Hi all, IoTDB graduated from the incubator last year. And next month, it is the first anniversary of Apache IoTDB (Apache announced IoTDB's graduation on 23th, Sep, 2020).
This year, we have: - 1277 discussions on the mailing list. - 740 Jira issues - 272 Github issues - 1767 pull requests - we enabled Github Discussion, created Apache IoTDB Slack, etc.. - 3 major versions are released In total, we have: - 138 contributors that contributing codes (statistics by Github) - 24 PMCs and 41 Apache committers - GitHub starts: 1.5k We can see the community grows larger and larger. The achievement belongs to everyone in the community, including the committers, but also all users, evangelists, and mentors, etc.. Thank everyone for your contributions. As you know, Apache IoTDB is initially donated from Tsinghua University in 2018. After a short discussion with Prof. Jianmin Wang, the dean of the School of Software, Tsinghua University, he decides to donate 100K Chinese Yuans to the contributors in the community, as the gift of Apache IoTDB's anniversary celebration. Everyone who is in the community can get a part of the money (With regard to how to pay people around the world, let's put it aside now). Maybe it is not too much, but I think it will be very meaningful. So, I'd like to start a discussion, to decide, - how to define the contributors. Maybe: All persons that did one of the following things: submit PRs, have public talks to introduce IoTDB, other ways to popularize IoTDB. - how to assign the quota. Maybe: Anonymous voting Look forward to hearing from you. Best, ----------------------------------- Xiangdong Huang School of Software, Tsinghua University 黄向东 清华大学 软件学院
