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: TinkerPop released versions 3.3.11 and 3.4.7. Both were releases containing important bug fixes and minor improvements. The 3.3.11 release is the last release in the 3.3.x release line. The first release in that line of 3.3.0 occurred in August 2017, so it has seen a long run of maintenance. As most graph providers have long since moved on to 3.4.x and some development efforts have shifted to our latest release line of 3.5.0, it seemed time to stop support on 3.3.x. A number of new projects came to light in this last reporting period that showed the continued growth of the wider TinkerPop ecosystem: * ignite-janus[1] - Apache Ignite Storage Backend for JanusGraph * graph-explorer[2] - Extendable data visualiser for Apache TinkerPop supported graph databases. * Hackolade TinkerPop Plugin[3] - A graph data modelling tool * Clownface[4] - Clownface is a graph traversal library inspired by Gremlin which allows querying any RDF dataset in a concise and readable way. A new book was published by O'Reilly called "The Practitioner's Guide to Graph Data"[5] by Denise Gosnell and Matthias Broecheler. It uses Gremlin for its code examples and covers many important graph topics that should be extraordinarily helpful to new users. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Releases: - 3.3.11 (June 1, 2020) - 3.4.7 (June 1, 2020) ## PMC/Committer: - Last PMC addition was Jorge Bay-Gondra - October 2018 - Last committer addition was Divij Vaidya - November 2019 ## Links [1] https://github.com/predictiveworks/ignite-janus [2] https://github.com/invanalabs/graph-explorer [3] https://hackolade.com/help/TinkerPop.html [4] https://zazuko.github.io/clownface/ [5] https://s.apache.org/l46ik
