One example that I personally find important is the discussion of the Gluon brand. People have expressed confusion about how the name is used by multiple non-ASF projects, the MXNet team finds the Gluon name very valuable yet the discussion on how to protect the name and decide on acceptable use by other projects has stalled [1]. I suggest you make a decision on this topic before you go for graduation. regards, Lieven [1] https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/mxnet-dev/201903.mbox/%3ccac_cu1gi+3s6ob48kt0x5wta4oxdum8uq9tmnyku2ujyaya...@mail.gmail.com%3e > You can find more about graduation policy in here: > https://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html > > Thanks, > Qing >
