  5.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None

### How has the community developed since the last report?
Making great progress on the next gen suite (Foal), with input from the 
usual suspects and more than 20 issues/PRs resolved this quarter, as 
well as lots of traffic on the dev@ list.

We hope to engage more of the community as well as grow it, in order to 
receive more valuable feedback from especially UI testing.

We have begun discussing graduation, though we feel we could use a few 
more people for better project oversight.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
No noteworthy developments on the community front, but activity in the 
project as noted above.
