  Edgent
  
- Edgent is a stream processing programming model and lightweight runtime to
- execute analytics at devices on the edge or at the gateway.
+   Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime that can
+   be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local,
+   real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming from
+   equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of all kinds
+   (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in conjunction with
+   centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides efficient and timely
+   analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the center to the edge.
  
- Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.

+   Significant progress has been made on a new build system, using  Gradle.  One of the goals
+   is to remove third party code, so we can work toward a release.
  
+   The community has been active and participating in voting.  Heavy commit activity, but light
+   Jira activity, recently as the name change was implemented in the code, documentation and web site.
  
- Date of last release:
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
  
-   XXXX-XX-XX
+    According to JIRA, the project has added the following:
  
- When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+     * June: 29 new issues; 22 issues resolved.
+     * July: 20 new issues; 15 issues resolved.
+     * August: 7 new issues; 7 issues resolved.
  
+     August activity was largely build and renaming activities, tracked under a few Jira issues.
  
+ 
+   The name for the project was changed from Apache Quarks to Apache Edgent.  The new name went
+   through a suitable name search and was approved.  The infrastructure, code and documentation changes
+   have been completed.
+ 
+   A logo was voted on and chosen, and a wiki was set up for the Edgent community.
+ 
+ Date of last release:
+ 
+   We have not created an Apache release as of yet.  We need to complete build changes and licensing
+   work to create a release.
+ 
+ When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+ 
+   In May, we added two new committers and PPMC members, Kathy Saunders and Queenie Ma.
