Attachment V: Report from the Apache Gora Project [Lewis John McGibbney]
## Description: 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, distributed in-memory key/value stores, in-memory data grids, in-memory caches, distributed multi-model stores, and hybrid in-memory architectures. Gora also enables analysis of data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark support. ## Issues: As of 2018-11-15 the PMC is currrently VOTE'ing on a change of Project Chair for the Apache Gora project. The VOTE will be closed and a RESOLUTION will be passed to the board for consideration by the time the November 2018 board meeting takes place. ## Activity: Activity has been reasonably post summer, the Gora project did recently however welcome a new Committer and PMC member Carlos Muñoz was added as a committer on Mon Nov 12 2018. ## Health report: The Gora project is in good health. Mailing lists are responsive with VOTE'ing initiatives seeing good response from the community. The project will most likely look towards a new release once the PMC Chair position has been transferred. ## PMC changes: - Currently 26 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Cihad Guzel on Tue Mar 13 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 27 committers. - Carlos Muñoz was added as a committer on Mon Nov 12 2018 ## Releases: - Last release was 0.8 on Mon Sep 18 2017 ## Mailing list activity: Mailing lists number remain allmost flatlined with a very slight decrease on dev@, our primary communication medium.
