[Jake Farrell <jf...@apache.org>]

Does someone want to take a shot at drafting the board report up? I did our
first report which is available at [1] which can be used as an example of
what is needed

Dear podling,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
Incubator PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your
quarterly
board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 October 2014, 10:30 am PST. The
report
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The
Incubator PMC
requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to
allow
sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Oct 1st).

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC,
and
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report
----------------------

Your report should contain the following:

 * Your project name
 * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the
project
   or necessarily of its field
 * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
   graduation.
 * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of
 * How has the community developed since the last report
 * How has the project developed since the last report.

This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/October2014

Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this
page
      is created from a template.

Mentors
-------
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator
PMC.

Here's a start. I think there are likely some more updates from other 
committers on how the project has developed over the last month.
