Hi Hoppers, Mentors, With the Hop 0.60, 0.70 and 0,99 versions released and Hop 1.0 around the corner, I guess it's fair to say we've been successful in building software releases the Apache Way.
In addition to building and releasing software, we've also grown as an Apache project in other areas. Over the last couple of months, Hop: - passed ip/name/branding clearing[1], - has grown the community: our social media following grows every day, we've recently added new committers, with more to follow. Subscriptions to the mailing list are still relatively low but growing. We've added community guidelines[2] to the website and (more importantly) live by them. - cleaned up a number of code import issues. We believe licenses, dependencies, software grants etc are now up to date I've checked the Apache Project Maturity Model[3] and don't see any items that could be blocking for Hop at this point. Hop mentors, what is your opinion on this? Do you think Hop is getting ready to graduate? Are there any remaining issues that we're currently missing? Your feedback would be very much appreciated! Regards, Bart [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-191 [2] http://hop.apache.org/community/ethos/ [3] http://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
