Hi all, Here is the Board report that I filed for this month (as the ASF VP of Subversion).
fyi: we're required to keep the Board apprised of all relevant activities for their review/oversight. this is part of the legal umbrella the ASF provides for our community. If you have any questions/concerns/comments, then please let me know!
