Thank you JB for the maturity matrix example. It doesn't look like much work with Livy being out there with multiple releases already available and a build process in place.
I'll be happy to volunteer as well, if needed, to have the next release moving forward. In the next week or so, I do need to have a build that works with Spark 3.x, so I guess I'll start looking at the build process and I believe there is a pull request for such support.
