 Attachment S: Report from the Apache Gora Project  [Lewis John McGibbney]

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.

Project Releases

The last release of Gora (0.3) was on 8th May 2013. A number of
issues have been included within a 0.4 roadmap which we are
working towards.

Overall Project Activity since last report

Project activity has been steady. Mailing list activity has followed
usual trends, however our dev list saw the second highest ever level of
traffic during the month of July.
We moved to Apache CMS for our website and documentation so more adhoc
commits have been made since the last reporting period.
Since the last release >11 issues have been resolved, some of these major
in scope. We have also seen some new community members posting code
to our Jira instance which is great. We hope to integrate this in to
trunk for 0.4 release.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Gora was presented at this years CassandraSummit in SFO during June.
We were successful in being awarded two places for this years Google
Summer of Code program. Mid Term reporting has just taken place and
one project will be continuing.
Mailing list numbers have increased to
user:46
dev:62
