Please find the draft for the January board report below. I'm a bit behind
on things so this draft is a little later than usual. I will submit it
tomorrow. If adjustments are needed after that they can be made in time for
the meeting I think.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Description:
Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
(OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).

## Activity:
TinkerPop is currently in the process of releasing 3.4.13 and 3.5.2 with the
idea that 3.6.0 will follow quite shortly. We do not expect any further
releases on the 3.4.x line of code.

As the log4j security issue was central to concerns of many projects last
quarter, it seems worth mentioning that TinkerPop was generally unaffected
by that problem. Both the 3.4.x and 3.5.x lines are on log4j 1.x and 3.6.0
had already been migrated away from log4j to logback as we found the
migration path to log4j 2.x a bit difficult.

We started a Discord server some months ago to offer another alternative for
support within our user community. We've found it to be a successful way to
interact with users who have questions. Server membership has grown to over
250 users at this point.

We learned of a new Gremlin IDE that has been developed called G.V()[1]
which aims to make writing and debugging Gremlin queries easier. Tools like
this one greatly help with user adoption of TinkerPop.

We added a new committer, Lyndon Bauto, who has contributed some excellent
work to the project around gremlin-python, as well as other libraries in the
wider TinkerPop community.
