The team has been using "issue driven development" with good effect. Development discussions are being attached as comments to JIRA tickets, helping to keep the discussions focussed, organized, and easy to find for future reference. Since the comments are posted to dev@, it's still easy to follow along with only a mailreader. iBATIS continues to find acceptance in the wider development community. High profile sites like MySpace, DevX, JavaLobby, and dzone, all use either the .NET or Java implementation in production. Also since our last report, one new committer (Jon Tirsen) has joined the team, and the 1.3 version of our .NET implemented was found to be of "General Availability" quality. Team Member Clinton Begin has been invited to join the ASF as a Member. Other team members are submitting proposals for iBATIS talks for ApacheCon 2006 US, which will hopefully draw additional iBATIS committers to Texas this year. March 2006 Since our December Report, iBATIS has nominated one new committer, Chad Humphries, and another committer, Ron Grabowski, has joined the PMC. The project now hosts implementations for Java and C#, and we hope to add Ruby. Several PMC members have shown an intertest in working with Ruby, and a new "committer-in-waiting", Jon Tirsen, has a Ruby implementation that he would like to donate to the foundation. However, Jon's CLA seems to be stuck in limbo. It was sent to post office box several weeks ago, but it is still not on file. If the postal mail has been collected recently, and the Secretary does not have the CLA, please let the iBATIS PMC know, and we will ask Jon to fax in another copy. Jon has a CCLA on file, but we are looking for his individual CLA. December 2005 Since our September Report, iBATIS.NET has posted new distributions of our Data Mapper and Data Access products (version 1.3.0 and version 1.7.0) along with a major update of the Java version of our reference applications (v5.0). One of our PMC members, Clinton Begin, presented a well-attended talk at ApacheCon US regarding iBATIS. Currently, there are implementations of iBATIS for two languages, Java and C#. We were following a potential candidate for a Ruby implementation, but that process has stalled for the time being. We are now reviewing the work of two other developers who are interested in an iBATIS PHP implementation. A key issue is being able to collaborate with new developers outside of the ASF, so that we can determine whether a developer would make a good ASF committer. September 2005 Since our July report, the iBATIS PMC has nominated four new committers, Sven Boden, Jeff Butler, Nathan Maves, and Brice Ruth. Three have submitted CLAs that await acknowledgement by the Secretary, and the fourth (Brice Ruth) is awaiting creation of his account by root. The team is beginning to make plans for a 3.0 release series, which may also include implementations for PHP and Ruby. July 2005 Since our June report, team iBATIS has rolled a 2.1.5 alpha release of iBATIS for Java and prepared the website to distribute iBATIS GA releases from the ASF mirror network. A PMC member, Clinton Begin, has submitted a proposal for an iBATIS presentation at ApacheCon 2005 US. June 2005 The transition from incubator to top-level project goes smoothly. The repository and mailing lists have been rolled over, and the website updated. The last step is to integrate the ASF mirroring with our release process. Our iBATIS.NET product is nearing a GA release, and so we will need to do that soon. We installed a new committer this month, Ron Grabowski. I have been keeping the PMC updated as to general developments in the LGPL/GPL discussions. Before moving to Apache, iBATIS bundled a Hibernate extension along with the JARs. During incubation, we removed the JARs and substituted stub API files so that our object files compile without the Hibernate library. ---- Project Votes [7 Feb 2006 PMC] Chad Humphries for iBATIS Committer +1: Gilles Bayon, Roberto Rabe, Ron Grabowski, Ted Husted +0: Clinton Begin, Brandon Goodin [22 Jan 2006] Promote iBATIS 2.1.7 to General Availability +1 Clinton Begin.
