Hi all, I started the report for December. Please see below and feel free to modify/suggest changes. I will not have time to work on it until Dec 2, when it is due, but I'm happy to incorporate any suggestions and submit it then.
Thank you very much, Adina Rya Rya (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. Populate the website for the project 2. Expand the "how to" document to explain the ways new contributors can become involved in the project, so we increase the size of the community. 3. Become familiar with the release process and have a first release as part of the Apache Foundation Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? We started having questions and some traffic on the dev list generated by non-committers. There are XX subscribers to the dev list. We started a discussion and created an initial draft of a document about how new contributers can contribute to the project and what should be the workflow. The initial committers continue to learn to use the Apache infrastructure and processes. How has the project developed since the last report? Started working on updating the licence headers and poms to prepare for an Apache release. Modified the Rya manual to markdown and linked it from the readme file, so the documentation is easier to access. We are still working on creating a website for the project.
