Did some digging, and it looks like one of our board reports got missed by the 
bots:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2018

Not sure what kept it from showing on Whimsy's list:
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Annotator

However, it was filed, and was signed-off on by 2 of our mentors (Jim and Nick).

Additionally, this is the first time I've learned we're in "Group 1" and that 
we're on a specific quarterly schedule. Prior to this we've just been 
"reacting" to John's "board report due" emails--which, if we miss those...we 
miss the report.

I'm going to setup more see-able targets in our GitHub and/or web site--which 
should make them much easier to hit regularly.

Hope that April2018 board report alleviates some concerns. :)

Cheers!
Benjamin

Hi,

Note the mixed private and dev list.

Yep that happened but you had missed a number before that. [1] Looks like last 
board report before that one was almost a year ago when they need to be 
quarterly. If you miss one you are expected to report next month. You are in 
Group 1 and those podlings report Jan,Apr,Jul,Oct.

I wouldn’t adjust the report schedule at this point.

Well it a bit more complex as podlings report monthly for the first 3 months 
and can be asked for an out of band report or even asked to report monthly, but 
I'll see what I can do.

> Presumably this kind of thing may affect other podlings from time to time too?

Yes it does, but only if you miss one or more reports.

Thanks,
Justin
