\chapter{President's Welcome}
\label{sec:president}

In the time that has passed since I originally agreed to serve as President
several years ago, SPI has made significant and enduring progress resolving
long-standing procedural problems that once impeded our ability to meet the
basic service expectations of our associated projects.

These accomplishments are of course not my own, but the collective result of
work contributed by a dedicated core group of volunteers including the rest of
our officers and board.

A measure of our success is the steady stream of new SPI associated projects in
recent years, including those we invited to join us in the last year listed
later in this report.

As we look forward, I believe SPI needs to remain focused on our core services.
Financial transaction processing and other basic processes aren't glamorous,
but our primary role in the Free Software ecosystem is handling those details
on behalf of our associated projects, so that their energy can go to producing
and distributing great software!

We continue to lament long-standing issues with our bylaws that deserve to be
addressed.  This is also not glamorous work, but I hope we can make time in the
next year to finally work through updating them.

Thank you to everyone, particularly our contributing members, whose
ongoing contributions of time and attention make SPI possible!

  \emph{-- Bdale Garbee, SPI President}

\chapter{Member Project Reports}

\section{New Associated Projects}

We have continued to see a reasonable level of interest from projects who wish
to become associated with SPI. Over the past year 4 projects have had
successful resolutions proposed for them to be invited to come under the SPI
umbrella as an Associated Project.

\subsection{LibreOffice}

LibreOffice is the free software power-packed personal productivity suite for
Windows, Macintosh and Linux, provided under the LGPLv3/MPL license.

It is made available by The Document Foundation, which is an independent
self-governing meritocratic Foundation.

\subsection{Open64}

The Open64 compiler is an open-source, high performance compiler suite that
targets multiple architectures. It provides a modern framework to implement
advanced optimizations and deliver high performance.

Open64 is the final result of research contributions from a number of compiler
groups around the world. Formerly known as Pro64, Open64 was initially created
by SGI and licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL v2). It was derived from
SGI's MIPSPro compiler.

\subsection{Jenkins}

Jenkins monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software
project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Jenkins focuses on the
following two jobs:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl
or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Jenkins provides an easy-to-use so-called
continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate
changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build.
The automated, continuous build increases the productivity.

\item Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and
procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with
cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up
to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Jenkins keeps those
outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{ankur.org.in}
Ankur.org.in is a group of volunteers who collaborate to promote localization
and internationalization with the specific aim of improving usage of Bengali in
Free and Open Source Software projects. The group is involved in
internationalization and localization especially translations, content
development, development of tools, utilities, widgets and APIs that help
facilitate a wider community of like minded collaborators to participate in a
community building process."

\appendix
\chapter{About SPI}

SPI is a non-profit organization which was founded to help organizations
develop and distribute open hardware and software. We encourage programmers
to use the GNU General Public License or other licenses that allow free
redistribution and use of software, and hardware developers to distribute
documentation that will allow device drivers to be written for their product.

SPI was incorporated as a non-profit organization on June 16, 1997 in the state
of New York. Since then, it has become an umbrella organization for projects
from the community.

In 1999, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States government
determined that under section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code SPI
qualifies for 501 (c) (3) (non-profit organization) status under section 509
(a) (1) and 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi). This means that donations made to SPI and its
supported projects should be tax deductible for the American donor.
