[DRAFT] Project quarterly report to the board

[Richard Downer <ri...@apache.org>]

All,

Our quarterly report to the board is due on Wednesday. I've drafted a
report below.

If there's no comments I'll submit this on Wednesday. If there are any
suggested changes then I will of course amend the report!

Thanks

Richard.
