Last addition was Sheriffo Ceesay on 2019-10-01. ## Project Activity: - Except for several bug fixes, improvements and a security fix while considering development work, it has been a fairly quiet quarter for us. - Several members of Gora PMC have volunteered to be mentors for this years GSoC to increase community participation. - There were several contributions from external people and we are also in process of inviting one potential contributor for Gora PMC / Committership once his major contributions are merged. ## Community Health: - Our main communication medium gora development mailing lists were mostly quiet for past quarter. We believe this is mainly due to holidays period. We are hoping to bring some energy with GSoC and new development drive work for the next release. However we could also observe some level of JIRA and Github related activity for past quarter.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Project activity has been low. Nothing worrying as we shipped 0.8
not too long ago and have received no big fixes in that period. The
PMC discussed evolving the project description. The new descripion
can be seen above, this reflects several years of GSoC contributions
and a wide variety of community input over the years.

Post GSoC and 0.8 release, things have quietened somewhat. The
mailing lists however are still active and queries are answered
in a timely manner.

efforts from 2016 as well as some key upgrades to various datastores to
align them with other projects.
## Health report:
The project is successfully retaining interest with several PMC/community
members VOTE'ing on our 0.7 release candidate. We've added a number of new
modules as a result of continued GSoC participation. It is probably a good
time for the community to reach back out to Apache projects and see
where else Gora can/should integrate.

- Gora has recently seen some encouraging activity for new community members
in the form of bug fixes. We have one blocking issue prior to our 0.7 release.
This has been pending for quite some time.
## Health report:

which, if released, could help the community spirit. We are still working on
the 0.7 blocker, however once done we can VOTE.

## Activity:
- Gora has come off the back of a very productive summer. The
proect has seen two new modules being committed however they
have not been released. The next goal is for the PMC and
Commiter base to push the 0.7 release.
## Health report:
- A number of Gora modules are slightly behind, however what
we support is stable. We had excellent representation... yet
again at ApacheCon where one of our GSoC students clearly displayed
how flexible as framework Gora truly is. JCache is now supported over
any Gora datastore implementation. A huge win for those that want and
require object-to-datastore transactions.

In recent months we have added a number of modules to the codebase
from external contributors.

## Description:
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.
## Issues:
there are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Gora is participating in Google Summer of Code program again with two
projects namely; https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-437 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-295 which provide new
datastores for CouchDB and dynamic support for Cache Providers using
JCache respectively. We are looking forward to a good summer.
## Health report:
Activity remains on the dev@ mailing list with user@ being virtually
unused. A number of bugs have been identified over in projects
which consume Gora and fixes have been posted to thw Gora Jira
and committed to master branch. We will be looking at releasing
0.7 fairly soon once the remaining bugs have been ironed out.

## Description:
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.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Gora has seen a reasonable degree of activity in this last while.
We've seen new members coming to report bugs (which have been fixed),
as well as evidence that Gora is being used in a number of big data
search stacks with some possible module contributions coming our way.
We have only one or two issues before we are ready to release Gora 0.7.
Lewis John McGibbney gave a Gora lightening talk @NASA JPL.
Work is ongoing to build a Gora-backed Log4j2 NoSQL appender.
## Health report:
More or less all of the Gora correspondence happens on dev@. We very
rarely have individual coming to user@. Of the ML traffic on dev@
the overwhelming majority of it is Jira and Github correspondence.
Generally speaking however, if we have new bug reports filed, they
are acted upon in a reasonable timeframe.

Activity:
Since our successful GSoC project it's been a relatively quiet
reporting period for Gora however we have seen some activity
and interest around the Gora CI testing suite and also
an upgrade to the gora-accumulo module which is excellent.
Some new community members are working on the Gora Ci test suite
and we aim to run this towards the end of the month.

Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.5) was on 20th September, 2014. Overall Project Activity since last report Consistent and encouraging. We see most activity happening on the dev@ list which is normal. There has been a consistent level of contribution to the codebase and community lists since the last reporting period. Recent activity includes work on utilising ASF Infra's Rackspace resources to run our GoraCI testing suite, an excellent effort to provide a suite of extension bridges to Gora from other langauges and upgrades of key module dependencies. The PMC are currently VOTE'ing on the release of Gora 0.6. It looks like 0.6 will be released by the February board meeting. When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.5) was on 20th September, 2014. Overall Project Activity since last report Consistent and encouraging. We see most activity happening on the dev@ list which is normal. Additionally since the 0.5 release we've seen a number of communities that depend on Gora upgrade. We've seen a number of issues identified in use of Gora downstream and reported back to us. This is encouraging meaning that more people are adopting the software. Work is ongoing to have Gora implemented within Apache OODT as an object-to-datastore abstraction for the OODT FileManager component. When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.4) was on 24th April, 2014. This is a major release for the project with many improvements. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity on the run up to the 0.4 release was excellent. We've received a number of contributions from non-pmc/committers which is really positive. One such individual is now part of our PMC. The Gora PMC recently VOTE'd to move to Git as primary SCM. Kudos to Jake Farrell and Infra for ridiculously quick turnaround on migration.

We've received a number of contributions from non-pmc/committers which is really positive. Work is ongoing on GORA_94 a branch of the trunk code which focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our legacy Avro dependencies from 1.3.3 to 1.7.X. As this is a major undertaking therefore once this is addressed we will be pushing a release candidate for 0.4. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Apostolos Giannakidis as PMC member and committer on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd). How has the community developed since the last report? Shadowing overall project activity the community mailing lists and Jira have seen contributions from new faces and new names. This is very positive for the project showing that people are not only using Gora but are keen to engage in development. Mailing list numbers are as follows user@: from 49 --> 57 dev@: from 60 --> 64 commits@ from NA --> 26 Changes to PMC & Committers Apostolos Giannakidis joined as PMC member and committer on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd).

Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.3) was on 8th May 2013. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been reasonably quiet with much less mailing list activity than the summer quarter. There has however been promising activity from a new member of the community Yasin Tamer. We are currently working on GORA_94 a branch of the trunk code which focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our legacy Avro dependencies from 1.3.3 to 1.7.5. As this is a major undertaking therefore once this is addressed we will be pushing a release candidate for 0.4. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Roland von Herget joined as PMC member and committer on Thu, 7th Mar 2013. How has the community developed since the last report? Gora again participated in this years Google Summer of Code program. Our student Apostolos Giannakidis successfully completed his project and Renato Marroquin (already a member of the Gora PMC) was also successful in integrating Gora into Apache Giraph as part of his GSoC project.

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 ad-hoc 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 Changes to PMC & Committers Nothing to report.

Project Releases The Apache Gora team was extremely happy to announce the release of Gora 0.3 on 8th May 2013. VOTE'ing and the release management procedure seems to be working well for the community and it was great to get the code released. Overall Project Activity since last report Generally project activity has been fairly steady. We have been working towards our 0.3 release with one issue (flagged upstream within Nutch) posing quite a problem from a technical viewpoint. The 0.3 release candidate was initially delayed with the intent of addressing this issue however a decision was made to push the RC and address it in 0.4. The user list has seen usual very low traffic. Our dev list has seen 236, 110 and 55 posts (so far) for the months March, April and May respectively. We've recently seen some contributions and activity from newer community members brought to Gora by Google Summer of Code (GSoC). The Gora community decided to move to Apache CMS for publishing documentation and we are currently deciding on when to push the staging site live. How has the community developed since the last report? We have had some interest (mainly streamed down from the Nutch community) regarding improving Gora for specific use cases and more generally. user@gora has 33 subscribers dev@gora has 54 subscribers PMC members Renato and Lewis are preparing and presenting Gora at this years Cassandra Summit in San Francisco in July. This is another attempt to build Gora out more. We have seen a number of students come forward and propose projects for this years GSoC. This is great news for Gora and we are optimistic about working to make the Gora community better. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Roland von Herget join our ranks on Thu, 7th Mar 2013. Roland also joined the Gora PMC.

Project Releases The Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2.1 on 7th August 2012. No releases have been made since however a clear strategy has been established for the 0.3 release. Overall Project Activity since last report Since last reporting, the PMC has geared the development drive towards the 0.3 release. We have addressed and resolved 28 of 33 issues meaning that the progression towards an RC for 0.3 is well on the way. We currently have two blockers which nee to be addressed before we can consider the 0.3 RC. How has the community developed since the last report? Activity on the user@ list has been very slow since last reporting. It was invisaged that after ApacheConEU user interest might pick up slightly, however this has not materialized as we hoped. Activity on dev@ has developed in line with our expectations as we move towards more regular Gora releases. Generally speaking more work needs to be done in an attempt to make it easier for people to use Gora. This is something which the PMC need to work on. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Alfonso Nishikawa join our ranks in early December. After working with the PMC to ensure smooth transition into the Apache community Alfonso is now contributing to Gora and making a real impact. Alfonso also joined the Gora PMC. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). We are still actively seeking one or more members to join the team from the Avro community so this will be a main target for us in the future post 0.3 release.

Project Releases The Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2.1 on 7th August 2012. No releases have been made since. Overall Project Activity since last report The last report quoted that good progress was being made on the GSoC project, these efforts have now come to fruition with the recent merge of a goraamazon branch with the trunk code. The entire efforts which went into GSoC project can now be leveraged and enjoyed by Gora users and dev's. In all 17 of 77 issues have been addressed since we last reported. How has the community developed since the last report? Our GSoC student (and now PMC member and Committer) Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo recently presented on Gora @ACEU, continued exposure of this calibre will most certainly aid in building out the community. We have also witnessed Gora users from outside the typical community posting presentations based on Gora use cases, as well as a significant portion of Julien Nioche's presentation (on Apache Nutch) @ACEU focussing on Gora. Not only is this encouraging but also shows that interest in Gora is growing as the technology matures. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo join as PMC and Committer. This was the result of a long summers participation in the GSoC project as well as Renato's interest in getting the Gora brand out there at this years ACEU. We look forward to more contributions which build on the great work done over the summer. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). Within the scope of the 0.3 development drive is an extensive upgrade of the Avro code, so we will be vigilant in attracting new members. Project Branding or Naming issues NONE Legal issues NONE

Project Releases The Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2.1 on 7th August 2012. More regular Gora releases are certainly having a significant impact downstream within the Apache Nutch community as we witnessed the release of Nutch 2.0 (which relies heavily on Apache Gora). The Gora 0.2.1 release artifacts will be put to good use within the next development drive over in Nutch. Overall Project Activity since last report A community decision was made to make an incremental 0.2.X release as it was deemed that enough ground had been achieved to justify the release. The release includes >10 bug fixes, about the same in improvements. Work has been going well with the google summer of code project and we look forward to reviewing this work and merging it into Gora trunk once the PMC is satisfied with it. Finally we have a significant patch for a complete re-work of the Avro implementations within Gora. This provides an excellent contribution to Gora and will certainly be included in the next release. How has the community developed since the last report? The community spirit has remained positive and can only get better now that we are releasing on a more incremental basis. Our GSoC student Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo and Lewis McGibbney have submitted a joint proposal to the forthcoming ApacheCon EU based entirely on Gora so we hope that this will also enable us to build out the community. As briefly mentioned above, a significant Avro contribution was received from Ed Kohwley which is very positive. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Kazuomi Kashii join the PMC. This was the result from Kaz's significant work within the gora-cassandra module and various discussions with other community members. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). Within the scope of the 0.3 development drive is an extensive upgrade of the Avro code, so we will be vigilant in attracting new members. We also look forward to the progression of GSoC. Hopefully our student progresses to become part of the Gora team in due course. Project Branding or Naming issues NONE Legal issues NONE

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 Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2 on 24th April 2012 (1st since graduation from the Incubator). During the process of this release, the team managed to simplify the release process somewhat so we look forward to the shift towards a more incremental release policy within the project as a whole. As a side note, an experimental branch of Nutch is now very close to a community VOTE further to the recent Gora 0.2 release. Overall Project Activity since last report The majority of work directly concerned the 0.2 release as mentioned above. Since then there have been a few commits, however there has also been some encouraging conversation with respect to our site migration to the Apache CMS. We currently have some 50 odd issues to work on within the 0.3 development drive. How has the community developed since the last report? Encouragingly we have had a number of new issues logged on Jira from new Gora users. On most occasions this has sparked decent conversations however we are lacking patches from these new Gora users. Some excellent news was that our Gora Amazon DynamoDB Google Summer of Code project was succesfully accepted into this years programme. The prospective student, Renato has been on list and we look forward to kicking things off later this month. Changes to PMC & Committers NONE PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). Within the scope of the 0.3 development drive is an extensive upgrade of the Avro code, so we will be vigilant in attracting new members. We also look forward to the progression of GSoC. Hopefully our student progresses to become part of the Gora team in due course. Project Branding or Naming issues NONE Legal issues NONE
Apache Gora 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 official project release was made on 24/09/2011 which was the 0.1.1-incubating release (2nd whilst in the Incubator). Since last reporting there have been few commits but the ones we've seen have been fairly significant. The community is currently in discussion regarding a 0.2 release candidate and it is hoped that we will see a Gora 0.2 release by mid/end April. Overall Project Activity since last report Activity shadows last months average, with nothing exceptional taking place. A blocker issue with our usage of a particular sql library has been dealt with, additionally Keith Turner was able to commit his gora-accumulo module, as the distribution of Accumulo was released and available for us to use. Ferdy committed a nice piece of work which now provides users with the ability to properly support multiple data store implementations in parallel. We've also seen keen interest for our proposed GSoC project which is to add a gora-Amazon DynamoDB module to the project and look forward to picking up traction with this in the near future. Finally our Hadoop core and test dependencies have been upgraded to Hadoop 1.0.1 which also paves the way for the Avro upgrade post 0.2 release. How has the community developed since the last report? We recently received (rather encouragingly) that someone struggled to join the user@ list. This was because this list did not exist, it has however now been created. We've had some questions coming into the project regarding the hbase module, and whether or not we were going to support certain features within Gora, however unfortunately none of these issues lead to any commits from outside the existing community. Changes to PMC & Committers NONE PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). There is work to be done with the Avro implementations, so once we are 100% ready to work on these issues, we will be looking to interest members of the Avro community in Gora. It would also be nice to attract members of the Hector and Cassandra community so we will work towards this goal. Project Branding or Naming issues NONE Legal issues NONE
Apache Gora 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 official project release was made on 24/09/2011 which was the 0.1.1-incubating release (2nd whilst in the Incubator). Although since last reporting there have been some commits to three Gora modules, some remaining issues still need to be addressed before we are ready to roll out a 0.2 release. This is rather frustrating, as the main issue which blocks a 0.2 release is a licensing issue on the gora-sql store. It is widely acknowledged that although gora-sql is the least used module, it is the one which requires attention to rectify this licensing issue. Overall Project Activity since last report Since graduation all documentation, and infrastructure has been successfully migrated over to TLP status. We've witnessed development and commits to three datastores and a number of issues addressed as a result. It is safe to say that the gora-hbase store seems to be attracting the most development, however there are also a number of issues which have recently been opened for the gora-cassandra module. In the last report we stated that there were two new modules in the process of being integrated into the project (namely gora-accumulo and gora-solr), however due to ongoing issues with releases for Solr and Accumulo, we are not able to release the gora modules. How has the community developed since the last report? The Gora mailing lists have seen some activity with regards to gora-accumulo, however generally speaking traffic was quite low for the month until this report. We do however have some excellent news that we are submitting an application to Google Summer of Code. The project comprises a gora-dynamodb (Amazon Dynamo DB) module, again making best efforts to open up Gora to a wider audience. Changes to PMC & Committers Since VOTE'ing Keith Turner on to the team no new members have been accepted into the Gora development team. Additionally, no new VOTE'ing has taken place. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list). There is work to be done with the Avro implementations, so once we are 100% ready to work on these issues, we will be looking to interest members of the Avro community in Gora. Project Branding or Naming issues We recently sorted out all branding and trademark issues through trademarks@. As this has been addressed there is no more to add at this stage. Legal issues We currently have an issue with one particular library being used within the gora-sql store. It is the communities intention to remove this LGPL licensed library from the codebase replacing it with implementations from JOOQ an ASL 2.0 licensed library. A re-write of the gora-sql module building from the JOOQ library has been delayed until after our 0.2 release, an interim solution comprises simply replacing the offending code with TODO's. Although technically this makes the gora-sql module unfit for production use, it does allow us to progress with releasing Gora 0.2. The community can then move towards a rewrite of the gora-sql module for a 0.3 release.
Apache Gora Apache Gora is an open source framework providing 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 Hadoop MapReduce support. Project Releases The last official project release was made on 24/09/2011 which was the 0.1.1-incubating release (2nd whilst in the Incubator). Discussion has surfaced on the project development strategy for spinning a 0.2 RC within the next month or so. In addition to the numerous improvements made between 0.1.1-incubating and 0.2 we plan to implement two additional data store modules, namely gora-solr and gora-accumulo. The addition of these modules not only drives the project towards its extended project description and aspirations, but will also ensure that Apache Gora is extended to two diverse and active communities with the ASF. Overall Project Activity since last report Since reporting we have identified several improvements to be made to the codebase. These issues are actively being worked on, however the task of migrating all Gora infrastructure to TLP status is currently taking precedence. In terms of project activity, over the last month, our mailing lists have witnessed sustainable levels of activity with noticeably higher volumes of traffic. Daniel Shahaf has done an excellent job of migrating the overwhelming majority of the incubator infrastructure over to TLP configuration. How has the community developed since the last report? Having just been accepted into the ASF as a TLP, the Gora PMC is pleased to announce that having VOTE'd we have successfully attracted one new committer and PMC member, Keith Turner. In addition we've become aware of some other more discrete members of the community chipping in. This is promising, as members from communities as far afield as Apache James are actively monitoring the Gora development lists. Additionally we have connected with members of the JOOQ community regarding a possible re-write of the gora-sql module as well as members of the Hector Developers community, a formal announcement was made on 15/01/2012 (cross posted to the Hector user lists) which states continued and committed support for the Hector client API within the gora-cassandra module. This was followed by members of the Hector development team formally stating on the Gora dev lists that they are happy to work collaboratively to make both Hector and Gora better projects. Changes to PMC & Committers The Gora PMC is pleased to announce that Keith Turner was VOTE'd in as PMC member and Committer. Hopefully by the time this report is presented to the Board, Keith will be on board and able to actively maintain and improve the gora-accumulo module, also opening Gora up to the Accumulo community. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr to name a few. Once Keith's credentials are processed we can add Accumulo to this list. This list is not exhaustive. Project Branding or Naming issues As we migrate the website to the TLP infrastructure we have created an issue on the Gora Jira to ensure that all ASF branding and naming guidelines are implemented fully and that Apache Gora is in compliance. Legal issues We currently have an issue with one particular library being used within the gora-sql store. It is the communities intention to remove this LGPL licensed library from the codebase replacing it with implementations from JOOQ an ASL 2.0 licensed library.

Gora is an ORM framework for column stores such as Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra with a specific focus on Hadoop. A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation 1. Fix failing module tests within the Jenkins CI build 2. Update both project site and wiki documentation with specific emphasis on Hbase, Cassandra and SQL modules as well as the release process 3. Write tests for Cassandra module as this would provide an additional layer of consistency to the project. This is fundamental before a 0.2-incubating release. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? 1. The Gora PPMC recently voted to extend an invitation to Ferdy Galema, he has however noted that he is on holiday and will not be able to accept until his return. 2. The community plans a 0.2-incubating release soon, and it will likely coincide with the graduation VOTE that Chris Mattmann, champion for Gora, will put forth. How has the community developed since the last report? With the addition of Ferdy Galema, as stated above there has also been interest from one of Ferdy's colleagues and additionally Keith Turner who is working on the Accumulo (Apache Incubator) project. Keith's intention is to build a gora-accumulo store which would add significantly to Gora. The project is currently VOTE'ing on its graduation, at this thread: http://s.apache.org/AbC. So far community response looks good. If the VOTE passes, we'll head over to general@incubator and raise the VOTE there. If all is well on that VOTE, we're targetting a January 2012 resolution to the board. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. Gora 0.1.1-incubating was successfully released on 24 September 2011 which displays that the project has made 2 releases since entering the incubator. Additionally a Jenkins CI build has been established and work is on way to firstly fix the broken tests, before working to improve overall code test coverage. In particular the modular nature of the project meant that developers have decided that a Maven build was more appropriate than an Ant/Ivy implementation.
Gora is an ORM framework for column stores such as Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra with a specific focus on Hadoop. A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation 1. Port Gora code and license headers into ASF license headers. 2. Develop a strong community with organizational diversity and with infection into existing ASF projects like Nutch and Hadoop. 3. At least one Gora incubating release Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No, not at this time. How has the community developed since the last report? In July 2011, we elected Ioannis Cannelos to the Gora PPMC and as a Gora Committer. We've also had a lot of interest from the Nutch community lately (specifically Lewis John McGibbney) as they are trying to help us get a stable version of Gora 0.2 trunk out the door and working with Maven Central so that Nutch as a downstream consumer can leverage Gora in it's 2.0 trunk version. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. We are on RC #4 for Gora 0.1.1-incubating, a small patch to 0.1-incubating to get Maven dependencies working and a process in place. There has been some recent dev activity in trunk by Alexis Detreglode to get a new Cassandra back-end store in place, and improve upon the existing one. There are also efforts underway by Henry Saputra to get a CI build on Jenkins going for Gora.

Ever since the 0.1-incubating release, it's been kind of quiet. We did have a couple users (Yves Langisch, Joseph Vychtrle, Ioannis Canellos, and Marshall Pierce) pop on, report some issues, and help out. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. The 0.1-incubating release is out. We're currently working on a 0.1.1-incubating patch that includes an update to Gora-Hbase that will allow us to upgrade our existing jars on Maven Central. Once we roll 0.1.1 (Chris Mattmann will RM it), Nutch 2.0-trunk will upgrade to the Gora release shortly thereafter.

The IPMC and Gora PPMC have elected to add Alexis Detreglode as a Gora committer and PPMC member. Mailing list activity has been picking up. We've recently been fielding questions and even a patch from some of our users who are interesting in helping to maintain a Maven-based version of the build system. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. The project is currently rolling RC3 of our first 0.1-incubating release. Henry Saputra and Andrzej Bialecki are leading the way. The first 2 release candidates were tested, and we have been working with the Incubator and Gora communities to address all of the issues raised. We expect Apache Gora 0.1-incubating to be released within the month, and expect Nutch 2.0-trunk to upgrade to the Gora release shortly thereafter.

Mailing lists activity is mainly from Gora committers and mentors at present. The Gora devs did answer a question from a user regarding how to build Gora over the past month and a few user requests (for Maven Central publishing and a bugfix) were filed as well. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. Enis Soztutar and Hentry Saputra contributed a tutorial on Gora and added it to the website in GORA-16 and GORA-17. Eugen Paraschiv posted an issue in GORA-19 requesting that the Gora artifacts be published to Maven Central. A bugfix issue was contributed in GORA-18 by Ioannis Canellos that addressed configuration issues in the trunk. Chris Mattmann posted a note to the dev list suggesting a 0.1-incubating release and volunteering to be the RM. Henry Saputra stepped up and suggested he would be willing to do it, so it looks like we have the RM situation taken care of. Chris suggested checking out the OODT release process doc on the OODT wiki for some pointers on how to get started.

The community is slowly migrating over from Github. Mailing lists activity is mainly from Gora committers and mentors, though we have fielded a user question or two since the last report. Enis sent a link regarding the spring-data framework, a NoSQL solution from the Spring community. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. Work has effectively begun at the ASF. An Apache Forrest-based website has been stood up (GORA-2) at http://incubator.apache.org led by Enis Soztutar and Henry Saputra. Andrew Hart contributed a logo for GORA in GORA-3. Andrzej Bialecki has been leading the development of several Gora backends, including Ehcache (GORA-13), JDBM2 (GORA-14) and Solr (GORA-9). Other bugfixes and development discussions (e.g., GORA-12) have been churning along (with contributions from Dogacan Guney and others. The project's development is moving forward. A software grant was recorded on October 5, 2010 and Chris Mattmann set up the initial Gora Incubator tracking status page at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/gora.html in GORA-10.

No, not at this time. How has the community developed since the last report? There was a lot of positive interest from the Incubator community during the Gora proposal and voting process. Most of the existing Github community is in the process of moving over to the ASF. Mailing lists were *just* set up, so we expect the community to continue to blossom as we can now begin to effectively communicate out in the open. How has the project developed since the last report? Gora was voted into the Incubator by the IPMC on September 26, 2010. We've got mailing lists setup (INFRA-3017), SVN space (INFRA-3018), JIRA (INFRA-3019), and Confluence (INFRA-3020) thanks to Henry Saputra. Enis Soztutar just completed the code drop (see r1006024 and INFRA-3038) and created GORA-1 to track the issue. Enis also created GORA-2 to track standing up the Gora website. Enis and Andrzej Bialecki went through the Software Grant process, which was received and ACK'ed by Craig Russell in r25057, r25058, r25060, r25061, r25070, r25071, r25072, and r25073 of the foundation repository. Full steam ahead.
