=== Incubation Update ===
* Our OSGeo community outreach to projects is going well

=== Java 2018 Code Sprint results ===
* Successful for GeoServer - the project can now run under Java 11
* More difficult / distruptive for GeoTools, but we met our sprint goals about half a week later
* For GeoNetwork it was interesting and slow. In the end we got some pushes in GeoNetwork and advanced, but we are still veeeeeeeeeery far away of Java 11
* The event *did* get sponsorship, but only the week before, or even during the event.
* Discussion about code sprints being hosted by osgeo, or osgeo just sponsoring.
* The event has "made money" for the code sprint program. A big thank you to sponsors, and to OSGeo for hosting.
* For 2019 we have the next sprint coming: https://www.osgeo.org/events/osgeo-community-sprint-2019/
