Cactus continues to be a healthy project. Cactus grew even during the holiday period, which was excellent new news for the project. Moreover, our communications and response times have been more prompt, which is encouraging for adding even more contributors in the future. We continue to get non-Accenture and Fujitsu contributions, which is a very positive sign going forward. Additionally, we are progressing in our work with the teams from Yui and Weaver as well on wider Hyperledger interoperability. There is also a rising awareness by the academic community in Hyperledger Cactus.

This isn't really a question, but we are planning a v1.0 release in the not-too-distant future. We have more questions for marketing–who should we talk to about this?
Some projects under the Hyperledger Summer Internship program (namely the research-oriented projects) led to multiple academic publications. This has proven to be a good way to attract academic and industry interest towards Cactus and Hyperledger in general. Are there plans to foment cross-project academic collaboration in Hyperledger?
Releases
We had two releases since the last quarterly report (which wasn't quite a full quarter). For full details, please see https://github.com/hyperledger/cactus/releases. We have a nice outline there.

We have also been continuing collaborations with the other interop efforts in Hyperledger, and this is something we want to continue to emphasize.
We have been supporting academic paper writing in the scope of the Hyperledger Summer Internship program. A technical report has been published, and there is a paper being written.
Current Plans
We are currently working towards a v1.0 release, and this is probably the biggest goal (in terms of work) that we have in the near future. In addition, we also want to work more closely with other interop efforts in Hyperledger and are putting in the effort to do so.
In addition, for more precise plans, we encourage you to check out our ZenHub board or our extensive github Github issues list (https://github.com/hyperledger/cactus/issues). We have a solid tagging system in place that should let you sort by just about whatever you want to find the types of issues that interest you.
We plan on continuing the academic efforts within Cactus.
