  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

-   3.
+   1. Making the fist Apache Release.  Vote for RC5 is currently on general@incubator
+   2. Making several Releases

  Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
  aware of?

+     The community has been growing.  Two more monthly meetups have been successfully organized so far after the initial one in April 2018.  We have also seen 
+     more interests in the Heron from different channels and getting more ideas from the community.  In October 2018 there was a presentation given at BazelCon 
+     in New York city on building Apache Heron.
  
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+     There have been mainly bug fixes and improvements to existing features.
+     Some to note are
+     * Works towards Apache release and five release candidates have been created.
+     * Updates for the licenses
+     * Updates to the documentation
+     * New integration tests
+     * New designs/works for the Streamlet API(Heron’s high level DSL)

+ How would you assess the podling's maturity?
