Marmotta Board Report for February 2016
=======================================

Apache Marmotta, an Open Platform for Linked Data.

Apache Marmotta was founded in December 2012 and has graduated from the
Incubator in November 2013.

Another low activity quarter, with just small developments towards what the
project should release as 3.4.0 in the upcoming weeks. The stability of the 
source code is heading the project to get more focused activity out there, 
getting quite some interesting contributions to improve the performance.

One the 3.4 milestone, the project already discussed to take bigger steps for
a new release (4.0?), where new fresh things, like Java 8 and Sesame 4, should
come in.

The last developments regarding geospatial querying (GeoSPARQL) have reached
the news with, not only posts at the ASF/OGC blogs, but also at some 
third-party media.

We are already trying to find the resources necessary to adapt the project
identity (mainly logo) to the new look recently adopted by The Foundation.
