Hi all,

Please see the January quarterly report draft below, and me know if there is 
anything missing or needs update.

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

## Project Status:
The project is ongoing with moderate activities this past quarter.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Yang Xia on 2023-03-15.
- Norio Akagi was added as committer on 2024-10-31

## Project Activity:

We released 3.6.8 and 3.7.3 on 2024-10-23, which contained a number of security 
updates, bug fixes in the core functionality, as well as updates to improve 
implementation extensibility for providers. This was also the last release of 
the 3.6.x line [1], as future development will be focused on new features for 
TinkerPop 4.0 and maintenance for 3.7.x.

The community continues to be active in development for the next major release 
of TinkerPop 4.0, aimed at increasing maintainability, usability, 
extensibility, and security of the project. Implementation of the Gremlin 
Server, as well as the Java and Python drivers has been wrapping up as the 
community prepares for a milestone preview of TinkerPop 4.0.0, for early user 
preview, testing and feedback on the current implementation. Out of abundance 
of caution, the milestone release was held off for additional testing, with new 
dates in discussion [2].

### Releases:
3.6.8 was released on 2024-10-23.
3.7.3 was released on 2024-10-23.

## Community Health:
The TinkerPop Community continues to have a steady flow of activity from core 
committers, and occasional contributions from outside sources are in line with 
previous quarters.

Several TinkerPop providers have also released new updates. G.V(), an 
all-in-one client for Gremlin graph database recently released 3.9.32 [3], 
offering new free-tier access and improved result visualization. Gremify [4], a 
cloud-based platform providing Gremlin query execution and visualization for 
Gremlin users of all levels, recently released support for TinkerPop 3.7.3.

We hosted another exciting live event on Twitch [5], where we invited an 
external contributor to discuss his work on a GQL to Gremlin transpiler, a 
prototype optimizer and discuss how the GQL standard [6] could help further 
develop TinkerPop. All the recordings are available on our YouTube channel [7]:
