Here is the draft of the January 2018 board report - please let me know if
there is anything else to add.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Description:
Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
(OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).

## Activity:
TinkerPop released versions 3.2.7 and 3.3.1 in this last reporting cycle.
Both were basically maintenance releases as a whole, but both included the
first official convenience releases of Gremlin.Net for the .NET community
(prior versions were just release candidates). Development has started on
the next releases in 3.2.8 and 3.3.2. These releases will again focus on
bug fixes, but may include initial support for gremlin-javascript which
will allow the Javascript community to have more native support for
TinkerPop in their language.

In the wider TinkerPop community, Amazon announced their new TinkerPop
enabled graph database called Neptune[1]. In a separate announcement, we
have
also learned that Microsoft's Azure Cosmos DB is now ready for general
availability[2]. Finally, it was learned that the Bitsy[3] graph database
and
the Pixy[4] graph pattern matching and logic programming language have both
been upgraded to support the latest version of TinkerPop 3.x (these pieces
of
software were originally developed on TinkerPop 2.x years ago, which is not
compatible at all with 3.x so it was nice to see them available to users
again).

TinkerPop has a new committer with the addition of Kelvin Lawrence.
