They are not experts on your particular technology. They are, +rather, interested in the health and sustainability of the project. +Questions to consider include: + +* Do you have enough active participants - both committers and PMC members - + to respond to urgent bugs or security? +* Have you responded to any questions or comments that the board made on + your previous report? +* Have you pointed out major achievements, or challenges, encountered in + the past quarter that an outsider would have missed? + +The secondary audience of your report is the general public. The minutes +of board meetings are +[published](https://apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html) for our users, +sponsors, the press, and the general public to read. Consider that +audience when writing. For example, if there's a story that you'd like +the press to tell about your project, you might mention it, and provide +a quote that you'd like to see in an article. + +If there's something you wish to bring to the attention of the board, +but isn't for public consumption, enclose it in <private> tags so +that it won't be published in the public minutes. + +The report isn't just a once-a-quarter box to check -- It's your Review Comment: Thanks Sebb.
