Hi, April 6 is the deadline for the April ASF report. Here is the first draft. Please comment. I said in it that we have a website which is not yet true, but it will be by the time we submit the report - I started working on it and I'll submit it for review/publish it early next week after I come from a conference.
---------- Rya Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /rēə/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data. Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Become familiar with the release process and have a first release as part of the Apache Foundation 2. Expand the "how to" document to explain the ways new contributors can become involved in the project, so we increase the size of the community. 3. Add new committers to the project. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? * We have a Rya "office hour" teleconference every other week. Users and developers can ask questions, receive answers, discuss ideas for future developments. The minutes are sent to the dev@ list * We have more PRs from non-committers which are integrated into the repository * There were several ideas from Rya for Google Summer of Code, and a few students expressed interest; one of them submitted a proposal How has the project developed since the last report? * Created a quick-start VM for users to try out Rya. * Created a website for the project. * Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered. * Committed features: incremental update for precomputed join indices Date of last release: Not applicable When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
