[ecf-dev] ECF recent progress for 3.2
|
Hi Folks,
I wanted to let all know about some progress that's been happening with ECF.
a) Smack 3.1.0
We got IP approval to update to using Smack 3.1.0, and I've applied the
patch on bug [1] and released to HEAD, as well as updated the build to
use smack 3.1.0. Thanks to Roland Matha, Jorg Rathlev, and Jive/Matt
Tucker for help in the transition.
This change to smack 3.1.0 makes possible the immediate addition of the
Google summer of code contributions for Google services [2] from Nuwan
Sam, as well as the work from GSOC on Jingle and SIP support from
Harshana Eranga Martin [3]. Nuwan and Harshana are both new ECF
committers! (wecome and congratulations). I would like to now move
forward with adding the work from these projects to ECF as quickly as
possible.
b) AOL/ICQ provider contribution
ECF contributor Pavel Samolisov has agreed to contribute work on an
AOL/ICQ provider to ECF at the ECF OSU Open Source Lab site [4].
Thanksinadvance Pavel!
c) Newsreader Contribution
Is coming along very nicely [5]. Again the code is being homed at the
Osu Open Source Lab site until everything about the contribution is
ready. Thanks (and inadvance) to Wim Jongman
d) ECF IPC
Thanks to Dann Martens, and Clarke Hobbie, the ECF IPC contribution is
moving forward [6].
e) Declarative Services + ECF remote services example/tutorial
Thanksinadvance to Bryan Hunt, who has agreed to contribute example and
some docs for use of ECF remote services with OSGi declarative services
[7]. He's already got a blog posting/tutorial on this as well [8]
f) Transition to Remote Services from RFC 119
Good technical progress on this. See [9] for details. In short, it
should be done within the next week. Also see design questions
described in [10]...and please comment if you have a view on these
questions in [10]!
g) Google Wave Provider
Good progress being made on provider bundle(s) on ECF OSU Open Source
Lab site. See [11] for details.
h) Hudson and Buckminster-based build changeover
Very good progress here, thanks to work by Markus Kuppe, and Ted
Kubaska...with support/bug fixes from Thomas Hallgren (Buckminster
lead...thanks Thomas!). We are now building all of ECF with the Hucky
build (as I call it...until someone gives me a better name :). We're
pretty much ready to turn over our old build off completely and use this
build from here on out (yay!).
i) Documentation
More ECF example docs (Load Balancing Remote Services [12], File-based
Discovery [13], TweetHub [14]). And more to come, of course. If you
are able/willing to write something up showing your use of any part of
ECF, this can/will be added to the wiki-based examples...so please
consider doing so. Real-world usage docs/examples are a terrific way to
contribute to ECF.
If I've missed or forgotten something please say so publicly...so that I
and everyone knows about it. Thanks to everyone for continuing to move
ECF forward...and please keep up the good community work!
Scott
