## Apache BVal Report March 2017 ##

 - The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s)
   and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on
   February 15, 2012.

## Issues:

 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity: 
 - None to speak of this quarter, which is normal for BVal: occasionally there is
   a frenzy of activity to effect a release, but these are punctuated by relative
   silence. As mentioned in previous reports, the specification process for Java
   Bean Validation 2.0 proceeds and seems to be nearing completion. There will be
   a resumption of activity in this project in response to that.

## Health report: 
 - The project staff remains busy elsewhere, for the most part. BVal is curated
   on a obligation basis more than anything else at this point. It is perhaps not
   the ideal scenario for project health, but it remains tenable.
