The Drill Community had a Hangout meeting and will be working towards a number
of strategic goals:
1. Increase the size of community
2. Reduce obstacles to use, such as improving documentation and website.
3. Improve publicity about Drill

We have averaged about two releases per year.  Going forward, we will try for
smaller releases more frequently.  Our next release is targeted for early Q2.

Interesting work underway:
- Storage plugins for Apache Druid, Apache Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and
 general HTTP/REST.
- Significant code improvements to facilitate storage and format plugin
 development.
- Integrations with Docker and K8s. 
- Documentation improvements to include website re-design.
