Board report for September

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

Hi,

Please reply with any items that should get into this report.

My sense is that with the Covid and Summer, things slowed down somewhat this
quarter.

  * There was activity related to moving builds to a new infrastructure control,
mostly led by Richard (thank you again!).

  * uima-as finally switched to the Git repo.

  * Bug reports and fixes continued in several projects.

Anything else?

-Marshall
