Report from the Apache Zest committee [Niclas Hedhman]

## Description:
   Apache Zest is a community based effort exploring Composite Oriented
   Programming for domain centric application development.

## Activity:
Apache Zest made its first release (Java Edition 2.1) last day in July and
it went remarkably well. Release Manager had no previous ASF release
experience, and that shows testimony to the high standards of the generic
Release Documentation (kudos!)
After release, everyone went on a well-deserved holiday, but activity is
now climbing back up, with planning and implementation for ver 3.0, which
will require Java 8. All naming from Qi4j to Zest has been completed.

## Health report:
Zest is a small but active community, and the size of community is not
expected to grow substantially in the near future. All previous Qi4j
contributors still active have been on-boarded, and we will take it from
there.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## LDAP committee group/Committership changes:

 - Currently 17 committers and 10 LDAP committee group members.
