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

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

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

Sanselan

15 Jul 2009

Sanselan has graduated to a sub-project of Apache Commons. This will be the
last report in the incubator.

Active committers on the project have been voted committer status in
Commons. The project infrastructure (mail lists, repository, and web site)
are being migrated to Commons.

Sanselan has been in incubation since September 2007.
Sanselan is a pure-java image library for reading and writing a variety of
image formats.

The community hasn't grown much in the past six months. There continues to
be only one active committer. Participation level is low.
A new version has been released

Barriers to graduation continue to be diversity, size of the community, and
overall activity. We will address the possible graduation paths in the next
quarter and try to evaluate what the best approach for Sanselan might be.

There was work on EXIF metadata read/write support and a bug in the
implementation was discussed on the dev aliaas.

Builds outside Apache have been made but no official Apache release has been
created yet.

overall activity, and lack of a release from Apache.

The Sanselan Project is a pure-java image library for reading and writing a
variety of image formats.

The autoexport from confluence to our site has been set up (see
http://incubator.apache.org/sanselan/) so documenation can be added soon.

We are looking for images (with no copyright restrictions) that can be used
for unit testing. Existing (private) unit tests rely on copyrighted images
that cannot be used.

17 Oct 2007

The project has kicked off with some basic infrastructure now in place.

Mailing lists have been set up. The structure of the project has been
discussed; plans are to use maven using Jackrabbit as a model.

A site was created using Confluence.

The svn repository has had the first code drop. Most of the code from then
original base has been committed.

The JIRA project is set up and the initial code drop was posted for review.

The initial committers have been given access to the repository.

Sanselan is a pure-java image library for reading and writing a variety of
image formats.

The Sanselan project has just started. Mailing lists, subversion and Jira
are setup and we're currently working on getting the remaining bits of the
infrastructure running like the website etc. The CLAs for all initial
committers have been recorded and accounts are pending. The software grant
for Sanselan has been received and the code base will be committed to svn as
soon as the accounts are created.
