+    - title: "Adopting CppInterOp in cppyy"
+      status: Ongoing
+      description: |
+        cppyy is a Python library that provides fully automatic,
+        dynamic Python-C++ bindings using the cling based C++ interpreter/incremental compiler.
+        Cling itself is based on the LLVM toolchain. Compiler Research maintains its own fork of cppyy.
+        The main motivation of this fork is to directly use the LLVM's clang-REPL for C/C++ interpreter/incremental
+        compiler. This reduces the burden on the developers to maintain a separate fork of LLVM like the cling
+        interpreter. The Compiler Research's cppyy fork's migration to using the upstream clang-REPL is an ongoing
+        effort. The migration is incomplete, and many tests fail in the Compiler Research's fork.
+        I aim to fix as many failing tests as possible to complete the transition to use the clang-REPL compiler
+        backend.<br>
+        Once the migration to use the clang-REPL backend is complete, I plan on implementing a multi-language
+        Jupyter Kernel on top of xeus-cpp. This multi-language kernel will support using both C++ and Python for code
+        execution and will provide the ability for the users to seamlessly use symbols defined in each other.
