Dear all, Apache Marmotta is an implementation of the Linked Data Platform and accompanying services. In the last months, we have migrated our old source code to the Apache infrastructure and tried to adapt the Apache policies in all parts of the project. In particular, we have fixed all remaining licensing issues and spent much time on developing the appropriate NOTICE and LICENSE files.
We have executed 8 voting cycles on release candidates throughout the last weeks and we think we are now (finally) ready to really do the release. The vote on release candidate RC8 has been open for more than 72 hours on the developer mailinglist [1]. After closing the vote, we have the following voting results: - 2 binding votes (from the mentors Andy Seaborne and Nandana Mihindukulasooriya) - 6 non-binding votes (the remaining developers) I'd therefore like to ask now the general incubator to check our release candidate. Since this is our first release, please check thoroughly, I'd like to be sure we did not miss anything. The release notes (fixed issues) are available at the Jira Issue Tracker [2].
