Incubation status reports
| Date | Status |
|---|---|
| 2004-05 | Log4net now supports building under the Mono Beta 1 runtime. |
| 2005-02 | The Logging Services PMC would like to see the log4net project graduate
in the coming few months. A new log4net development release is in
preparation which the LS PMC has approved. We intend to seek the approval
of the Incubator PMC in the coming days. The finalised log4net version
1.2 should be released within the next quarter. log4net is now using a JIRA issue tracker. |
| 2005-05 | The incubator approved the release of log4net 1.2.9 beta which is the
first release of log4net under Apache. The upcoming release goals are
to ensure consistent code quality and improve the available end user
documentation. The project's ongoing goal is to increase the number of active committers and to graduate from incubation. |
| 2005-08 | The log4net project is still in incubation, but it is active. The
Logging Services PMC is currently voting on a new committer,
Rob Grabowski (rgrabowski@apache.org), and the vote seems likely to pass.
This would bring the number of active committers to 4, helping meet
incubator exit criteria. The log4net committers are working towards the next maintenance release with a focus on code quality and improving the available end user documentation. |
| 2005-10 | Log4net has elected Rob Grabowski (rgrabowski at apache dot org) as a new
committer. This brings the number of active committers to 4, helping meet
incubator exit criteria. We have recently migrated from CVS to SVN. We are working towards the next maintenance release with a focus on code quality and improving the available end user documentation. |
| 2006-01 | The log4net committers are working on compatibility with the .NET 2.0 releases from Microsoft and Mono. |
| 2007-02-17 | Graduation from Incubator to Logging Services. |

Incubation
These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation.
They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.
Collaborative Development
- Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?
- Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.)
- Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
From the discussions on log4net-dev@logging.apache.org that appears to be the case.
- Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?
Licensing awareness
- Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers?
Nicko Cadell has promtly responded to IP related concerns raised on the general@incubator and log4net-dev mailing lists.
Project Specific

Exit

- Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks?
