# Marmotta Board Report for Feb. 2017

## Description: 

Apache Marmotta, an Open Platform for Linked Data.

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

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
   
## Activity: 

A very quiet quarter in the project, both in terms of development and mailing
lists activity.

The project struggles to find new challenges and people to activelly
work on the project. This issue has been discussed several times, still
looking for a sustainable solution.

A release is long overdue (now more than two years since the
last!). After the last report in November there was some small and
short-lived development activity to resolve the remaining issues, but
without much progress.

## Health report: 

The project was considered feature-complete in 3.3.0. The current release 
cicle (3.4.0) focused on refining and fixing bug, plus incorporation some 
non-core new features. The development (issues, commits, emails) has 
significantly come down in the last year.
