Thanks, Noah. Yes, of course: I'm happy to work with MetaModel on a press release announcing their graduation.
Process-wise, I will need to work a member of the PMC/team to get the draft developed. I'd like to get this done for early next week, if possible.

Sally, Apache MetaModel just graduated. We're a reasonably small project, but it would be nice to get the word out. At the minimum, a blog post on the ASF blog accompanied with a tweet and a post to the MetaModel dev@ list would be good. Do you think that a press release is warranted? (Do we always do PRs for graduations?)
