Here is the attached draft of our board report for this month. Please let
me know if you'd like to see something changed or added.

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

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

## Activity:
TinkerPop released versions 3.3.11 and 3.4.7. Both were releases containing
important bug fixes and minor improvements. The 3.3.11 release is the last
release in the 3.3.x release line. The first release in that line of 3.3.0
occurred in August 2017, so it has seen a long run of maintenance. As most
graph providers have long since moved on to 3.4.x and some development
efforts have shifted to our latest release line of 3.5.0, it seemed time to
stop support on 3.3.x.

A number of new projects came to light in this last reporting period that
showed the continued growth of the wider TinkerPop ecosystem:

* ignite-janus[1] - Apache Ignite Storage Backend for JanusGraph
* graph-explorer[2] - Extendable data visualiser for Apache TinkerPop
supported graph databases.
* Hackolade TinkerPop Plugin[3] - A graph data modelling tool
* Clownface[4] - Clownface is a graph traversal library inspired by Gremlin
which allows querying any RDF dataset in a concise and readable way.

A new book was published by O'Reilly called "The Practitioner's Guide to
Graph Data"[5] by Denise Gosnell and Matthias Broecheler. It uses Gremlin
for its code examples and covers many important graph topics that should be
extraordinarily helpful to new users.
