Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

    Comments:  Instead of simply attaching star and fork result data,
    please focus more on the community effort and process behind their growth.

    Comments:  Glad to see the repository be transferred to asf and the
    website be online. Is there an ETA for the first Apache release? For the
    community growth, the fork and star number might not be that important,
    compared with the number of contributors, committers and IPMCs. Please put
    these numbers ahead of those two. Thank you!

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
 Justin Mclean: The data of the last release should be the last ASF release.
 Also, stars and forks are meaningless without context, please provide some more
 context in your next report.
