I was pleased to a detailed report by the Drill PPMC and sign off by all the Mentors. Email discussions like the thread "What do you want out of Apache Drill" [1], should help the podling engage the community. Since the report is detailed, I will skip adding kudos to all the points but over all, Drill seems to be doing very well. Couple of suggestions for the project to consider
* Its only 3 months into the incubation so too early to complain, but the project should consider release early and release often. Do not wait too long to make a release. * The mailing list traffic is good, but the JIRA traffic is lower than what I expected. Since there is a good interest shown by community, putting effort in listing the issues and breaking down the tasks might translate the community interest into contributions.
