## Community Health:
- there is a steady stream of contributions, bug reports and questions on the
   mailing lists
- there are a lot of refactorings, improvements and bugfixes
- we are still planning to cut the first beta release of our next major
   version
   3.0.0
- to do so we start to identify the last tickets with breaking changes to be
   included in 3.0.0.
- due to the releases last month the preparations for the beta release were
   slowed down a little
- there was an article about maintaining interoperability in open source
   software". To do so the authors studied the activities within Apache PDFBox
   for two years without the knowledge of the community. We don't see any
   surprises, see https://s.apache.org/aljtz for further details
