Hi,
For "my" project, you can put some text like that the project code has been put
into the production release mentioned.
Ok, will do
You also forgot to mention Eric Leleu's emeritus status.
I already mentioned that in our april report and forgot mention Jukka stepping
back in the last one so that I follow up this time.
Tilman
Thanks for your input!

Hi,
find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to submit this

Is there anything we should add about GSoC?
Any further comments, objections or additions?

Releases

Version 1.8.7 was released on 19nd of September 2014. It is an incremental
bugfix release based on PDFBox 1.8.x.
Development:
------------
The work on our next major release is an ongoing effort. The main topics are:
- switch to java 1.6
- enhance the parser
- code cleanup
- enhance rendering
- enhance font handling
- reduce memory footprint
We hoped to release the new major release in the late summer but reality
proves us wrong. It'll take some more time.
