Reporting Guidelines

  1. A community member should volunteer to make an initial draft of the board report a minimum of 1 week prior to the due date. Send a message to vcl-dev@incubator.apache.org.
  2. Create a new Confluence page which is a child of this page.  The title should match the form of previous reports:
    yyyy-mm Incubator VCL Report
    • The first line should contain:
      VCL has been incubating since December 2008.  VCL is a cloud computing platform for the management of physical and virtual machines.
    • Inlude a section with the project's top 2 or 3 issues to resolve prior to graduation
    • Include a summary of the major issues and developments that occurred since the last board report was submitted
    • The last line should contain:
      Signed off by mentor:
    • You can actually copy the last report to use as a base for the new one. View a previous report, and then click Info under Page Operations. Finally, click Copy on that page.  Make sure to change the title of the new page.
  3. Send a message to vcl-dev@incubator.apache.org notifying the community that the report is ready to be discussed
    • Specify a date and time when the report will be submitted
    • there doesn't need to be an official vote to approve the report; if you don't get any feedback from anyone, consider it approved

    • cc the project mentors asking them to review the report and complete the "Signed off by mentor:" line
