## Issues:
There were comments from board members requesting answers from PMC in the last
report. I have answered in an email earlier. Just to include the answers again
since it seems to be asked multiple times:

Board questions: jj: I am assuming the LinkedIn meet up occurred?

  rb: I'm very concerned that Mark has asked a question two quarters in a row
  and still received no response. It's not even so much that the question
  itself is urgent, but that you don't appear to be reading board feedback to
  your reports.

  ps: The 9/12 meetup at LinkedIn was announced on the dev list on 8/24 and
  9/12. It appears to have been open to all interested parties. Attendance
  does appear to have required an NDA signed by attendees. It looks more like
  info share than anything actually project dev related. Here is the link from
  the mail to the dev list:

      https://www.meetup.com/Stream-Processing-Meetup-LinkedIn/events/242656767/?_cookie-check=UErnFE0-NfeCLKWx

My previous answers to the above questions:

A. Yes, LinkedIn meetup was hold on 9/12

B. Yes we do read board's feedbacks and I have already responded with answers
to Marks question in July:
https://mail-search.apache.org/pmc/private-arch/samza-private/201707.mbox/%3CCAFvExu15wywrCpfcxEjUduC2nJs9UgFKCVyti5sFLQ7wi2moog@mail.gmail.com%3E

C. To restate what I have answered in my response to Board's feedback in July,
the meetup was announced via Meetup website, advertised via LinkedIn, tweet,
and Samza dev list. We share the usage information, discuss the features
needed and pain points user has encountered. Once a while, we also share our
development roadmap on big features coming in Samza. Those are all dev
related. Testimony in the exact link listed in the response, you can find the
following description in Redfin's presentation: "Samza is being used at
Redfin, and suggest some features that we'd like to see in Samza". And here is
another meetup where we talk about the roadmap of Samza development:
https://www.meetup.com/Stream-Processing-Meetup-LinkedIn/events/234454163/.
And new features like async API in Samza in yet another meetup:
https://www.meetup.com/Stream-Processing-Meetup-LinkedIn/events/237171557/,
and high-level API in Samza:
https://www.meetup.com/Stream-Processing-Meetup-LinkedIn/events/238303422/.

Hope that I have answered all your questions.
