2010-January 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.

Development activities have included work on the aws compatability layer, a 
few minor bug fixes, a port of nmd to python, adding support for tagged 
bridges in xen, and importing Zoni.

The project is still working toward building a larger user and development 
community.  Michael Ryan, an active committer on the project, has taken a new 
job and is unable to actively contribute to the project any longer.

Items to be resolved before graduation:
        * Prepare and review a release candidate
        * Develop community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers)
