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.

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.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increase diversity of committers
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?
* The community is moving towards graduation: restarted discussion on
graduation and started to complete the items required for this step
* We welcome new users and contributors from Semantic Web Company. A CCLA
from Semantic Web Company is being worked on.
* Received multiple logo proposals. Community discussed and voted a new
logo
* We lost two mentors, but the remaining two mentors are very responsive
and helpful
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Changed RdfFileInputTool to accept multiple input paths, so it can load
RDF data from multiple folders
* Changed from guava's iterators to Java collection's iterators to avoid
versioning issues due to the recent change in Guava's
Iterator.emptyIterator visibility
* Minor improvements to code and documentation

Comments: Discussion on dev@ that may be missed here, interest from
some new contributors ("semantic web company") seems to be genuine and
helps bolster diverse podling population. Hoping that graduation will
push to completion this time and not run out of steam as the last
times did.

Yoon [x](rya) Sean Busbey [x](rya) Venkatesh Seetharam Shepherd/Mentor notes: Sean Busbey (busbey): Project activity was a little slow, due to other time commitments for the dev community, but folks had a great discussion around next steps when it came time for a draft report.
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 have documented (on Confluence) and tested procedures for committers to review and incorporate Pull Requests into the incubator-rya Apache git repository. * The committers are becoming much more comfortable with the Apache infrastructure and processes. Committers have been documenting processes on Confluence, creating Jira tickets, tying these to Rya components and versions, and submitting and pulling in PRs to resolve these Jira tickets. * The Rya user community (i.e. non-committers) have begun submitting issues through Jira and the dev list. These have become Jira tickets, resolved by committers, and tested by the community. Specifically, the community submitted RYA-19, RYA-17, and RYA-6. Committers resolved and the community tested RYA-19 and RYA-17. * Non-committers have also begun submitting PRs that have been incorporated into the apache repo. Specifically, RYA-13 and most of RYA-7 was done by non-committers. * We've started logging "beginner" Jira tickets. These are issues that we've found in Rya that a new developer could take on as a good way to "get their feet wet" in the code base. How has the project developed since the last report? * We've completed adding the Apache license headers and added license header verification to the project's build. * Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered. * Committed features: Delete support for secondary indices, more efficient * Mongo Core and Geo indexing. * Still working on creating a website for the project. * Working on deploying artifacts onto Maven * Working on creating a quick-start VM for users to try out Rya.

Yoon [x](rya) Sean Busbey [x](rya) Venkatesh Seetharam Shepherd/Mentor notes: Josh Elser (elserj): Continuing to see growing activity, but not much collaboration between reviews among committers (saw some ignored comments on pull requests). Something to watch in the future.

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 33 subscribers to the dev list, about half of them non-committers. - 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. - Working on new features: inconsistency detection, cloning, delete support for secondary indices. - Still working on creating a website for the project.

PPMC proactively reaching out to mentors about ASF questions, which is great. Josh Elser (elserj): Steady progress being made by members. Nothing concerning to me.

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? All initial committers submitted their ICLAs and are subscribed to the dev and private mailing lists. There are 32 subscribers to the dev list. The initial committers are learning to use the Apache infrastructure and processes. We gave a presentation on Rya at Duke University, trying to increase awareness about the project. How has the project developed since the last report? Infrastructure is now set up (mailing lists, repositories, JIRA, etc) Getting the code reviewed for final publication took about 3 weeks, which was longer than we expected, but the code is now imported into the Apache git repository. We are working on creating a website for the project. Date of last release: Not applicable - the code was just imported into Apache repository When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Yoon [x](rya) Sean Busbey [x](rya) Venkatesh Seetharam Shepherd/Mentor notes: Sean Busbey (busbey): Getting things started took a bit, presumably due to the review needed to get the code out, but the fledging community has been responsive to feedback. The next month should give a better idea of how strong a hand the mentors will need to use.
