Thanks, Kasper.
I'll incorporate this into my draft and get something back to you later tonight.

Subject: Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Graduation of Apache MetaModel from the Incubator
Here's my draft at the stuff. Everybody please pitch in if you have suggestions
for improvements. I certainly don't want to make myself the only judge of what
goes in these points.
--------------
Description of the project:
Apache MetaModel is a data access framework, providing acommon interface for
discovery, exploration and querying of different types ofdata sources. Unlike
traditional mapping frameworks, MetaModel emphasizesmetadata of the data source
itself and the ability to add more data sources atruntime. With this approach
we provide a schema model and a SQL-like query APIthat is applicable to
databases, CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, NoSQLdatabases, Cloud-based business
applications and even regular Java objects. Thislevel of abstraction makes
MetaModel great for dynamic data processingapplications, less so for
applications modelled strictly around a particulardomain. This is why we call
it “MetaModel” – it’s a model for interacting withdata based on metadata – and
it enabled developers to go above the physicaldata layer and apply their
application to just about any data.
--------------
Quote from the PMC chair (me):
It’s a great privilege for us to have MetaModel graduated toa Top Level Project
at Apache. It makes us proud and excited about welcomingmore people into our
community of coders and users.
In our incubation period from July 2013 we’ve learned a lotabout the Apache
Way. It’s been a joy to follow the growth in the community andin functionality.
The last year we’ve introduced connectivity for Apache HBase,JSON files,
ElasticSearch, Apache Cassandra and a whole lot more. It’s always agreat
pleasure to see the excitement in people’s eyes when they realize thatyou can
develop for these data sources using the same API.
The thing I would emphasize about MetaModel is that itenables you to
consolidate code and consolidate data a lot quicker than anyother library out
there. In these ‘Big Data days’ there’s a lot of focus onperformance and
scalability, and surely these topics also surround ApacheMetaModel. But in our
experience the Big Data challenge is not always aboutmassive loads of data, but
instead massive variation and feeding a lot ofdifferent sources into a single
application. Now to make such an applicationyou both need a lot of connectivity
capabilities and a lot of modellingflexibility. Those are the two aspects where
Apache MetaModel shines. We makeit possible for you to build applications that
retain the complexity of yourdata – even if that complexity may change over
time. The trick to achieve this isto model on the metadata and not on your
assumptions.
--------------
I am also working on some quote(s) from relevant people in our organization -
or rather from both Human Inference and Neopost (actually Human Inference is a
daughter company of Neopost, but MetaModel is used in both companies by now,
also out of the Human Inference context).
Best regards,Kasper

Cool! I will talk to our CEO to see if he wants to explain how Metamodel is
helping out Stratio and I will also write up how we are integrating the project
in our development.
Kind regards,
Alberto

Alberto, I would really, really like to see that! :-) Both for the sake of this
press release, and also in general I would love to hear about what you guys are
doing with it! I think it's a great thing for us as a community to share why we
need MetaModel in our work (or other) projects.
Sally, I will start writing up the initial drafts of what you asked for.
2014-12-04 13:49 GMT+01:00 Alberto Rodriguez <ardl...@gmail.com>:
Hi Sally/Kasper,
I would be more than happy to write a short paragraph stating how we are using
and applying Apache MetaModel on our current project. Let me know if you think
that this would be useful.
Kind regards,
Alberto

A quick follow-up regarding quotes:
Our TLP announcements have ranged from having single quotes (VP of the project)
to several perspectives from the PMC to multiple endorsements from the
community. [1], [2], and [3] are examples that you might find useful.
Those organizations supporting/using MetaModel are also welcome to issue their
own standalone "hurrah, Apache MetaModel!" press release at that time as well
(we love it when multiple announcements come out to support a podling's
graduation!). We just need to make sure that we coordinate messaging/timing/etc.
Should you decide to include supporting testimonials from the community, you'll
need to add "soliciting quotes" to your "to do" list.
We should lock in the announcement date --we usually issue press releases on
Tuesdays, as that garners the best global media exposure/coverage, followed by
Mondays, then Wednesdays. So in this instance, let's shoot for Tuesday 9
December, if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help. Feel fee to ping me if you need anything!
Warmly,
Sally

Subject: Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Graduation of Apache MetaModel from the Incubator
Hello again, Kasper and MetaModel PMC --
An example of a graduation press release is available at http://s.apache.org/EUQ
To help me get the draft going for Apache MetaModel, I will need the following:
1) descriptor of what MetaModel is (and why is it important i.e., the benefits)
--an example of this is paragraph #2 in the above-referenced announcement
"Apache Drill is the world's first schema-free SQL query engine that delivers
real-time insights by removing the constraint of building and maintaining
schemas before data can be analyzed. Drill users can run interactive ANSI SQL
queries on complex or constantly evolving data including JSON, Parquet, and
HBase without ever worrying about schema definitions. As a result, Drill not
only enables rapid application development on Apache Hadoop™ but also allows
enterprise BI analysts to access Hadoop in a self-service fashion."
2) quote from the PMC chair (I can help draft this if you're stuck)
3) list of users or areas of application, preferably highly-visible (examples
of how we'd list them are at https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/date/20141021
and
https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_announces58
)
I'll work on the headline, boilerplates, etc. And as metamodel.apache.org is
live, that's one thing off our plate <g>
Thanks in advance for your help with this!
Warm regards,
Sally

Likewise! Can you let me know what you'd like from me? And maybe you have some
