Hi All, With the 0.3.0-incubating release officially out, the Apache Griffin community and its mentors believe it is time to consider graduation to the TLP.
Apache Griffin entered incubation in December of 2016, since then, the Griffin community learned a lot about how to do things in Apache ways. Now we have a healthy and engaged community, ready to help with all questions from the Griffin community. We delivered five releases, now we can do self-driving releases in good cadence. The PPMC has demonstrated a good understanding of growing the community by electing 9 individuals as committers and PPMC members. The PPMC addressed the maturity issues one by one followed by Apache Project Maturity Model, currently all the License and IP issues are resolved. This demonstrated our understanding of ASF's IP policies. All in all, I believe this project is qualified as a true TLP and we should recognize this fact by formally awarding it such a status. This thread means to open up the very same discussion that we had among the mentors and Griffin community to the rest of the IPMC. It is a DISCUSS thread so feel free to ask questions. To get you all going, here are a few data points which may help: Project status: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/griffin.html Project website: http://griffin.incubator.apache.org/ Project documentation: http://griffin.incubator.apache.org/docs/quickstart.html http://griffin.incubator.apache.org/docs/download.html Maturity assessment: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GRIFFIN/ASF+Maturity+Evaluation DRAFT of the board resolution is at the bottom of this email Proposed PMC size: 18 members Total number of committers: 18 members PMC affiliation (* indicated chair): - eBay * (7) - Meituan (1) - VMWare (1) - Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (1) - NetEase (1) - ASF (1) - Pingan Bank (1) - Satori Software (1) - Grid Dynamics (1) - JD.com (1) - IBM (1) - Huawei (1) 452 commits on develop 431 PR”s on GitHub 30 contributors across all branches 200 issues created 195 issues resolved dev list averaged ~20 msgs/month over last 12 months committer affiliations: active * eBay * meituan * VMWare * Grid Dynamics occasional * Ontario Institute for Cancer Research * NetEase * ASF * Pingan Bank * Satori Software * JD.com * IBM * Huawei Thanks, William **Notes:** * I'm proposing myself as initial PMC chair -- Please comment this or propose other persons as well * This draft includes all existing PPMC members and mentors into the new PMC. - For all: please indicate if you want to keep being part of the PMC or if you prefer to be removed. ---------- ## Resolution to create a TLP from graduating Incubator podling X.
