requirements in the Java broker. Work on the c++ broker
and client has been focused around AMQP 1.0 enhancements. An ActiveMQ
NMS implementation using AMQP 1.0 has been built on top of the .Net
Qpid.Messaging client.

In Qpid Dispatch Router, there is now support for more dynamic
configuration. The addressing model has been expanded to allow
aggregation of disparate brokers.

The proton library has been moving to a more event driven design as a
result of feedback received. It is believed that this will make it
easier to use and allow extra functionality to be offered within the
proton toolkit itself. Javascript support for proton is also being
developed.

Qpid 0.30 is now in alpha with a first beta due shortly. During this
cycle we have identified the need to adjust our procedure a little to
better cope with the evolution of the codebase. Previously we had a
single vote on a single release that covered several different source
bundles. The details are still being discussed but it is likely that
we move to having multiple distinct votes on specific source bundles,
with these perhaps eventually diverging into independent cycles
matching the different needs that different components have. An update
on this will be included in the next board report.

Qpid Dispatch Router 0.1 was released on 17th January.

The Qpid 0.26 release vote has concluded (we have changed the
publishing process we use and publication is currently waiting on
infra-7201, but should be complete soon). The previous Qpid release
(0.24) was in 7th Sep, 2013.

members to be added were Andrew Stitcher, Chuck Rolke, Justin Ross and
Keith Wall, who were originally voted in during September 2011. It was
brought to our attention however that there was no record of
notification to - or acknowledgement from, as at that time required -
the board at that time. This was rectified by a vote in Dec 2013 and
an acknowledgement was received from Jim Jagielski.

* Development Highlights:

AMQP 1.0 continues to be an area of activity as issues are reported
(often in conjunction with other AMQP 1.0 implementations) and fixed.

Development is underway on a new AMQP 1.0 based JMS client, in line
with the JMS Mapping being developed at OASIS.

The existing JMS over 1.0 client and the java broker now support
WebSockets, tracking the specification for that being developed at
OASIS.

Though not part of Qpid per se, an AMQP based NMS implementation
(using qpid::messaging under the covers) has been developed in
conjunction with the ActiveMQ project, increasing options for
interoperability between the two projects.

Dispatch Router added support for both competing and non-competing
patterns, based on patterns specified in the configuration file. (Will
be part of 0.2 release). The Dispatch Router is tracking the
specification development for AMQP management.

Proton Messenger added support for dynamic nodes. (Included in 0.6
release). Some ideas have also been discussed to simplify using the
Proton engine API, namely adding an event-oriented interface and some
generic container support.

Development since last the report has been mainly maintenance & bug
fixing on the various components. Development of a proposed new
component, the Qpid Dispatch Router, has continued along with some
discussion regarding its scope and aims.

Increased PMC and committer diversity would be desirable. At present
all but two of the active committers - and all but one of the PMC
members - are paid to work on the project by one of two
organisations. Some discussions have begun to try and find ideas for
proactively improving this situation.

Releases:

Proton 0.5; 29th Aug, 2013
Qpid 0.24; 7th Sep, 2013

Progress:

Now have a new website which not only looks a lot better, but also provides
better information on the components offered.

There has been some refactoring of the Java broker to turn the various
protocol versions into plugins.

For the c++ broker, the work on a new approach to high availability is
progressing well with transaction support being finalised. AMQP 1.0 support
has also progressed well, as it has for the c++ qpid::messaging client.

In proton, the API has been extended to provide better non-blocking support
and proton-j (java) has been brought into line with the development on proton-c.

There is work underway to build a new JMS client using proton-j. A separate
JIRA instance has been set up for this.

There is also a new component being worked on (yet to be released), called
Qpid Dispatch Router, which is a lightweight message router using proton-c.

Community:

The main developer and user lists continue to be active. The proton sub-project
also has a list. Issues are being raised and fixed.

Have added Pavel Moravec as a committer. Carl Trieloff is standing down as
Chair. Gordon Sim will take over and the plan is to rotate this role more
frequently in future.

Issues:

Apache Qpid™ is a cross-platform Enterprise Messaging system which
implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), providing
message brokers written in C++ and Java, along with clients for C++,
Java JMS, .Net, Python, and Ruby.

Releases:
The release cadence is continuing, with a release made since the last
board report.

Progress:
AMQP 1.0 support is furiously being working into the brokers. The protocol
support is being created in the sub-project proton, which i also been
picked up by ActiveMQ and other projects. It appears that the project will
have complete AMQP 1.0 protocol support in the few releases.

Community:
The traffic on the lists seem to be consistent with prior reporting periods.

Issues:
No issues to report.

Apache Qpid™ is a cross-platform Enterprise Messaging system which
implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), providing
message brokers written in C++ and Java, along with clients for C++,
Java JMS, .Net, Python, and Ruby.

The project has expanded to include a protocol lib -- proton.

Proton is a high performance, lightweight messaging library. It can be
used in the widest range of messaging applications including brokers,
client libraries, routers, bridges, proxies, and more. Proton is based
on the AMQP 1.0 messaging standard. Using Proton it is trivial to
integrate with the AMQP 1.0 ecosystem from any platform, environment,
or language.

http://qpid.apache.org/proton/

Key developments:
1. We are ready to release 0.18
2. Perl binding for Qpid Messaging API
3. New HA for the C++ broker.
4. Web based management console for the Java broker.
5. Proton has it's own JIRA and mailing list and development has been
 picking up with more folks joining in.

Community
No major change, positive or negative to report. Things still humming
along.

Releases:
As mentioned above, 0.18 release about complete.

through all the clients. The JMS client is getting face lift and AMQP 1.0
also getting some attention, plus a lot of other features rolling in.

Releases:
The current release is 0.8, which has been released I believe since
the last board report. The Qpid project is in the middle of close down
for the 0.10 release. This is the fastest cycle yet between releases
reflecting the project's goal to move to a more frequent time-based
release cycle.

November 2010 Status report for Apache Qpid.

Apache Qpid implements the latest AMQP specification, providing transaction
management, queuing, distribution, security, management, clustering, federation
and heterogeneous multi-platform support and a lot more. And Apache Qpid is
extremely fast. Apache Qpid aims to be 100% AMQP Compliant.

We have no issues to report at this time.

Releases:
- Qpid is at RC1 for the 0.8 release of Qpid, expected to be released soon.
- This release brings support of 0-10 to all brokers and client
- Brings new API's, and many enhancements.

Community and Project
- Chuck Rolke voted into the project as committer
- Steady churn of questions/ activity on users list
- Continued work on the project from the dev community.

No issues to report at this time.

18 Aug 2010 [Carl Trieloff / Greg]

Since the last report, not too much to report. Project remains very
active with steady work to the upcoming release. Additional API
bindings have been added, and continual stream of patches from the
community. Project has also updated the web site, and format.

Most noteworthy is that an additional committer has been voted onto
the project (Andrew Kennedy) last month. One new committer (Cliff)
voted on in previous period also.  Qpid will probably start preparing
for the next release in a month or so as there are a large number of
enhancements and changes on the trunk. The next release date has not
yet been set, but I expect I will be reporting on that in our next
report.

No concerns from PMC or myself to report at this time.

Approved by general consent.

19 May 2010 [Carl Trieloff / Brian]

Qpid 0.6, a major release has been completed and released. This
release includes many improvements including new addressing support
and high level APIs. The release took a while to get out, but is a
solid update from 0.5. The discussion for next release has
started. The project is working to increase the number of releases
made each year.

The community of users and those submitting patches continues to
increase. There seems to be a notable increase in patch submissions
from new names to the project.

There is currently an effort under-way to rework the website and
documentation to improve the user experience with regard to the
project.

No issues to report at this time.

17 Feb 2010 [Carl Trieloff / Brett]

Releases:

Qpid 0.6 a major release is completing, hopefully released by the
date of the board meeting. It brings a large additional feature
set with including interop between all the components using AMQP
0-10 and the best support for all AMQP version for any AMQP project
around.  This is substantive release we will be proud of once voting
is complete, which includes large non-committer contributions (via JIRA).

Committers:

New committers voted onto the project: Ken Giusti.

Governance:

Long debate on private lists around mixing committer votes with
improving our governance. It seems like we are maturing and improving
our game with a consequence that we may have raised the bar mid stream
on those working to committership. The improving our game is good but
we need to carefully manage those that are in process of working to
committership.

Community:

The community continues to grow both from patches and users.

Issues:

No issues to report at this time.

Brett to take over Roy's action item suggesting a number of improvements required in Qpid's report.

18 Nov 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Greg]

Currently there are no items requiring specific board attentions.

Project status:

Some good interactions at ApacheCon, however it was noted that Qpid is not
widely known around the ApacheCon attendance. this is something which has
generated some discussion and may need some attention from the project to
promote itself.

List activity and interaction as strong and continue to grow

0.6 release coming should be out soon, some of the larger pieces of work
featured include:

- includes Windows installer, SQL-based persistence, WCF channel additions,
 funded by Microsoft.
- a common API initiative.
- update to the Java broker so both C++ and Java broker are on AMQP 0-10,
 latest published AMQP specification
- 0-9-1 and 0-10 support in the Java Broker... Meaning Qpid now supports all
 versions of AMQP that have been released

Committers:

No new committers to report at this time, however there are a few
individuals we hope cross the bar soon to be voted into the project.

23 Sep 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Roy]

Qpid is continuing its development towards the 0.6 release, with good
contributions, feedback and patches from the community.

Since the last board report:
- Michael Goulish has been voted onto Qpid as a committer
- The PMC membership has added robbie
- Qpid now has Windows installers
- Contrib builds are being done for the Windows platform
- robbie@a.o has done excellent work as part of his GSoC project this
 year (i.e. two GoSC success stories for project so far GSoC -> active
 committer, 1 failed)
- We have good traffic on the user list.
- Red Hat has contributed an external module to Qpid (process review
 from Apache legal)
- Microsoft is funding the refactor of this contributed module to allow
 substituting DB/store and inclusion into Qpid
- Request was made to PMC to create a list for QMF (Qpid Management
 Framework) user list traffic. PMC recommended to use [QMF] on user
 list until traffic was high enough to warrant another list.

We expect that 0.6 will be released later this year. There are no
current concerns to be raised to the Apache Board at this time.

Roy to get with Carl and suggest improvements to the report meet what the board expects.

19 Aug 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Doug]

No report provided.

20 May 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Geir]

Carl reported Feb, Mar, Apr as required. The board requests a report for next month and then resume back on track. Jim to update Marvin.

15 Apr 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Jim]

For the last month there is not much to report for Qpid.

In short,

- Good community actively & user list traffic.
- 0.5 release branch has been created and is in close down.
- Good list of contributors that are interacting with the project
 and progressing towards possible committership.
- Ben Hyde joined PMC list as observer being an Apache member

18 Mar 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Bill]

Community:
- Voted on Robbie Gemmell as committer
- Lots of new people supplying patches, and contributing,
 good list of people working towards committership.

Releases:
- Working on our next release close down, will most likely
 complete next month.

18 Feb 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Bill]

The report was received on time, but wasn't added to the agenda. Will consider that report next month.

21 Jan 2009 [Carl Trieloff / Jim]

Developments:
- Andrea Gazzarini (independent) successfully voted onto Qpid as
 committer
- M4, still not quite out yet, in vote process/ corrections being
 done as needed

Graduation:
- I believe that all the setup is now complete
- Clean up from Incubator, etc, not yet complete.
- Delays, primarily do to me not having power for extended periods
 of time due to ice storms
- Updated checklist to be completed.

17 Dec 2008 [Carl Trieloff / Greg]

Summary:

- We are in the process of performing post graduation hand off. DNS, domain
 and site has been moved. Still working svn, & mail. Hope to complete
 hand-off from the incubator by the end of the year, and established board
 reporting schedule.
- We are in the process of completing our 4th major release of the project.
 First RC spun this week

Issues:
-None to report.

Graduation Thanks:

I believe it would be appropriate to thank all those that have helped us
get to graduation. I would like to start with Cliff, who helped me create
all the initial documents, work through legal, source code grant, and
initial mentoring & championing the project. Since then we have had 4
additional mentors who have provided great support, namely Craig, Paul,
Scott & Yoav. They have been with the project over the last 2+ years
providing advise, support and asking the hard questions as needed. And of
course the IPMC, and all those on the incubator list that have helped us.

We graduated the project with the follow committer base {Aidan Skinner,
Alan Conway, Arnaud Simon, Andrew Stitcher, Carl Trieloff , Gordon Sim, Jim
Meyering , John O'Hara, Jonathan Robie, Kim van der Riet, Lahiru
Gunathilake, Manuel Teira, Marnie McCormack, Martin Ritchie, Nuno Santos,
Paul Fremantle, Rafael Schloming, Rajith Attapattu, Robert Godfrey,  Robert
Greig, Rupert Smith,  Steve Huston, Yoav Shapira} it is you who have got
the project to where it is.

Then we have those that have contributed or where contributing in the early
stages to Qpid, and those that continue to contribute and are hoping that
of you will be joining us as committer on the project soon. And to {Colin
Crist(use case work),  Bhupendra Bhardwaj(eclipse tool), Kevin
Smith(security), Steve Vinoski(build), Steven Shaw(.net), Tomas
Restrepo(.net), Andrea Gazzarini(Qman)} for your larger contributions. And
of course the many users and patch submitters, those that have announced
support for Qpid & those on the lists.

Qpid is an enterprise messaging broker which implements the AMQP protocol.
It has been incubating since 2006-08-27.

News:

  * Oct 08 - Completed our M3 release
  * Sep 08 - Lahiru Gunathilake was voted in as a committer. He contributed
a CLI management tool as part of the GSoC project
  * Sep 08 - Manuel Teira was voted in as a committer. He is working on a
solaris port for the c++ broker
  * Sep 08 - Steve Huston was voted in as a committer. He is working on a
windows port for the c++ broker
  * Two GSoC students, one successfully completed
  * Continuing to attract new contributers.

Issues before graduation:

   * From last board report: PPMC diversity needs to be improved --
Progress, we now have 7 independent entities on the project


Concern:

 It took ~1 month to get a vote on our last release candidate completed,
some on general@ seem happy to pick holes when somethings wrong but seem
uninterested in acknowledging when the issues has been resolved. There was
plenty of activity on other threads, but repeated reminders seemed
ineffectual. This was a bit disappointing.

16 Jul 2008

Qpid is an enterprise messaging broker which implements the AMQP protocol.
It has been incubating since 2006-08-27.

News:

* A new release timetable and source management process was agreed on
qpid-dev
* We're completing our mid-term evaluations of our two GSoC students
* Continuing to attract new contributers, hopefully a more rapid and
reliable release schedule will help
* Prototype forrest-based website has comitted to svn to replace the
existing confluence-backed one

Issues before graduation:
* PPMC diversity needs to be improved

16 Apr 2008

Qpid is an AMQP implementation, providing an interoperable messaging
protocol.

In incubation since 2006-08-27

Graduation.
 * We attempted a graduation vote. Going into our graduation vote we had
thought that we needed a diverse committer base (which we have), however we
came to learn that the PMC also needs good diversity (yes - thinking about
this it is logical). So we stopped our graduation vote in order to add
representation on our PPMC, even though we do have at least 3 legally
independent members. We will take some time to add committers to our PPMC.
To be specific, we took away to (a.) increase our committer base + (b) have
a more diverse PMC for graduation (The project at graduation vote time
included Red Hat, another employer + Rupert Smith(independent)). So we will
add committers and PPMC members before re-requesting a vote.

 * No other issues (other than diversity) for graduation.

News.
 * M2.1 release in progress
 * Lots of new people doing stuff on project
 * Working through GSoC submission (8)
 * New Camel supports Qpid: http://activemq.apache.org/camel/amqp.html

Issues.
 * Seem to have had our status page revert, must have fat fingered it --
need to recover the correct version and fix

The Apache Qpid Project provides an open and interoperable, multiple
language implementations of the Advanced Messaged Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
specification

Date of entry to the Incubator : 2006-09

Top three items to resolve before graduation

We aborted the M2 release vote mid way due to some key bugs. We are building
new RC's and will re-vote. Once M2 is out we will seek graduation.

Resolved:

1. There don't seem to be any major issues currently, or items that need to
be raised. Most notable is that the Qpid community and users have had quite
a lot of debate on code and practices in the last period. Some debates where
quite intense, but all very productive furthering team work and community.

* Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be
addressed?

From last report:
The whole project has not gone through release review and the license files
and notices need to be checked for all languages and components.

Done - Legal review was done prior to M2 vote for the full code base. M2
vote was aborted for key bug, and is being restarted Oct 8th.

* Latest developments.

 * Since entering into incubation we have had one release of the java code
base (M1).
 * We have migrated our java build system from ant to maven.
 * Development has been moving forward. with improvements in memory
footprint management passing the JMS TCK in with the java broker.
 * Addition of .NET client
 * Successfully voted to give 7+ new committers access rights
 * Successfully voted to give a new member contributor rights to cwiki.
 * The creation of the Web site
 * General progress on all code bases
 * Created python test suite
 * Added Ruby language support
 * We have stabilized our M2 release, voted, aborted vote - and re-vote Oct
8th
 * Lots of code and clean up and new functionality
 * Increase in user mail to the point of requesting and creating a user list
 * Requests from other projects to integrate with us
 * Building M3 / V1 if graduated.

* Plans and expectations for the next period?

During the next period, once we have M2 out I believe we will see if we can
graduate.

specification

Date of entry to the Incubator : 2006-09

Top three items to resolve before graduation

None at present, however the project is going to complete the release of M2
before seeking / evaluating graduation readiness


Resolved:

1. Understanding the details between JCP and announce compliance...
        Resolution: We don't believe that there is going to be any outcome soon on
this issue given the ongoing issues with Apache / JCP. As we pass all the
tests in the TCK, the project has concluded to just state that we pass all
the tests but not claim compliance until JCP / Apache issues have been
resolved.

2. Our STATUS file needs to be updated wrt this report and the addition of
our new committers.
        Resolution: Done.

3. Making sure we are comfortable with the working relationship between Qpid
and the AMQP Working Group.
        Resolution: A discussion thread has been had on the Qpid dev list to
identify any concerns. Some issues where identified with accessing some of
the pages of the Working group, no issues where raised about obtaining
information / interacting with the WG. These resources incorrectly posted
where highlighted to the working group and have been fixed or are being
fixed. We the Qpid project will re-check for concerns on the dev list, and
make sure all resources required are accessible by all qpid committers on a
periodic basis.

* Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be
addressed?

The whole project has not gone through release review and the license files
and notices need to be checked for all languages and components.
        This is being done as post of M2, and should be complete in the next few
days, M2 took longer than expected to close. The following comments thus
carried from last board report
<--->
 * Brett: is it 'has now gone through release review', or 'has not' as
stated? How was M1 released if license files and notices have not been
checked, or has that only been done for Java?
 * Response by Martin(Qpid PPMC): The M1 release only included the Java code
base as a result only the license/notice files for Java were checked. The
other language variants are being checked to ensure the correct files are in
place for when they are ready to release.
<--->

* Latest developments.

 * Since entering into incubation we have had one release of the java code
base (M1).
 * We have stabilized our M2 release, and will be closing that shortly
 * We have migrated our java build system from ant to maven.
 * Development has been moving forward. with improvements in memory
footprint management passing the JMS TCK in with the java broker.
 * Addition of .NET client
 * Successfully voted to give 7+ new committers access rights
 * Successfully voted to give a new member contributor rights to cwiki.
 * The creation of the Web site
 * General progress on all code bases
 * Created python test suite
 * Added Ruby language support

* Plans and expectations for the next period?

During the next period we plan on improving the stability of all language
variants. Clustering, DTX, 0-10 AMQP for C++, and 0-8 & 0-10 AMQP client
support for Java will most likely be the focus of the next period.

The Apache Qpid Project provides an open and interoperable, multiple
language implementations of the Advanced Messaged Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
specification

Date of entry to the Incubator : 2006-09

Resolved issues
 * We have defined our policy for adding new commiters (3 new committers
voted in, 3 currently being voted on)
 * It should be noted that no issues working with the AMQP working group
have been identified yet

Top two items to resolve before graduation

 * Understanding the details between JCP and announce compliance
 * Making sure we are comfortable with the working relationship between Qpid
and the AMQP Working Group.

Our STATUS file has been updated wrt to reports and the addition of our new
committers. (should be published by the time this is read)

* Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be
addressed?

The whole project has not gone through release review and the license files
and notices need to be checked for items not in M1. All areas will be done
for M2.

* Latest developments.

    * Since entering into incubation we have had one release of the java
code base (M1).
    * We have migrated our build system from ant to maven.
    * Development has been moving forward. with improvements in memory
footprint management, passing the JMS TCK in with the java broker.
    * Addition of .NET client
    * Contributions from new non committers
    * Successfully voted to give 3 new committers access rights
    * Successfully voted to give a new member contributor rights to cwiki.
    * The creation of Web site
    * General progress on all code bases
    * In progress voting on 3 more new committers
    * Definition of test suite

* Plans and expectations for the next period?
    * During the next period we plan on improving the stability of all
language variants.
    * Release a M2 of the full project
    * Merge in branches relating to next spec version
    * Move trunk to 0-10 of AMQP specification
    * Improving tests and coverage

The Apache Qpid Project provides an open and interoperable, multiple
language implementations of the Advanced Messaged Queuing Protocol
(AMQP) specification

Date of entry to the Incubator : 2006-09

Top three items to resolve before graduation
1. Defining a policy for adding new committers
2. Understanding the details between JCP and announce compliance
3. Making sure we are comfortable with the working relationship between
  Qpid and the AMQP Working Group.

Our STATUS file needs to be updated wrt this report and the addition of our
new committers.

* Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be
addressed?

The whole project has not gone through release review and the license files
and notices need to be checked for all languages and components.

* Latest developments.

* Since entering into incubation we have had one release of the java code
 base (M1).
* We have migrated our build system from ant to maven.
* Development has been moving forward. with improvements in memory
 footprint management passing the JMS TCK in with the java broker.
* Addition of .NET client
* Contributions from 5+ non committers
* Successfully voted to give 3 new committers access rights
* Successfully voted to give a new member contributor rights to cwiki.
* The creation of the first draft of Web site
* General progress on all models in the code base

* Plans and expectations for the next period?

During the next period we plan on improving the stability of all language
variants. Working towards a standard interoperability test suite and
improved test code coverage of the whole code base. To this end we would
like to get all the languages passing each others tests. We will also be
pushing forward official JMS compliance certification for both brokers.
Would like to create a release of the full code set.

iPMC questions / comments:
* Brett: is it 'has now gone through release review', or 'has not' as
 stated? How was M1 released if license files and notices have not been
 checked, or has that only been done for Java?
* Response by Martin(Qpid PPMC): The M1 release only included the Java code
 base as a result only the license/notice files for Java were checked. The
 other language variants are being checked to ensure the correct files are in
 place for when they are ready to release.

* noel: Can you elaborate on Top Item #1, in light of having elected new
 Committers?
      Are the new Committers listed in the STATUS file?  The STATUS files
      does not show any record of the decisions.
