 N/A

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

 We have recently attracted a new contributor empiredan, who have merged 2
 PRs until now.

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

 We are still actively working towards the next big release, which may be
 called 2.2.0.
 We have open-sourced 3 subprojects that were temporarily maintained
 outside the Apache orgnization:

 - https://github.com/pegasus-kv/admin-cli
 - https://github.com/pegasus-kv/pegic
 - https://github.com/pegasus-kv/meta-proxy

 Those are tiny tools but also considered as very important complement to
 the Pegasus ecosystem.
 `pegic` and `meta-proxy` are still in the initial stage. Developing under
 the "pegasus-kv" orgnization gets us full control of the Github settings
so
 that we can move faster.
 `admin-cli` is nearly completed and license-cleared and will soon be
 migrated to Apache.
 The three projects will all eventually be moved to Apache.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
 Justin Mclean: I like to see some explanation on why the sub-projects
 are being maintained outside of the project. There are branding and
 trademark issues and it may be best to consider moving them in-house.
 Also please list 3 unfinished issues that you still need to do to
 graduate.

 Justin Mclean: Thanks for the explanation, if might be better if you you
 worked with Infra on the GitHub settings, developing code outside the
 ASF is likely to cause a number of issues in the future when the code
 is moved.
