Draft report for the board for July:
Andy
-----------------
## Description:
Jena is a framework for developing Semantic Web and Linked Data
applications in Java. It provides implementation of W3C standards for
RDF and SPARQL.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Jena 3.3.0 was released 2017-May-2017, roughly in-line with the desired
increased release cadence.
The project has received external contributions, including a significant
one that extends support for Lucene text analysers. In addition,
existing some committers have worked closely together on
language-sensitive collation while maintaining compatibility with the
W3C standard and existing releases.
## Health report:
The development activity for the project is at normal levels. The
slight drop on the users list may be due to a small number of users
asking large numbers of basic questions on long threads. This has caused
some push back by other users on the list which the PMC has noted. The
project has before gone through such cycles before. We can hope that any
users put off by the perceived noise will become active again.
