Could you say why being in the incubator is helpful for that? It's
something the community has to work on regardless. If the incubator is
adding something, then great, otherwise it's just overhead on the PPMC.
True, it's overhead. But I'd like to demonstrate that we are able to
stablish proper release cycles before leaving incubator. At least that's
my personal point of view.
It's not required but often at least one ASF member stays with a new TLP
for a while to keep in contact; as the project chair has access to
Apache systems (=> edit the right SVN file!) it's not necessary. Editing
the system-wide auth file for the first time is an experience :-)
That could be useful, indeed. Besides I had in mind to offer our three
mentor to stay on board after becoming a TLP, because your experience is
much more than merely supporting stuff ;-)
Maybe you need to start reporting in board style.

What do you mean? To start to send the monthly reports internally within
the project following the board style?
As a first step I've dumped the current IPMC reports:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/marmotta/reporting/
I am okay if you would like to do one more release but I think after
that we should definitely go for graduation ;)
I agree, that could be a good option. Let see when do we manage to do
it...
The large pile of legal is done once.
So it's a matter of dealing with what's new from last release.
True, but we still need to address MARMOTTA-213 for 3.1.0-incubating.
Not a big deal, but needs to be properly managed.
BTW, just an informative reference, looks that IPMC has the checkpoint
in one year in incubation:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OlderPodlingsWithARelease
Not a checkpoint as such - as the top sentence suggests, having done the
process-necessary steps at one year the question is why have they not
graduated.
There is a major push in the incubator to get the process speeded up -
you can expect the "graduate now?" question to start coming in.
Got it.
Something for the next report in July.
Exactly, reporting which we'd need to submit in the upcoming weeks.
Cheers,
