2009-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.

Activity has been slow over the holidays.

The JIRA has been set up and is being used.

Work has begun on integration between the Tashi scheduler and DHCP and DNS 
servers.

Items to be resolved before graduation:
        * Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been 
	  updated to reflect the new ASF copyright
        * Check and make sure that all code included with the distribution is 
	  covered by one or more of the approved licenses
        * Community diversity (currently Intel and CMU committers)
        * Demonstrate ability to create Apache releases
