Hi All, Please see the proposed report as below. I have committed it to the agenda however changes csn be made so please chip in if there is anything you wish to add.
Thanks for now Lewis -------------------------------------------- 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. Project Releases The Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2.1 on 7th August 2012. No releases have been made since. Overall Project Activity since last report The last report quoted that good progress was being made on the GSoC project, these efforts have now come to fruition with the recent merge of a goraamazon branch with the trunk code. The entire efforts which went into GSoC project can now be leveraged and enjoyed by Gora users and dev's. In all 17 of 77 issues have been addressed since we last reported. How has the community developed since the last report? Our GSoC student (and now PMC member and Committer) Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo recently presented on Gora @ACEU, continued exposure of this calibre will most certainly aid in building out the community. We have also witnessed Gora users from outside the typical community posting presentations based on Gora use cases, this is also very encouraging. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo join as PMC and Committer. This was the result of a long summers participation in the GSoC project as well as Renato's interest in getting the Gora brand out there at this years ACEU. We look forward to more contributions which build on the great work done over the summer. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). Within the scope of the 0.3 development drive is an extensive upgrade of the Avro code, so we will be vigilant in attracting new members. Project Branding or Naming issues NONE Legal issues NONE -- Lewis
