Fwd: Talk about your project at Annual General Meeting

[Steve Lime]

Regarding incubation the key successes were movement off of the UMN infrastructure for bug tracking
and revision tracking. We also made at least *some* progress on the code provenance review- most issues
have been identified but some still need research and remediation. The objective for next year would to:

  - continue to migrate infrastructure mailing lists and then perhaps the website
  - complete the provenance review
  - graduate!
