Happy holidays to you too Arvind :-) I took a little time (sorry, all the time I think I will get before January 1) to make a draft report.
Review and finalization by someone else would be greatly appreciated, since this time is fully booked by family stuff for me! ---- MetaModel MetaModel is a data access framework, providing a common interface for exploration and querying of different types of datastores. MetaModel has been incubating since 2013-06-12. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. More contributors to increase diversity of the community 2. Make first release under ASF umbrella 3. Set better guidelines for procedures by setting community by-laws Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? We're working on making the first release under the Apache umbrella available. A first release candidate was rejected in the vote for technical reasons, but these where fixed by the second release candidate and a few JIRA entries to improve build-time validation. Various requests and questions are coming in through the dev mailing list. We believe this activity will further accelerate when our first release is available. We've been drafting a set of community by-laws, but open questions and discussions are still not settled, so this is only work-in-progress. How has the project developed since the last report? We've implemented various performance and concurrency related improvements to the working of MetaModel. Test suites have been improved to work properly on different locales, operating systems etc. Many minor changes to build configuration, license files etc., as a result of working towards a release. Date of last release: None When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
