OpenJena

The Jena platform will become an independent open source project from 
the end of October.  Many current members of the Jena team will remain 
involved in further enhancements to the Jena codebase, including 
supporting the user community such as jena-dev mailing list [1].

We have a new server

 http://openjena.org/

The code will remain licensed under a BSD-style license and, with HP's 
support and assistance, we are in discussions to transfer the copyright 
to a neutral, non-profit, organisation.

The development process remains on SourceForge, including the main 
download area and development CVS and SVN repositories. The change to an 
independent open source project will enable us to continue and expand 
the core developer community, and will make it easier to accept 
contributions through the SourceForge patches tracker. The main download 
area and development CVS and SVN repositories remain on SourceForge.  We 
have no plans to change the package naming, aiming to minimise any 
changes to Jena users.

We would like to thank all of the various customers, users, research 
groups and individual contributors we have worked with over the years as 
we have built the Jena platform to its current state and hope we will 
continue working togther as the project moves to a new phase. We look 
forward to future enhancements to Jena's capability, and to helping to 
create other exciting developments in Semantic Web technologies and 
products.
