October podling report draft - please comment

Hi,

I started the podling report for the ASF board, due on Wednesday. Any
comments are appreciated. In particular, it needs some content for "How has
the project developed since the last report" section.

Thanks,
Adina

**************
Rya

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. 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?

 * Moving towards graduation: restarted discussion on graduation and
started to complete the items required for this step
 * 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?

 *

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Hi there,

Thanks for adding SWC as a contributor.
Besides my colleague Jürgen, we have additional 2 team members (including
me) currently working with Rya. And our focus is on Rya with mongoDB flavor.
The immediate goal is to learn the code base and find out how it integrates
with our software stack (PoolParty Semantic Suite).  Spoiler: so far so
good!
In general, I want to know hot to help the code base.

Best regards from Vienna,
Timea

Thank you all for comments. I updated the report and submitted it. Here is
the latest version:


Rya

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. 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

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Awesome. That's great to hear, Jürgen!

Looking forward to looks of interaction with you and your coworkers.

i'd support mentioning the folks from semantic web company :-)
(it's certainly not going to be drive-by as well)

we will be using rya during the next three years intensively for one of our
research projects (h2020 => logistar)

we just setup a fork on our official github. using this we will commit step
by step a lot of issues that we've
already tested on our local installations (on different nodes and on DC/OS)
including accumulo/hdfs/libthrift version upgrades
and a new shiny sparqlendpoint conforming to all standards. we do this on a
step by step basis now, to be able to create
meaningful and contained pull requests..

New contributors are good to mention (as long as they're not "drive-by" 
contributions where you don't expect future contributions).

Would it be appropriate to mention the relatively new involvement of the
good folks at Semantic Web Company?
This increases our diversity and stability.
