+ Flex
+
+ Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based
+ applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop.
+
+ Summary: A highly energetic community waits for Adobe to complete the
+ source code transition and infrastructure.
+
+ Date of entry to the Incubator: December 31, 2011
+
+ Top three items to resolve before graduation:
+
+ 1. Resolve trademark donation or licensing
+ 2. Complete code and bug database donation
+ 3. Make at least one release
+
+ Is there anything that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board specifically needs
+ to address?
+
+ The ASF legal team may have to agree to a custom Trademark licensing.
+ Adobe is currently evaluating the parameters of a custom Trademark license
+ proposed by an ASF Board member. If approved, a custom agreement will be
+ drafted and signed by both parties. Apache is waiting on Adobe to approve
+ the latest Apache proposal.
+
+ Are there any legal, infrastructure, cross-project or personal issues that
+ need to be addressed? (Are there any stumbling blocks that impede the podling?)
+
+ Besides the trademark issue mentioned previously, the import of existing
+ JIRA bugs is blocked by an issue with Apache JIRA's import utility. It has
+ failed to import the data file supplied by Adobe. Infra has opened a support
+ ticket with Atlassian, but the problem remains unresolved one month later.
+
+ Check that the project's Incubation Status file up to date.
+
+ http://incubator.apache.org/projects/flex
+
+ What has been done (releases, milestones, etc.) since the last report?
+
+ - The Flex compiler source code, including history,
+ was donated to Apache. It is pending import into
+ the SVN respository
+ - Other initial committers have donated code to the whiteboard.
+ - Martin Heidegger was accepted as committer to the podling.
+
+ What are the plans and expectations for the next period?
+
+ Adobe expects to complete the transfer the mustella test suite.
+ We hope to make progress on an initial release.
+
+ Are there any recommendations for how incubation could run more smoothly
+ for you?
+
+ Our mentors are great. However, Apache internals are starting to
+ become an problem. We submitted the software grant and code on Friday
+ PM, but the secretary was unable to record the software grant before
+ the weekend. That meant that Infra couldn't import the code since they
+ can only do that on weekends, and that delayed the project by a whole
+ week. Having distributed separate SVN repositories would make weeknight
+ imports possible and maybe not tax a single database as much. Large
+ projects like Flex have tons of files.
+
+ The same holds true for the bug database as well. We have been waiting
+ for the bug database since Feb 1. A gating concern is that our import
+ of 30000 bugs might take down the main JIRA instance. Having distributed
+ JIRA instances would scale better.
