Re: draft of ASF Board Report for Rya - please comment
I submitted the following report. The numbers for non-committers and
contributions are approximations - I counted the pull requests, not sure
which ones were merged. I can make modifications tomorrow if needed.
Thank you all for comments.

RyaRya (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. Have more
releases as part of the Apache Foundation 2. Increase diversity of
contributors. 3. Continue to harden and develop core Rya features to
improve user experienceAny issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF
Board wish/need to be aware of? NoHow has the community developed
since the last report? * Talk on Rya accepted at Apache Big Data, May
18, 2017 * PRs from non-committers (14 contributions from 6
non-committers) which are integrated into the repository continue to

Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered * Committed
features: Added support for select * {?s ?p ?o} queries (select all
triples). Implemented MongoDB based entity secondary index. Added
MongoDB column visibility. Fixed column visibilities in Fluo. Added
GeoWave, in addition to GeoMesa, to the optional rya.geoindexing.

Re: draft of ASF Board Report for Rya - please comment
Josh, I'll try to find out the numbers for contributions so we can be more
concrete on that point.
Seetharam, I was thinking that giving more talks on Rya and having more
publications on Rya will hopefully increase visibility of the project,
which in turn will attract users, then users start finding bugs/wanting
features, and they start submitting code contributions for some of those.
Hence the desire to have a talk on Rya at ApacheCon. If people with more
experience have suggestions on how to increase the community in general and
contributors in particular, please let us know.

Can you please elaborate on how you plan to "Increase diversity of
contributors"? LGTM otherwise. Thanks!

Re: draft of ASF Board Report for Rya - please comment
My only comment is to be a bit more concrete on the number of
contributions you have received from non-committers (e.g. how many
unique contributors and number of contributions total). This helps to
show what the pipeline on your community-building looks like.
Otherwise, lgtm. Thanks for putting it together, Adina!
