+   * A new committer was invited and accepted to join the committers for Apache Rya (incubating).
+   * Talk on Rya at the DC Graph Database meetup on August 30, 2016
+   * Online presentation on Rya to a group of researchers and developers from Cray on September 29, 2016
+   * Talk on Rya accepted at Accumulo Summit, October 11, 2016  
+   * The Rya "office hour" teleconference continues every other week, with few exceptions when people are too busy. Users and developers can ask questions, receive answers, discuss ideas for future developments. The minutes are sent to the dev@ list. Attendance at these meetings has grown beyond existing committers of the project to include new contributors.  New contributors have led the discussion for new features that they have helped develop.  We continue posting minutes and reference slides from the meetings on confluence to provide reference documentation to new contributors.
+   * Multiple PRs from several non-committers which are integrated into the repository continue to be received
  
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
  
+   * Worked on the first release. The first release candidate was proposed, but the vote did not pass on the dev list. Working on the next release candidate.
+   * Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered.
+   * Committed features: added a benchmark tool for the pre-computed joins optimizer; added support for property chain inference; integrated Apache Fluo (incubating) with Rya so triples inserted in Rya are inserted into Apache Fluo (incubating) too in order to incrementally update any pre-computed joins registered with Fluo; added OPTIONAL support for pre-computed joins
  
  Date of last release:
  
-   XXXX-XX-XX
+   Not applicable. Initial vote on first release candidate did not pass on dev list. Working on the next release candidate. 
  
  When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
  
- 
+   New committer Caleb Meier elected on August 31, 2016
