2008-October Tashi Incubator status report Tashi has been incubating since September 2008. The Tashi project aims to build a software infrastructure for cloud computing on massive internet-scale datasets (what we call Big Data). The idea is to build a cluster management system that enables the Big Data that are stored in a cluster/data center to be accessed, shared, manipulated, and computed on by remote users in a convenient, efficient, and safe manner. Mailing lists have been created. The svn repository was created at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tashi Initial committers' accounts are in process. Mentors have been given access to the svn repo. The JIRA project has been created. https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/project/ViewProject.jspa?pid=12310841
