Marmotta Board Report for May 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.

A quater with increasing activity, resuming quite some open developments 
towards what should be 3.4.0 sooner than later. The activity in the users 
mailing list continues increasing, with more new people joining there for 
questions and/or issues reports.

The interested on pushing 3.4.0 out has been resumed https://s.apache.org/d5Ob
Presumably, awaiting for some open issue, we should be able to get the new
release out within the next few weeks. That milestone would open the question 
about having an inflection point, where the project can more forward in many 
technical aspects (Java 8, RDF4J, etc).

Recently we have adapted our public images to the new ASF branding, slightly
renovating the project logo: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/marmotta/logo/v2/

Supported by the TAC, Sergio represented the project in the ApacheCon North 
America in Vancouver, giving a speech about the GeoSPARQL support. The talk 
took place in the context of the Geospatial track proposed by OGC for the 
Apache Big Data conference.
