[Report] Apache Stanbol, November 2016

[Fabian Christ <fc...@apache.org>]

Hi Stanbolers,

I did submit the following report to the board for the November 2016
board meeting.

Status report for the Apache Stanbol Project - November, 2016

Apache Stanbol provides a set of reusable components for semantic content
management.

The project finally managed to invite two new PMC members. One of these
two new members, Rafa Haro, also managed to cut a release after more than
two years without a major release.

From the technical side the project is doing okay now. The release helps
people to use Stanbol in a stable manner. However, the ongoing development
is rather slow and no plans were made until now for future releases.

The project chair started a discussion about electing a new chair who is
much more involved in the daily business of Stanbol. Since the current
chair has less time for Stanbol (the missed reports is a clear indication),
it may be good to handover to someone else. However, it is not the intention
to just drop the job but to drive the discussion for a new chair.
