[DRAFT] Apache Jena report (October 2020)
## Description:
The mission of Jena is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Java framework for building Semantic Web applications
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Jena was founded 2012-04-18 (8 years ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 9:7.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Aaron Coburn on 2019-01-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Greg Albiston on 2019-07-08.
## Project Activity:
Jena usually does a release every 3-4 months. As noted last report,
3.15.0 has a problem with one of the server binaries, and new users have
ran into problems. The project released 3.16.0 with a fix in July; user
email and StackOverflow questions about the issue have dropped off.
## Community Health:
The original Jena project (pre-ASF) celebrated it's 20th birthday!
The first public release of code was 28th August 2000. We held a
community event online, kindly hosted by the Lotico meetup, to mark the
occasion.
Claude Warren (PMC) organised a successful Jena track at ApacheCon with
talks about Jena itself and from project using Jena.
While the statistics show a reduction in activity and emails, a dip in
the northern hemisphere summer is not unusual. The number of outstanding
JIRA has increased slightly, by about 5 tickets.

BTW a cursory interest shows
Jena ranks 2nd among all "DB-Engines Ranking of RDF Stores". Up one
position from last year :) Only topped in popularity by MarkLogic
https://db-engines.com/en/ranking/rdf+store
that said most RDF stores are down in the overall ranking at DB-Engines
Ranking
Oct 2019 | 2020
Jena 95 > 102
Of course most of the so called "relational stores" lead the top ranks
again, with the notable exception of MongoDB which is listed as a "document
store". at rank 5.
