Jena monthly report / March

Jena not-much-to-report report:

Still waiting for HP to sign a software grant.

Text on wiki copied below.

Would a mentor please sign it off if there is no comments/revisions 
within 72 hours?  Thanks

Jena

Jena was accepted into the Apache Incubator November 2010
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201011.mbox/%3C4CEC31E4.9080401@apache.org%3E). 
It is an existing project migrating to ASF. It has a large
codebase that provides a semantic web framework in Java that implements
the key W3C recommendations for the core semantic web technologies of
RDF and SPARQL.

Three most important issues to address for graduation:

* Create a code base in Apache with legal clearance.
* Establish the Apache-based community for developers, contributors and
users
* Create and communicate open project processes aligned to Apache

Issues for the Incubator PMC or ASF Board:

None.

Community development:

We have started to advertise the existence of Apache-hosted mailing 
lists. Traffic on these lists continues to grow.

The development community is growing on Apache infrastructure.  A 
significant new piece of functionality for th e SPARQL query engine is 
being developed via contributions and discussion on JIRA.

Project development:

The mailing lists and JIRA are now being used - we'll start more active 
migration of mailing lists when the code migrates.

We are still awaiting the software grant from HP. As this is the 
majority of the codebase, we are waiting for this before migrating any 
code into Apache SVN. We understand that HP is actively working on this.
