Hey Impala community, It's been a while that all of the Impala infrastructure has been moved over, and the community appears to be functioning healthily, generating new releases on a regular cadence as well as adding new committers and PPMC members. All of the branding stuff seems great, and the user mailing list has a healthy amount of traffic and a good track record of answering questions when they come up.
As a mentor I think it's probably time to discuss graduation. The project is already functioning in the same way as your typical Apache TLP and it seems like it's time to become one. Any thoughts? If everyone is on board, the next step would be: 1. Pick the initial PMC chair for the TLP. According to the published Impala Bylaws it seems that this is meant to rotate annually, so no need to stress too much about it. A couple obvious choices here would be Marcel (as the original founder of the project) or perhaps Jim (who has done yeoman's work on a lot of the incubation process, podling reports, etc). Others could certainly volunteer or be nominated as well. 2. Draft a Resolution for the PPMC and IPMC to vote upon. -- the resolution would include the above-decided chair as well as the list of initial PMC, etc. -- the Initial PMC could be just the current list of PPMC, or you could consider adding others at this point as well. I can help with the above process but figured I'd solicit opinions first on whether the communit feels it's ready to graduate. Thanks Todd
