Issues: Discussions were had with the jclouds PMC about merging the Whirr core code into jclouds as part of moving Whirr to the Attic - doesn't sound like that's going to happen. So it's probably time to move Whirr to the Attic.

Whirr is a library for running services like Hadoop or ZooKeeper in the cloud. Releases: No new releases this quarter. Community: The PMC composition did not change, and we had no new committers since the last report.

In the end the community decided to create a new project (Provisionr has now entered incubation). There is interest in using the Provisionr service in Whirr for more reliable machine provisioning. - User mailing list: 15 messages - Dev mailing list: 184 messages - Commits: 15 commits Issues: No Board level issues at this time
