Hi All, Below is a draft of December's report, please feel free to add any comments.
=== Dubbo Dubbo is a high-performance, lightweight, java based RPC framework. Dubbo has been incubating since 2018-02-16. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Ensure more discussion and decision making to be happening on the mailing list. 2. Release 2.7.0, the first release after package renaming. 3. Transfer more qualified external Dubbo ecosystem projects into Apache. 4. Add more committers and PPMC members. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
