Draft of the Board Report

Hey all,

This is what I've written up for our first report to the ASF Board. If you
have any comments and/or additions, please let me know and I will
incorporate them if I can.

==================================================
Apache Crunch is a Java library for writing, testing, and running
MapReduce pipelines on Apache Hadoop.

MILESTONES
We completed our most recent release (0.5.0-incubating) on 2/19/13,
just before we left the Incubator.

ACTIVITY
* All of the Incubator transfer procedures have been completed.
* The PMC is currently voting on a set of bylaws for the project
  modeled after the bylaws of the Apache Pig community.
* Nine issues have been resolved since our most recent release,
  primarily small bug fixes. One major feature was adding the
  ability to start and monitor a MapReduce pipeline
  asynchronously, which was contributed by a new developer
  on the project.

COMMUNITY
* 50 subscribers to the dev mailing list, 62 subscribers to the
  user mailing list.
* There have been no changes to the PMC or committer composition
  since our recent graduation.
* The user mailing list has seen small but steady traffic in the
  form of questions and requests from Crunch users.

INFRASTRUCTURE
* All of the major TLP creation tasks are completed, but we
  have one outstanding issue from the move from the Incubator:
  our github mirror hasn't been updated to reflect the new
  repo name. This is tracked in INFRA-5933.
* The website has been updated to reflect the project's new
  status as a TLP.

LEGAL
No known issues.

BRANDING
No known issues.

Cool, you beat me to it :)

Some minor clarifications, see below.

We're not 100% done, we still have our release directory at the
Incubator. We can't remove it until we have a new release, otherwise
our checksum links would 404.

We could temporarily switch the links to the archive repository
though if you want to complete this before our next release.

To be ultra-precise, I have used Zookeeper's with minor tweaks and
added a bit of Pig :)
