  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  
-   1.
-   2.
-   3.
+   1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
+   2. Have (more) frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
+   3. Grow the project’s contributions from existing community of contributors
  
  Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
  aware of?
  
+ 1. The project issued its third release (0.2.0) as far as the code is concerned.  Some considerable functionality has been added since the last release in addition to a growth in diversity of contributions.

+ How has the community developed since the last report?
  
+ * All project communication takes now place on either the mailing list or ASF's Slack, and is open for everybody.  We have worked hard to make this the normal operating mode of the community. There have been some hiccups, but in general the majority of discourse has taken place on the list.  Slack has been used as a secondary method.
  
+  * Increased chatter on the mailing list including new subscribers who ask questions, make suggestions and are likely to become contributors themselves in the near future.
- How would you assess the podling's maturity?
- Please feel free to add your own commentary.
  
+ * Weekly grooming meetings are now attended by the majority of the community. This is not only a forum to review the weekly work items list, but also as a place for open discussion about issues, questions as well as for the community to get to better know each other.
+ 
+ 
+ How has the community developed since the last report?
+ 
+ Over the last 3 months we have seen a significant increase in contributions as well as a few new contributors, particularly from the Ericsson contingent.
+ 
+ 
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+ ARIA now has two new patches considerably extend the parser's plugin/extensions
+ 
+ Website and documentation improvements for usability and to enhance new user Usability in terms of “getting started” instructions
+ 
+ 9 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report.  Note that the repository was locked for several weeks during this period due to release process issues and learning curve.
+ 
+ We will be doing another release during this quarter, and the release manager will be Miguel furthering participation from the community.
+ 
+ The community has begun to undertake updating AriaTosca to support the Tosca 1.1 Simple YAML profile.
