2008-November 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. The initial committers' accounts are active. The initial code import has been completed. A project website and an incubation status page have been added. Items to be resolved before graduation: * Complete items listed on the project status page (relating to entering incubation) * Community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers) * Demonstrate ability to create Apache releases
