Hi all, the Marmotta podling, whose goal is to provide an Open Platform for Linked Data, entered incubation in December 2012. Since then, the codebase has stabilized and two releases were published following ASF policies and guidelines. The community has grown, two new Committers have joined the development team and more people joined the mailing lists.
The last incubator report lists Marmotta as "Ready to graduate" [1], the Marmotta community has decided to take this step [2] and agreed on a Graduation Resolution Draft [3] which is attached below.
