[lewis john mcgibbney <le...@apache.org>]

The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and
persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key
value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with
extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support.

Overall Project Activity since last report

Project activity on the run up to the 0.4 release was excellent.

Gora has featured in Black Duck Software's Open Source
Delivers blog with a guest post. Gora is also featuring in
the London HBase Users Group meet up towards the end of
May.
