### Release plans
* Nov: 14.2, point release with minor improvements and new build system

### Ideas
* Quantum computing (IBM and Honeywell have free-tier APIs) XXXL
* Python bindings for DSL (XXXL)
* Automating or maintaining Docker images (XL, including docs)
* New parsing and processing modules
  1. Proof of concept blockchain data and metadata (XXL)
  1. Proof of concept GPL/BSD/ALv2/MIT classifier (start with small
tutorial)
* Live code environment (in-browser) to try DSL (XXL for a real version,
start with simple env)
* Language modeling
  1. Guaranteed ALv2-licensed training models
  1. Blessed chat/code recs
* Look at OpenNLP for tokenizing and other processing
* New embedding similarity job

### Summary and next steps
* Continue monthly community calls
* Complete JIRA focus
* Get travis migration done, nightlies running
* Push 14.2 out
* Reach out to formerly active project members
* JIRA ranching
