I'm also in favor of graduation.

Graduation a great step, I am in favor.
I would like to see a bigger community [ of public users, and contributors
], and those from different organizations. But, graduation may help that -
as being graduated is a strong signaling mechanism.

Hi All,
I’m initiating this DISCUSS thread to talk through the communities
perspective (at this point in time) on Graduation as a Top Level project.
Flagon has tried to Graduate twice before first in 2018, and then in
2020.
Each time, we didn’t get any strong blockers, but some tickets that we
worked to burn down. Ultimately, though the graduation VOTE on
general@incubator just lost steam. Here is the last thread:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/svf7ckpohmt4s9cflf35m12n3w0sz46z <
https://lists.apache.org/thread/svf7ckpohmt4s9cflf35m12n3w0sz46z>
Now, the Incubator is highly motivated to push projects that have been in
Incubation status longer than two years to move toward graduation. Flagon
is CERTAINLY on that list, and the remark is that we should have
graduated.
At this point, there are certainly ways that our project and community
can
improve. However, the following is true:
1. The community has consistently VOTED in favor Graduation
2. Mentors have consistently been in favor of Graduation
3. The project has demonstrated stability and continued growth over the
years
4. The project meets the maturity model of the incubator:
https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
<
https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
5. The Incubator is now very engaged in graduating (I suspect VOTEs on
INCUBATOR won’t fizzle out)
The project and the community, like software, are never done. So the
question to DISCUSS is whether the community agrees that we’re ready to
self-govern and continue development outside the Incubator.
Let’s discuss over the next week, and move to a VOTE on the week of the
31
OCT 2022.
Best,
Josh
