Hi Board@, A slight amendment to our REPORT to account for the fact we just pushed the 0.3Gora release. Thank you
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 extremely happy to announce the release of Gora 0.3 on 8th May 2013. VOTE'ing and the release management procedure seems to be working well for the community and it was great to get the code released. Overall Project Activity since last report Generally project activity has been fairly steady. We have been working towards our 0.3 release with one issue (flagged upstream within Nutch) posing quite a problem from a technical viewpoint. The 0.3 release candidate was initially delayed with the intent of addressing this issue however a decision was made to push the RC and address it in 0.4. The user list has seen usual very low traffic. Our dev list has seen 236, 110 and 55 posts (so far) for the months March, April and May respectively. We've recently seen some contributions and activity from newer community members brought to Gora by Google Summer of Code (GSoC). The Gora community decided to move to Apache CMS for publishing documentation and we are currently deciding on when to push the staging site live. How has the community developed since the last report? We have had some interest (mainly streamed down from the Nutch community) regarding improving Gora for specific use cases and more generally. user@gora has 33 subscribers dev@gora has 54 subscribers PMC members Renato and Lewis are preparing and presenting Gora at this years Cassandra Summit in San Francisco in July. This is another attempt to build Gora out more. We have seen a number of students come forward and propose projects for this years GSoC. This is great news for Gora and we are optimistic about working to make the Gora community better. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Roland von Herget join our ranks on Thu, 7th Mar 2013. Roland also joined the Gora PMC. 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). -- *Lewis*
