2010-April Imperius Incubator status report Imperius has been incubating since November 2007. Imperius is a rule-based policy evaluation engine based on the CIM-SPL language from Distributed Management Task Force (dtmf.org). The voting for the first release of Imperius was passed on Jan 18, 2010. The release was initially made available on April 12, 2010 via the Imperius website and mirrors. Communication continues to be intermittent. However, the community is discussing the next steps for Imperius. The implementation of the CIM-SPL standard appears fairly complete and so, although the community is currently small, we would like to consider promoting Imperius as a formal Apache project. Things to resolve prior to graduation: * Grow the community * Next steps and future of Imperius at Apache.
