Hi guys, I'd be curious to hear others' opinions but I think Cassandra is close to be ready for graduation (or at least preparing for it). You came a long way since the original code dump and now you have both diversity and a vibrant community. You have 3 successful official releases behind you, a larger committer and PMC group and probably more committers to attract. It's not been a painless process for sure but it's a good time to look back at what you've accomplished.
So graduation, whad'ya say? Matthieu
