+ 1. Increasing community involvement: We are focusing on getting
+ information
+ published on the website to aid the acquisition and orientation of new
+ contributors,
+ as well increasing the number of committers, in order to reduce
+ individual member
+ workload, reduce reliance on any particular member, and to increase
+ project velocity. David Ash was voted in as a committer last month.
+ There are several other committers that may be added in the near future.
  
+ 2. Merging the source code from AT&T, JP Morgan and Oracle and creating
+ POMs. AT&T and JP Morgan source code has been merged and POMs created,
+ it needs uploading into the Apache repository. AT&T and JP Morgan ICLAs were received, but Oracle is taking more time. The IP clearance is on it's way.
  
+ 3. Get our first release done.
