[DRAFT] August2018 board report

[Josh Elser <jo...@gmail.com>]

Given no further input, here's the draft board report. If no concerns, 
I'll be sending this out sooner than later.

---

## Description:
  - Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for 
Apache Hadoop

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
  - Two major release: 4.14.0 and 5.0.0. The former target HBase-0.98 
and 1.x major release lines, the latter targeted HBase-2.0.
  - We've decided to stop releases versions of Phoenix that support 
HBase 0.98 and 1.1 releases as the HBase project has made a similar 
decision on creating more releases of those versions.
  - Created a new mailing list, issues@phoenix, to reduce overall 
traffic to dev@phoenix.
  - Held PhoenixCon on June 18th in San Jose, California, USA 
concurrently with HBaseCon (same day, same space). We had roughly 150 
people in attendance at the events, with 10 Phoenix-specific talks 
given. Feedback was overall positive. Recordings are available at 
https://phoenix.apache.org/phoenixcon-archives.html for those who were 
unable to physically attend the event.
  - We've added two new PMC members and one new committer since our last 
report.

## Health report:
  - Things largely remain the same for the project. As HBase continues 
to evolve into newer versions, it requires us to do the same in Phoenix. 
We have continued activity in the project and I believe things look OK 
for the future.
  - Continuing to support and grow new contributors is a challenge.

## PMC changes:
  - Currently 27 PMC members.
  - New PMC members:
     - Pedro Boado was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018
     - Vincent Poon was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018

## Committer base changes:
  - Currently 36 committers.
  - Ohad Shaham was added as a committer on Fri Jun 08 2018

## Releases:
  - 4.14.0 was released on Fri Jun 08 2018
  - 5.0.0 was released on Sat Jul 14 2018

## Mailing list activity:
  - List activity is largely consistent with previous months. There is a 
slight down-tick in volume to users@phoenix.
