### Apache Bval Quarterly Report December 2011 Bean Validation was accepted into Incubator on 1 March 2010. The Bean Validation project is an implementation of the Java EE Bean Validation JSR303 specification. There are no other important issues open before a possible graduation. The project has agreed to seek status as a TLP, and has agreed by an internal vote on its readiness to graduate \[1\]. The primary task outstanding is the completion of a charter. ### Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of * none ### How has the community developed since the last report * Mailing list and JIRA activity are extremely quiet. We attribute this to the nature of the podling, being but an implementation of a specification, and the level of achievement of conformity to that specification. ### How has the project developed since the last report * we have upgraded to and continue to pass the latest available version of the JSR303 TCK. * we continue to track the progress of the JSR303 spec for the future. \[1\]
