Board meeting on 18 January 2017; report to be submitted by 11 January
A cloud agnostic library that enables developers to access a variety of supported cloud providers using one API.
== Project Status ==
We have two new providers under review: 'packet.net' and 'vagrant'. Additionally we are reviewing a large feature for the 'oneandone' provider.
We have seen some interest in supporting OpenStack Keystone v3. jclouds currently supports the deprecated v2, which makes it hard to use jclouds with new OpenStack installations difficult. Adding support for Keystone v3 is an important step to continued OpenStack support, but will be a significant addition that will require effort and coordination. There are currently no full-time developers dedicated to jclouds, so this will likely be challenging.
== Community ==
The project continues to receive a moderate amount of issues and pull requests, with regular questions and responses from community members on the mailing list.
There have been some recent contributions from new contributors, with several questions that demonstrated good understanding of the code. Given that the jclouds codebase is perceived to have a steeper learning curve, this is encouraging.
There are currently 11 PMC members and 23 committers.
