   for an average of 25 per month so the contribution rate is still
   active and healthy
 - The community had a video sync with about 20 attendees. These will
   be held about every 3 weeks at alternating times so that contributors
   in Europe and Asia can attend
 - The community is working toward an 0.8.0 release in mid-April

### How has the project developed since the last report?

   and working on moving this to master

    Comments: We've released 0.5.2 in December. We've moved repository to
              gitbox smoothly in January.
              As the lead PPMC, Makoto handles the community nicely and
              other PMC members are cooperative team players.
