Board report

[Aidan Skinner <ai...@apache.org>]

We're on the block for a board report this time round, I'd like to mention a
couple of things:

1. Concern that it took ~1 month to get a vote on our last release candidate
completed, general@ seems happy to pick holes when somethings wrong but
uninterested in allowing stuff to proceed. There was plenty of activity on
other threads, such as the discussion on the maven repo but repeated
reminders seemed ineffectual.
2. Related to 1, time to graduate?
3. New comitters voted on, new PPMC members.
4. GSoC rocked

Incubators, I don't know what else we could have done short of actually
poking people with an actual stick.

I'd phrase it as one pass, one fail, rather than 50% (which looks worse to
my eyes)

Comments:

- is 1 our concern our the incubators concern -- not clear the way you 
wrote it.
- with 2, can state that we are evaluating trying for graduation again 
with our mentors
- with 4, would say 50% success rate and yes GSoC was great.
- also mention the M3 release is complete
