Cotton is an Apache Mesos framework for running MySQL instances.

Cotton has been incubating since 2015-06.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Increase project communication on mailing lists
 2. Attract new project contributors and committers
 3. Establish a first release at Apache

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be =
aware of?

Development of Cotton has largely been inactive for the last two months, =
due to limited time from the original developer and community =
engagements including MesosCon Seattle and MesosCon Europe.

How has the community developed since the last report?

There has been limited participation on the mailing lists and JIRA, =
however a discussion on the private@ list was established about this =
issue and there's a desire to keep the project in the incubator and be =
more proactive in building community in the coming months.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 * Apache Cotton was presented at MesosCon, available for viewing on =
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DBFS8-mt8alU
 * Limited development has occurred since the last report.

Several JIRA issues outline some of the earliest outstanding work, =
including setting up a project website and renaming portions of the =
codebase to reflect the new Apache Cotton name (formerly Mysos).

Date of last release:

N/A

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

N/A
