I had to pick between reduce the friction and increase project adoption since 
we can’t have both even though my brain clearly wanted to… :)

## Description: 

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.
   
## Issues: 
 
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
   
## Activity: 

There were three big changes in the project over the past quarter.

1) The project has moved to a Maven-based build system.  This change will 
enable the project to clean up a lot of automation, additional testing, and 
lots of other exciting things.  Before Maven, Yetus was built via a shell 
script that lacked much functionality.  Moving to a real build tool has been on 
the TODO list for a very long time (YETUS-15!).  

2) We've changed contributions to be Lazy Consensus with a 72-hour window.  
This change was done primarily to unblock contributions that were having 
trouble getting past the patch phase due to lack of review time.  It is hoped 
that this will increase project velocity.  The release process is unchanged.

3) We've started publishing convenience artifacts on hub.docker.com.  Combined 
with other changes, the Docker images will hopefully increase project adoption 
on services such as Circle CI, Travis CI, and GitLab CI in addition to more 
traditional Jenkins shops now utilizing Docker.
   
## Health report: 

As predicted, health-wise, this quarter was relatively quiet.  With the above 
changes combined with the forced relocation of ASF projects to Gitbox, the next 
quarter may prove interesting and/or challenging.
