Add Quarks report

  --------------------
  Quarks
  
- Quarks is a stream processing programming model and lightweight runtime to
- execute analytics at devices on the edge or at the gateway.
+ Apache Quarks is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime that can
+ be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local,
+ real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming from
+ equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of all kinds
+ (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in conjunction with
+ centralized analytic systems, Apache Quarks provides efficient and timely
+ analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the center to the edge.
  
  Quarks has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
  
  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  
-   1.
-   2.
-   3.
+   1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
+      around Quarks project
+   2. Create the first Apache release of Quarks
+   3. Complete the product name search and select a suitable name
  
  Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
  aware of?
  
+   Due to trademark concerns with "Quarks", the Quarks PPMC voted to change
+   the project's name. A renaming discussion and public vote was held on the
+   dev mailing list. The voting results are being discussed privately by the
+   PPMC.

+   We have added two new committers and PPMC members, Kathy Saunders and
+   Queenie Ma. Kathy has taken the lead on the name search process for Quarks,
+   and her positive attitude and helpfulness are an incredible asset for the
+   Quarks community. Queenie has contributed content to the website and is a
+   frequent participant in community discussions. The Quarks community is still
+   small, as Quarks has just recently incubated, therefore we aim to continue
+   growing our list in the near future.
  
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
  
- Date of last release:
+   * According to JIRA, the project has added 27 new issues in May, and 22
+     issues have been resolved.
+   * On May 12, several Quarks contributors hosted an "Apache Quarks on
+     Raspberry Pi" webcast where they showed how to use Quarks to work with
+     real sensor data on a Raspberry Pi, and demonstrated a smart sprinkler
+     application using Quarks.
  
-   XXXX-XX-XX
+ Date of last release:
  
- When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+   Quarks is still new, so we haven't created an Apache release as of yet.
  
+ When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+ 
+   In May, we added two new committers and PPMC members, Kathy Saunders and
+   Queenie Ma.
