Draft Jena report : July 2013
Draft for this quarters board report.
Andy
-------------
== Project Description
Apache Jena is a Java framework for building Semantic Web and Linked
Data applications based on W3C and community standards.
== Issues
There are no issues to raise with the board.
== Releases
Jena 2.10.1 released on 2013-05-15
Jena SDB 1.3.6 released on 2013-05-30
== PMC
Committer/PMC last added: Jan 2013
== Activity
dev@ list: 150-200 messages a month
users@ list: 200-300 messages a month
1/ Jena has a GSoC project just getting under way, hoping to add spatial
query to the RDF query language, SPARQL.
2/ There has been a contribution of website redesign which is gathering
a lot of support.
3/ The developer community is dealing with one module, SDB (RDF query
over SQL databases), that has up to now been released sporadically and
separately.
The last release managed to get the necessary 3 +1's but the module
receives very little in the way of contributions from the whole
community. The committers (who don't use it) have kept it working as
the main codebase changes.
The current plan is to include in the main release on a maintenance
basis on the understanding that any architectural changes to the main
system may cause it to be dropped unless active contributors emerge.

I don't think it is a bad thing to include a chunk of text about an issue
that is somewhat contentious in the community since it seems we as
developers would like to deprecate SDB long term and have no-one actively
maintaining it yet many in the community are using it.

Good point though I've just checked and there are 50-odd project reports
this month. It hadn't clicked it was that many; looks like less about
SDB would have been better.

Is it worth mentioning the new jena-text module has been integrated into
the code base as a replacement for the old LARQ module and has been well
received by the community in SNAPSHOT testing. I know you were
essentially the main author but since it was developed internally at
Epimorphics and then contributed to Jena this may be worth mentioning.
Otherwise looks good, can't think of anything else obviously missing.
