Here is the attached draft of our board report for this month. Please let me know if you'd like to see something changed or added.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Description: Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). ## Activity: Since our last report, TinkerPop has released versions 3.3.9 and 3.4.4, both of which included bug fixes and minor improvements. As mentioned in the previous report, we now expect to slow down on minor releases to those branches of development to focus on 3.5.0 to hopefully have that ready for release in 2020. That said, we will likely release 3.3.10 and 3.4.5 by the next board report. We saw the growth of the wider TinkerPop ecosystem with the following release announcements: * JanusGraph-Aerospike[1] - a JanusGraph backend for Aerospike * gremlin-visualizer[2] - a Gremlin visualization tool. There were a number of talks/papers about TinkerPop, Gremlin and related projects during this reporting period. Here were some by TinkerPop committers/PMC members: * In Search of the Universal Data Model[3] - Josh Shinavier * Algebraic Property Graphs[4] - Josh Shinavier * The Query Translation Landscape[5] - Harsh Thakkar * Direct Mappings between RDF and Property Graph Databases[6]- Harsh Thakkar Last month we reported that we were in the process of inviting a new committer. That person did not respond to the invite or to follow-ups to that invite and we were therfore unable to confirm them as a committer. However, during this period we did invite Divij Vaidya to become a committer and he quickly accepted. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Releases: - 3.3.9 (October 14, 2019) - 3.4.4 (October 14, 2019) ## PMC/Committer: - Last PMC addition was Jorge Bay-Gondra - October 2018 - Last committer addition was Divij Vaidya - November 2019 ## Links [1] https://github.com/Playtika/aerospike-janusgraph-storage-backend [2] https://github.com/prabushitha/gremlin-visualizer [3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=telyBQCuq70 [4] https://s.apache.org/nirkk [5] https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.03118 [6] https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.02127
