+It\u2019s been just over six months since Apache Beam was formally accepted into incubation with the [Apache Software Foundation](http://www.apache.org). As a community, we\u2019ve been hard at work getting Beam off the ground.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+Looking just at raw numbers for those first six months, that\u2019s:
+
+* 48,238 lines of preexisting code donated by Cloudera, dataArtisans, and Google.
+* 761 pull requests from 45 contributors.
+* 498 Jira issues opened and 245 resolved.
+* 1 incubating release (and another 1 in progress). 
+* 4,200 hours of automated tests. 
+* 161 subscribers / 606 messages on user@.
+* 217 subscribers / 1205 messages on dev@.
+* 277 stars and 174 forks on GitHub.
+
+And behind those numbers, there\u2019s been a ton of technical progress, including:
+
+* Refactoring of the entire codebase, examples, and tests to be truly runner-independent.
+* New functionality in the Apache Flink runner for timestamps/windows in batch and bounded sources and side inputs in streaming mode.
+* Work in progress to upgrade the Apache Spark runner to use Spark 2.0.
+* Several new runners from the wider Apache community -- Apache Gearpump has its own feature branch, Apache Apex has a PR, and conversations are starting on Apache Storm and others.
+* New SDKs/DSLs for exposing the Beam model -- the Python SDK from Google is in on a feature branch, and there are plans to add the Scio DSL from Spotify.
+* Support for additional data sources and sinks -- Apache Kafka and JMS are in, there are PRs for Amazon Kinesis, Apache Cassandra, and MongoDB, and more connectors are being planned.
+
+But perhaps most importantly, we\u2019re committed to building an involved, welcoming community. So far, we\u2019ve:
+
+* Started building a vibrant developer community, with detailed design discussions on features like DoFn reuse semantics, serialization technology, and an API for accessing state.
+* Started building a user community with an active mailing list and improvements to the website and documentation.
+* Had multiple talks on Beam at venues including ApacheCon, Hadoop Summit, Kafka Summit, JBCN Barcelona, and Strata.
+* Presented at multiple existing meetups and are starting to organize some of our own.
+
+While it\u2019s nice to reflect back on all we\u2019ve done, we\u2019re working full _stream_ ahead towards a stable release and graduation from incubator. And we\u2019d love your help -- join the [mailing lists](http://beam.incubator.apache.org/use/mailing-lists/), check out the [contribution guide](http://beam.incubator.apache.org/contribute/contribution-guide/), and grab a [starter task](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-520?jql=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20labels%20in%20(newbie%2C%20starter)) from Jira!

 <p>Apache Beam (incubating) provides a portable API layer for building sophisticated data-parallel processing engines that may be executed across a diversity of exeuction engines, or <i>runners</i>. The core concepts of this layer are based upon the Beam Model (formerly referred to as the <a href="http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1792-Akidau.pdf">Dataflow Model</a>), and implemented to varying degrees in each Beam runner. To help clarify the capabilities of individual runners, we\u2019ve created the capability matrix below.</p>
