Attachment Z: Report from the Apache Gora Project [Lewis John McGibbney] ## Description: The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support.
## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: Gora development has mainly involved GSoC efforts with two projects this year. This is the fourth or fifth year Gora has participated in GSoC and the work is going very well. Othe aspects of the community have been reasonably quiet however we are very close to a release now. In recent months we have added a number of modules to the codebase from external contributors. ## Health report: There are ideas to present some of the community work at the forthcoming ApacheCon EU.
