What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.
These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.
Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

## Description: Apache Clerezza models the RDF abstract syntax in Java and provides supports for serializing, parsing, managing and querying triple collections (graphs). Apache Clerezza modules aim at supporting the development of Semantic Web applications and services. ## Issues: A special order has been included in the agenda for board resolution to move the Apache Clerezza project to the Attic. VOTE: https://s.apache.org/z9mey RESULT VOTE: https://s.apache.org/10z4r ## Membership Data: Apache Clerezza was founded 2013-02-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 16 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Furkan Kamaci on 2018-12-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Furkan Kamaci on 2018-12-27. ## Project Activity: As reported in the previous quarter, the PMC decided to move Apache Clerezza to the Attic. Hasan has cleaned up some JIRA tickets to reflect the current state of the project. The latest release was created on October 22, 2020. ## Community Health: The community is not active anymore and therefore the decision to move the project to the Attic.
No report was submitted.

Last addition was Furkan Kamaci on 2018-12-27. ## Project Activity: The PMC has voted to move Apache Clerezza to the Attic. Hasan is going to initiate that according to the standard procedure in the next quarter after cleaning up the project. Hasan finished the work to upgrade Apache Clerezza to use JUnit 5. The latest release was created on October 22, 2020. There would not be any new release before moving the project to the Attic, although there are commits done in the master branch. ## Community Health: The health of the community has reached the lowest status. It is obvious that the very low activity of the community is the main problem that has triggered the move of this project to the Attic.

Apart from changes triggered by the work done by Yusuf Karadag, there were almost no activities done by the committers. Therefore, Hasan sent a request to the dev list to vote whether to move Apache Clerezza to the Attic. The work to upgrade Apache Clerezza to use JUnit 5 is currently on hold. The latest release was created on October 22, 2020. ## Community Health: Even though Yusuf has expressed his interest personally to Hasan to join Clerezza, without involvement of more committers, Hasan doubts that the community health can be improved.

Last addition was Furkan Kamaci on 2018-12-27. ## Project Activity: Furkan Kamaci and Hasan have a weekly meeting with Yusuf Karadag, a student working on an Apache Clerezza GSoC 2021 project. Besides the project, Yusuf provided a PR to integrate legacy Schemagen module back to the current master branch as well as a module to provide tutorials about using Apache Clerezza. Hasan approved the PR and made some optimization to the Schemagen module. The Jena-based Clerezza Parser and Serializer have been updated to use the latest Apache Clerezza release. The work to upgrade Apache Clerezza to use JUnit 5 is still in progress. The latest release was created on October 22, 2020. ## Community Health: We probably will be able to have Yusuf as a new committer. He already expressed his interest personally to Hasan and the PMC will discuss about it.

We plan to define projects that can be worked on in the next year's GSoc. Two goals are envisioned: to improve the Apache Clerezza code base and to gain community involvement. ## Community Health: Currently, there is not much involvement of community in the project. We are working on it. Hopefully, through a participation in GSoC 2021 this can be improved.

The last module to be release in the next reporting period for having a complete set of Apache Clerezza is the JAX-RS RDF Providers module. Latest update of the Apache Clerezza Website was in February 2018. Unfortunately, we don't have time yet to update the content of the Website. Activity was concentrated on releasing all modules of Apache Clerezza. We will update the Website afterwards. ## Community Health: Community involvement is still low, but this was expected, since we haven't put too much effort in improving that situation. This will be tackled after all modules are released.
DESCRIPTION
Apache Clerezza models the RDF abstract syntax in Java and provides supports
for serializing, parsing, managing and querying triple collections (graphs).
Apache Clerezza modules aim at supporting the development of Semantic Web
applications and services.
ISSUES FOR THE BOARD
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
COMMENTS OF THE BOARD
druggeri: It's been a while since a new committer or PMC member has
been added and this report is light on details of
community engagement and health. Are there any
contributors to watch? Also... Congratulations on 2.0.0!
answer:
Yes, indeed the community engagement is low. Active PMC members are
trying to find a solution for this. One possibility under discussion
is to define suitable GSoC tasks for the year to come.
We are thinking of defining tasks which will leverage Apache Clerezza
in managing data used within P2P based applications.
RELEASE
The latest release was created on April 23, 2020.
ACTIVITY
Three modules were released in this reporting period:
1. Representation module version 2.0.0
2. SPARQL module version 2.0.0
3. Test Utility module version 2.0.0
At the time of writing this report, the Clerezza DataSet module version
2.0.0 is being prepared for release.
COMMUNITY
Latest change was addition of a new committer and PMC member on 27.12.2018
We have to admit that currently we lack contributions from the community.
We hope that with the release of all modules in version 2.0.0, community
will get motivated to contribute to further development of Apache Clerezza.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Latest update of the Apache Clerezza Website was in February 2018.
Surely, this is another construction site to be taken care of. We will
address this in the next reporting period.

an OSGi-based modular application and set of components (bundles) for building RESTFul Semantic Web applications and services. Clerezza has been incubating since 2009-11-27. The resolution to graduate Clerezza has been added to the board agenda, as per the http://s.apache.org/rOw vote. There was some prior discussion of the viability of the project, especially the content management parts where activity has been fairly low recently, but in the end enough volunteers have shown up to move the project forward. Signed-off-by: Ross Gardler: [ ](clerezza) Reinhard Poetz: [ ](clerezza) Shepherd notes:
(incubating since November 27th, 2009) Clerezza is a framework and set of components designed to make it easy to build applications for the semantic and the social web. Although Clerezza could technically graduate, activity has been very low and diminishing since 2010, especially regarding the content management components. The reusable RDF libraries are used in Stanbol for example and see slightly more activity. We've started a discussion about the future of Clerezza, with a proposal to move those reusable libraries to another project, probably Stanbol, and terminate incubation of the other components. The goal is to have a decision on this within a few days. Signed-off-by: bdelacretaz (mentor), jukka IPMC comments: jukka: See also Stanbol's TLP report to the board.
(incubating since November 27th, 2009) Clerezza is a framework and set of components designed to make it easy to build applications for the semantic and the social web. Graduation: As in our last report in May, we believe Clerezza should graduate soon, but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet. Activity is currently fairly low, and it looks like Clerezza might remain a small/low activity project, but the PPMC is functional, has done releases and invited additional committers so there's no need to stay in the Incubator any longer once a plan to attempt to grow the community is in place. This plan has been discussed, and mostly involves better exposing Clerezza's reusable components. The current docs mostly present the content management aspects of Clerezza, which require adopting it as a whole, although several modules are useful on their own for tasks related to RDF data and/or triple stores. Making it clearer which modules are useful on their own should help grow the community. How has the community developed since the last report: No changes since last report. How has the project developed since the last report: Some project restructuring to facilitate releasing individual modules. Next steps: - Release individual modules. - Improve docs on reusing parts of Clerezza. - Graduate. Signed-off-by: jukka, bdelacretaz (mentor) IPMC comments: jukka: +1 to attempts to regain lost momentum
(incubating since November 27th, 2009) Clerezza is a framework and set of components designed to make it easy to build application for the semantic and the social web. Graduation: We believe Clerezza will be ready to graduate soon. Currently discussions for a plan for community development are ongoing. Once a plan for community development has been defined we can discuss graduation. Documentation and tutorials are still in need of improvement and this may be addressed as part of the community development plan but we believe lacking documentation alone should not stand in the way of graduation. How has the community developed since the last report: The cooperation with the Apache Stanbol project has been improved with two Stanbol committers becoming Clerezza committers. How has the project developed since the last report. - We successfully released Clerezza (0.2-incubating). - Apache Wink has accepted a patch by a Clerezza developer. This presents an opportunity to replace our own JAX-RS implementation with Wink's. - Discussions about the release process and its documentation have taken place. We have identified possible problems with our version policy and release process when releasing only a subset of the modules Clerezza consists of. It is our intention to be able to make such releases. No conclusion has been reached yet. - A drop of activity in the second half of this quarter (after the release). This can be partially explained with the fact that many developers use Clerezza in other projects and the release caused a temporary shift in focus on those projects.

(incubating since November 27th, 2009) Clerezza is a framework and set of components designed to make it easy to build application for the semantic and the social web. A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Manage to get first release out and establish a process to do this faster in the future. 2. Better documentation and tutorials on how to build apps with Clerezza. 3. We need to discuss a plan for community development with our mentors for the next board report. The next report will contain some clear actions. Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of: Creating a release turned out to be more difficult than expected, mostly due to legal/licensing issues. We hope that once this is resolved for the first release it will be easier for subsequent releases. While progress has been slow, we think the next release candidate will be proposed very soon. Nothing is blocking progress but the legal problems have been discovered late and were time consuming to repair - also because we have no experience with this so far. How has the community developed since the last report: - A new interesting person has shown up on the mailing lists. - Patch contributed by non-committer. - Domeo Annotation Toolkit is using Clerezza (http://annotationframework.org/). How has the project developed since the last report. - Changes to project structure and naming as a result of trying to create a release. - Work to meet legal requirements / consolidate NOTICE/LICENSE files. - Bug-fixes.

When is code acceptable into trunk, when is it legitimate to veto changes with a -1 and what should the consequences be. As a consequence to these discussions a "contributing" page was added to the project site: http://incubator.apache.org/clerezza/contributing/ - Daniel Spicar accepted as new contributor. - Registration of Apache Clerezza for an evaluation through OSS Award (http://www.ossaward.ch/) How has the project developed since the last report. - The code has been improved to a stage ready for release. Procedure for releasing the code base has been initiated. We are now very closed to a first release, already 3 release candidates have been presented for voting. Hoping that soon an acceptable one will be proposed.
