I feel the project is absolutely ready to graduate. And here is why.. * Managed two successful releases and has been very meticulous and thorough with the release process. Much of this is documented at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LENS/Licensing+in+Apache+Lens. * Very easy for new contributors and users to work with and the dev community is very extremely active * Conducts regular developer and user meetup to evangelize and grow community * Communication & discussions happen on the mailing list and jira without any exception * Project has really good benchmark for preparing quarterly reports (http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/January2015) * Actively inducts new committers and PMC members
Overall, I feel that project has learnt to do things "The Apache Way" during this incubation process and is mature enough to graduate and function independently.
