I am pleased with the current state of the project. +We have an active community, produce interesting and useful features, and +regularly receive positive feedback. + +As with many contributors in a less certain world, I have felt the squeeze on +upstream this cycle. I'd like to thank those who have stepped up to help when +downstream (or holiday) means I'm unavailable, and those who generally help out +with project admin tasks. + +This cycle we added two new meetings to the calendar. Kolla Klub started well, +with fantastic attendance and some great discussions. Over time engagement has +been more variable. I think we need to assess whether to continue regular +meetings, and if so, how to keep it interesting. The Kolla Kall is more +development oriented, and has been useful for focussing on some specific +issues. For this meeting I think we need to be sure that it is the best use of +people's time, and be a bit more dynamic about content and attendance. + +One area where I feel we could improve as a project is in integrating +contributors in non-EU/US time zones. Language, culture and time zones can make +this a challenge, but everyone benefits from a connected global community. + +We made a start on improving our documentation this cycle, let's keep pushing +on that. + +Thanks for reading, +Mark Goddard (mgoddard)
