# Marmotta Board Report for September, 2017; # out-of-band report for missed report in Aug. ## 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 major issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: Another period of low activity, also caused by an extra summer-low. We're still struggling to ensure the midterm viability of the project. Google Summer of Code brought us an engaged student working on the task of upgrading from Sesame to Eclipse RDF4J. The codebase shows good progress, but was not finished due to open issues within the codebase and third-party libraries. More details in our wiki (https://s.apache.org/tVx6) and the related PR (https://s.apache.org/o38k) ## Health report: The project was considered feature-complete in 3.3.0. The current release cycle (3.4.0) focuses on refining and fixing bug, plus incorporation some non-core new features.
