Thank you all for comments. I'll submit the report today. Puja - I added the extra code features in the report Josh - you are completely right about the website. We have a new version now which is more reasonable. Not perfect, but better than before. Sean - about the first release - I think that time is the primary obstacle. People were busy, but we should try to make this a priority. -about the "office hours" - I think it was better today, with the connect information being sent to the dev list in advance. We should post a schedule on the website, and recordings or notes, now that we have a website -about committers: some of the PR are from people whom I expect will become committers
Here is the latest draft of the report. I'll submit it now and modify it if needed: 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. We had some technical difficulties with screen sharing, but we had a working solution for the last meeting. 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. We expect some of these non-committers to continue to submit PRs and become committers. * 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, extensions to query planning to support more complex precomputed join indices, free text search support for MongoDB, additional Geo indexing for MongoDB, extensions of examples for both Accumulo and MongoDB backed Rya Date of last release: Not applicable When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
