Hello all, 
I've attached the draft board report for May.  I included a list of interesting 
work but these are only the items that I have followed or am personally aware 
of, so if there are others that you'd like highlighted, please let me know.  
I'd appreciate comments back by Monday 11 May as the report is due on 13 May. 
Thank you!

## Project Activity:
Since the lsat board reporr there has been considerable work done to Drill in
preparation for the 1.18 release. Unfortunately the situation with COVID-19
has affected the development schedule. 

We have committed the following PRs of interest:
- RDBMS Metastore for Drill
- Significantly Refactored and Improved JSON Readers 
- Various Improvements to REST API 
- Time bucket and other UDFs to facilitate time series analysis
- Storage plugin for REST APIs (https://youtu.be/oEOhFWm3D9A for demo)
- Improvements to Excel Reader to allow large files
- Format Plugin for SPSS files


Additionally we have the following new functionality near completion:
- Storage Plugin for Apache Druid 

In resposne to the questions from the last Board report, the Drill community 
has held two hangouts. Since the main developers are based in the US on 
both coasts, and in Ukraine, we held them at 10AM ET which is 7AM PT, and 
1600 CET (Ukraine). The hangout was in English as everyone in the community
does speak English. We didn't take minutes, but there were some follow on 
discussions over email and one concrete result was that Drill's error messages
have been significantly improved.
