- The majority of the committee has been working very hard to push forward
the next release since has been almost 2 years since the last release as
pointed out in the last report. There are volunteers and an RM already
stepped forward and started the process. However, there is a small group
which differs in opinion and prefers to delay/block the critical
minor/patch release (https://s.apache.org/Q0iS). Looking forward to a
concensus soon.
## Activity:
- There was a successful cTAKES hackathon during AMIA's NLP Working Group
earlier in Nov at Chicago, IL (https://s.apache.org/IVqy)
- There has been continued activity and contributions in new components in
sandbox and improvements to current components (Clinical De identification,
ctakes-wsd, ctakes-temporal, etc. )

as Java File Resource loading improvements, general code clean up, etc.
- Committee continues to work on the next release (see above notes).

cTAKES (clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System) is an natural language processing tool for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. cTAKES has been incubating since 2012-06-11. Three most important steps moving towards graduation Attract new contributors Make at least one cTAKES release Get everyone's ICLA on file and start developing code at Apache and using the infrastructure Anything required IPMC attention? None Community: We added over 10 new committers after the podling was formed. We initiated a community VOTE for graduation (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ctakes-dev/201303.mbox/browser) Development: We successfully produced one released (ctakes-3.0.0-incubating).

None Community: We have had additional committers and PPMC members join. We have the Software Grants on file from the necessary institutions(CTAKES-2). We have been using JIRA tickets to replace the Bugs tickets. We have been actively using the ASF mailing lists for communication, with over 328 mails in ctakes-dev@ in Nov. We have initiated a discussion on the road towards graduation (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ctakes-dev/201211.mbox/%3C924DE05C19409B438EB81DE683A942D923C405%40CHEXMBX1A.CHBOSTON.ORG%3E) Development: We successfully migrated the cTAKES codebase from SourceForge to ASF SVN. We have been successfully using Maven builds and ASF Nexus for staging our development. We have integrated cTAKES with continuous integration using ASF Jenkins. We have updated the code base to include ASF copyright headers to source files. We have integrated the Apache RAT plug-in for Audit. We have updated the README/LICENSE files appropriately. We have a release candidate (3.0.0-incubating) pending Review/Vote. The ctakes-dev@ discussions have been active. Signed-off-by: gsingers, jukka, rvs, mattmann

We have open JIRA tickets to replace the Bugs tickets we still had had open on SF.net. Development: - We plan to migrate the entire SVN repo from SourceForge to Apache SVN.

No Community: All ICLAs are now on file from initial committers in proposal. We have been actively discussing the work going on still at SF.net with respect to cTAKES pre-Apache and now Apache cTAKES. Most of the cTAKES community here at the ASF is learning the ASF model and infra. There was an active discussion regarding the proposed release of cTAKES at SF.net (2.6) and Chris and Jörn suggested that the release should be made at Apache. The team is now progressing towards that goal. We are in the process of attracting new contributors and building the community, so far focusing on contributors from the SF.net project from Boston Children's Hospital, MITRE Corp., Mayo Clinic, and Colorado University. Development: - We plan to migrate the entire SVN repo from SourceForge to Apache SVN.

No Community: We are still wrapping up getting a few ICLAs for Guergana Savova and for Sean Finan. So far, little mailing list discussion, but the project is getting bootstrapped. The next step will be to start developing on list and getting the project going. Jörn Kottmann who originally volunteered to Champion the project, was elected to the IPMC and can now officially be our Champion. Congrats Jörn! The light discussion on the mailing list is because there will be another release on the old sourceforge site before the migration to the apache svn and name space updates. Development: So far, nothing much other than getting mailing lists set up, and other infrastructure tasks that can be tracked at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4910 Signed off by mentor: mattmann
