Sergio Fernández gave a presentation on Marmotta, an open platform for linked data. He discussed Marmotta's main features like supporting read-write linked data and SPARQL/LDPath querying. He also covered Marmotta's architecture, timeline including joining the Apache incubator in 2012, and how its team of 11 committers from 6 organizations work using the Apache Way process. Fernández encouraged participation to help contribute code and documentation to the project.

- 11. Contributing there is a fairly obvious path: 1. be familiar with the Apache Way, especially about meritocracy 2. participate in the mailing lists and help (often more important than writing amazing code) 3. write code, add patches, unit tests and documentation In the earlier stages of the project, the bar is a bit lower, so it pays to join early!
