[VOTE] Graduate Apache Sedona as an Apache Top Level Project

2022-12-05 Thread Jia Yu
Dear Apache Incubator Community,

Apache Sedona has been incubating since 07-19-2020. For over 2 years, the
Sedona community has made great progress and grown rapidly under the
guidance of our mentors. We believe the Sedona project has met the
conditions for graduation.
