Updated with the "new committer" news - I plan to get this posted to the
board tomorrow....
--------------------------------
## Description:
Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
(OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).
## Activity:
In the last report, we alluded to a committer to whom we extended an
invitation to for membership within the PMC, and that invitation was
accepted
by Robert Dale. In addition, two new committers have been added in Florian
Hockmann and Jorge Bay Gondra. Both have been contributing in recent months
to expanding the TinkerPop ecosystem into the Microsoft .NET and Javascript
worlds.
TinkerPop released versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.5 ( in the last reportm it was
mistakenly written that 3.2.5 was released - that should have read 3.2.4).
New development has started on the follow-on releases to those versions and
work for the new major line of 3.3.0 continues with an expected release
by end of summer.
Microsoft announced the release of Azure CosmosDB[1], which is a globally
distributed, multi-model database service. They chose to expose Apache
TinkerPop as their Graph API. There were some initial branding issues where
Apache was not properly acknowledged, but the issues were quickly rectified
once the PMC contacted the project developers at Microsoft.
There were also a number of talks given related to TinkerPop and the
Gremlin language. Here are a few samples from PMC members:
- "Open problems in the Universal Graph Theory" Keynote at Graph Day
by Dr. Marko Rodriguez[2][3]
- "Start Flying with Python and Apahce TinkerPop" at Graph Day
by Jason Plurad[4]
- "JanusGraph: Today and Looking to the Future" at Graph Day
by Ted Wilmes[5]
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Releases:
- 3.1.7 (June 12, 2017)
- 3.2.5 (June 12, 2017)
## PMC/Committer:
- Last PMC addition was Robert Dale - April 2017
- Last committer addition was Florian Hockmann/Jorge Bay Gondra - July 2017
