+## DESCRIPTION
+Apache Royale is a new implementation of the principles of Apache Flex but designed for JavaScript runtimes instead of Adobe Flash/AIR runtimes.  Apache Royale is designed to improve developer productivity in creating applications for wherever Javascript runs, including browsers as well as Apache Cordova applications, Node, etc. 
+
+## ISSUES
+There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
+
+## RELEASES
+- Apache Royale 0.9.2 was released on March 16 2018.
+- Apache Royale 0.9.4 was released on November 14 2018.
+
+## ACTIVITY
+- No releases this quarter. However we have started discuss about next release. We would like to make whole process less problematic, so discussion on dev list is about making one central point where most of the steps is going to happen automatic.
+- Lots of improvement in one of the core part of Royale responsible for communication with server sight (AMF).
+- Lots of progress on a new default look (component set) for Royale apps.
+- Lots of progress on migrating a large Flex app to Royale. A new "Flex Emulation" component set is being worked on to ease migrations.
+- The owner of an ActionScript code base that doesn't use Flex is attempting to use the Royale Compiler to cross compile his code to JavaScript.
+- There have been a number of blog posts on using Royale. They seem to be well received.
+- We are using Disqus for blog comments. It seems to help engagement. We were not able to figure out how to get comments sent to the @dev list.
+- We had huge activity on Social Networks, trying to inform about what is happening in Apache Royale as we progress in the project. We think is important to do this so people outside the project, not following in a daily basis could get a notion of how we are doing. The numbers here are the following:
+    - Twitter got 507 followers since we open the account, and we are getting around 30 likes when we post something, and between 10 to 20 retweets, showing interest in what we're doing.
+    - Facebook gets 116 likes to the page and we are getting around 10-15 interactions (likes) and some comments, showing interest in Apache Royale. 
+    - We started a LinkedIn Group where 122 people joined in no time since opened. Groups in LinkedIn used to be watched by many people but remains silent most of the time, although it seems the way most of LinkedIn groups work.
