  Shepherd/Mentor notes:
  
+ --------------------
+ 
+ Toree
+ 
+ Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
+ access Apache Spark. It enables interactive workloads between applications
+ and a Spark cluster. As a Jupyter Notebook extension, it provides the user
+ with a preconfigured environment for interacting with Spark using Scala,
+ Python, R or SQL.
+ 
+ Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
+ 
+ Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
+ 
+   1. Resolve LGPL dependency: Great news! The team has just merged a PR and removed the LGPL license in favor of MPL (https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq/pull/358)
+   2. Make a release: 0.1.x branch should be ready for release. Master has moved to start support for Spark 2.0
+   3. Grow a diverse community: We should put some emphasis on growing the
+      community and making it diverse (the rule is at least three independent
+      contributors) We have 1 major independent contributor (mariusvniekerk) and at least 2 minor ones (https://github.com/apache/incubator-toree/graphs/contributors)
+ 
+ Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
+ aware of?
+ 
+   TOREE-262 - Progress on removal of LGPL dependency - Awaiting MPL release of JeroMQ. Will update branches to remove caveats re: LGPL once the JeroMQ release is available.
+ 
+ How has the community developed since the last report?
+ 
+   1. Active communication in mailing list and gitter with early adopters
+   2. Still working on transitioning users from Spark Kernel project into
+      Toree. Making significant progress here.
+   3. More external contributions being made. Community member 2mariusvniekerk
+   key in porting Toree to work on Spark 2.0. Sitting on PR 56. Working with committer to finish up some details and will merge when ready. This is a significant contribution.
+ 
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+   1. JeroMQ community has finalized work to transition to MPL. Waiting for maven release.
+   2. Addressing issues opened by community
+ 
+ Date of last release:
+ 
+   None since incubation.
+ 
+ When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+ 
+   No new additions since incubation
