Hi everyone, It’s time for a board report again. Here’s my current draft. Thanks to Dan for helping put it together while I’m unexpectedly out of the office. Sorry if it is light on activity for some languages! Please let me know if there’s anything I can add and I’ll try to get it in tomorrow. Thanks,
