THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
## Description:
- Apache Streams unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- We have completed all known PMC setup, infra, code, and website refactoring work due to graduation.
- We now have streams.apache.org on CI/CD with no manual steps for the first time ever.
- We have completed our first TLP release, Apache Streams 0.5.1.
- Apache Streams 0.5.1 adds code for interfacing with Twitter’s new account activity and enterprise search APIs, and removes our dependency on the external twitter4j project (which had a category X json.org dependency)
- Apache Kibble expressed interested in integrating Streams to collect social media profiles and activity - a perfect use case and opportunity to grow the community.
- Several new faces submitted and reviewed pull requests this quarter.

- More tweets and blog posts of zeppelin notebooks demonstrating data pipelines and analyses based on Apache Streams.
- More official examples in source tree demonstrating integration of Apache Streams with complementary technologies.
- Improve the interfaces by which components are created, configured, activated, and executed via SDK and CLI.
- Official Binaries and Containers that can be integrated with Apache Kibble.
- Reduce disparities between normalized activities and objects of like type collected from various data sources.
- Reduce disparities between the configuration objects that initialize similar providers from various data sources.
