Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Increase active contributors ### 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? The community saw a boost in activity working on the bringup of support for Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13 which culminate in a new committer, but after that it went back to regular activity flow of a stable/mature project. We still see much of the users asking questions in the gitter channel rather than using the mailing lists. The discussion around retirement process was stopped with the boost in community activity. The Apache Toree project recently had two presentations at the European Community over Code conference, drawing a good audience. The attendees showed great interest, posing several questions. This indicates the community should look into opportunities for us to further promote awareness of the project. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Most of the remaining tasks related to Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13 are completed and comunity should start planning next release. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
