+1 from me along with a huge thanks and congrats to the whole Apache AGE team.
I have been involved with PostgreSQL and related open source projects for more than a decade, and when I came across this Graph extension for PostgreSQL, it immediately made me very excited and encouraged to become a part of it. I honestly believe that it is a wonderful idea with lots of potential and very bright future ahead. Although I am a bit of a silent member of the community since I joined, but I have been closely following the development and discussion and I think the project has come a long way and mature enough to graduate.
