Hello Justin, Thank you for your feedback. Please find more information following:
- Indications that the committer/PPMC bar may be too high and not all forms of contribution recognized → Comment noted. We will no longer insist that committers are code contributors. - A new PPMC member is not being added in the correct way → Are there any additional steps that need to be taken to complete this process? - Other than that recent addition no other PPMC members added → The voting process for Pieterjan De Potter (Ghent University) and Nick Sorrell (Cintio Ltd) to become PPMC members will begin immediately. - May be some concern about the employment diversity of the PPMC members. The proposed new PPMC members above are not affiliated with any other PPMC in any way. - John Gemignani [Bitnine] → Initial member of the project at the time of donation - Josh Innis [Bitnine] → Initial member of the project at the time of donation - Eya Badal [Bitnine] → Initial member of the project at the time of donation - Mason Sharp [Immuta] → Initial member of the project at the time of donation - Jasper Blues [Libration Data] → Initial member of the project at the time of donation - Dehowe Feng [Bitnine] - Pieterjan De Potter [Ghent university] → Soon to be PPMC - Nick Sorrell [Cintio] → Soon to be PPMC - Issues with headers and licensing a few months back → All were fixed at the time when 0.6.0 was released. -People not signed up to the right mailing lists → All the active people did. Jasper (initial member) and Mason (initial member) have been mainly following and supporting the project and will sign up to the mailing lists. Raphael (mentor) and Suneel (mentor) have not been active at all. - I see in the maturity guide under releases it mentions docker files but these don’t seem to be documented on the website? Where are these located? This related JIRA is a little concerning [1]. The docker image is available at https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/joefagan/incubator-age and a link is provided on the website on the Releases page. The image (>800MB) cannot reside on age.apache.org because it exceeds the file size limit of 25MB. - There are some minor trademark issues on the Bitnine site e.g [2] → All will be fixed in a day. - Releases of Age-viewer not following ASF policy → The first official Apache release for the Age-viewer is in the voting process and it follows the ASF policy. - Links to download 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 on the download page are not correct [3] They are fixed now - I notice one person who replied to this thread had a agedb.io email address - what is it relationship with the project? Agedb is a US startup (incorporated in California May this year) and is affiliated with Bitnine Global, who contributed the original AGE source codes to the Apache Software Foundation. The purpose of Agedb is not yet clearly defined but it is expected to be to provide graph database solutions and related services. The agedb.io email address belongs to Andrew Ko (also a consultant to Bitnine) who is one of the committers. He has been helping the project, consulting on the roadmap and website, and nurturing technical collaboration with other Big Data related Apache projects. Thank you very much again for your time and support.
