ACTF is developing well, but needs to spend more effort in the development of an active community around the project.

Albireo

• Started August 25, 2008
• Initial review

Results

Development on Albireo appears to be slowing, but is continuing. There has been little community involvement behind the project. The project committers need to spend more effort in the development of an active community.

Aperi Storage Management Project

• Started September 4, 2008
• Initial review

Results

The Aperi project leadership tells us that they are actively participating in the storage management community. We have asked them to spend more effort to participate more actively in the broader Eclipse community.

The project leadership is considering a longer term scenario where Aperi becomes a project under a top-level COSMOS project.

Consensus seems to be that the project is progressing reasonably well.
