Thanks for making sure everyone is on the thread.

So it looks like the annoucement should have:

* Parquet is graduating! Yay!
* A short description of what Parquet does
* Testimonials about how awesome Parquet is
* What graduation means for the Apache Parquet community

Is that a good summary?

For the more in-depth post, what were you thinking about, Chris?

We could include a bit more project history and highlight how it has grown since becoming part of Apache. I'd like to highlight where we're headed after graduation. I think there is a lot going on we can talk about.

Thanks, Ryan --hey, Chris!

I presume we'll connect with a bit of an action plan; in the interim, here's 
what I need from you, using the Apache Samza announcement as an example:

- "what is Apache Parquet" --e.g. the second paragraph of "Apache Samza is 
a..." (please note that although many of the press who cover us are technically oriented, they 
are not technologists, so we'll need to keep the 0s and 1s to a minimum)

- where is it used, or preferably, "who uses it?"

- why does this matter? I.e., why Parquet vs. other solutions in this area?


...also, a quote from the PMC Chair would be great as well.

I'll be giving everything the ASF edit for tone/house style, as well as create 
the headline, boilerplates, etc., so no need to worry about that.

Cheers & chat soon,
Sally

I've started a google doc here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AQqCUelre_4_7jkCjoOixZLJEsiyU7KorklcOI53Fbg/edit?usp=sharing

It's currently read-only except for Sally, Chris, and myself. If you're
interested in helping, just send a request and I'll add permissions for you.

I've started two sections, one for the Apache annoucement and one for
the in-depth post, which I think we would like to participate in as well.

I think the draft deadline of Sunday sounds fine, though I'll probably
try to get it done by Friday. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris. Hello, Ryan!

I'll be happy to work with you to issue a press release to announce Parquet's 
graduation from the Apache Incubator.

The earliest we can issue the announcement will be Monday 27 April.

Whom should I be working with from the podling to get the draft going? An 
example of what this will look like is at
https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/date/20150127 --please note that if you'd 
like to have supporting testimonials from the Parquet community, you'll need to 
solicit those as soon as possible; in order for us to go live on Monday, we'll 
need to lock in the copy no later than 6PM ET on Sunday 26 April.

Thanks in advance for your help with this. I look forward to working with you!

Warmly,
Sally

Does anyone know who writes the announcement blog posts for projects
that graduate from the incubator? We'd like to make sure there is a post
after this week's board meeting and also highlight it on our sites as
well.
