## 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 a lot of changes occurring in the APIs of our supported data sources.  Due primarily to the EU's GDPR legislation, a user's ability to collect profiles and posts from accounts other than the authenticated account is being limited.
- On the other hand comprehensive data about the authenticated account (sometimes via bulk export not via API) is becoming richer, presenting an opportunity for the project to assist users in awareness of the data collected about them by third-parties, and with data portability between systems using bulk export archives.


## Activity:

- We released Apache Streams 0.6.0, coordinated by a new release manager (number 5).
- We made progress toward including a binary artifact in an upcoming release.

## Health report:

## Upcoming Project Initiatives:
- Complete preparations for a binary release.

- Integrate new binary release with Apache Kibble.
- Add new providers that source streams from export archives of existing data sources (twitter, facebook, google).
- 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.
- Drop remaining maven dependencies on java SDKs for accessing third-party APIs in favor of HTTP/REST interfaces powered by Apache Juneau Remoteable Annotations.
- Improve the interfaces by which components are created, configured, activated, and executed via SDK and CLI.
- 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.
- Add official support for Schema.org and Activity Streams 2.0 data types.
