Status Report for the Apache OpenJPA Project

 == Summary ==
   Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for databases, 
   relational as well as non-relational . For relational databases, OpenJPA is 
   compliant to industry-standard Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0
   version.
   OpenJPA runs in stand-alone JSE as well as  containers e.g JEE,  Tomcat, Spring or OSGi.
   

 == Community ==
   OpenJPA developers had developed a general-purpose, robust
   software for Object-Relational Mapping. They also ensured its stability 
   and backward compatibility across many released versions. 
   OpenJPA has a significant user base and many users have migrated
   their persistence provider to OpenJPA.
   Current OpenJPA developers actively maintain the code base as well as
   support the user community via the mailing list and the code service streams. 
   
   However, developer resource is shrinking as many senior developers are not active and 
   new volunteers are hard to come by as new development opportunities are rare and hard 
   to incorporate for a matured code base. 
   
   
   We hope that the Board members may be able to share their experience 
   on how to re-energize a matured project in its maintenance phase.
