Sorry about that, Daniel.

Sally,
Just wanted to comment that my last name is misspelled in the Netflix
testimonial. Can someone fix that? (it's Weeks, not Week)
Thanks,Dan

Hi everyone --there's been the addition of a quote from Stripe:
"Stripe's data warehouse has been built on Parquet from the beginning," said
Avi Bryant, Engineering Manager at Stripe. "Every aspect of our pipeline, from
data import to machine learning to adhoc SQL analysis, uses Apache Parquet as
the common interchange format."
--please note that I added "Apache" to "Parquet" in the second sentence. Stripe
has also been added to the sub-head.
Are we waiting for quotes from anyone else? If not, I can add a closing
sentence and forward the final copy later today.
Thanks so much,
Sally

Hello everyone --below is the draft thus far.
I was aiming to announce on Monday by 7AM ET, but noticed that we're waiting
for additional quotes.
Also, should we get a closing quote from Julien? Perhaps something that invites
additional community participation?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks so much,
Sally

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache™ Parquet™ as a Top-Level Project
Open Source storage format for the Apache™ Hadoop® ecosystem in use at
Cloudera, NASA, Netflix, and Twitter, among other organizations
Forest Hill, MD –27 April 2015– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the
all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source
projects and initiatives, announced today that Apache™ Parquet™ has graduated
from the Apache Incubator to become a Top-Level Project (TLP), signifying that
the project's community and products have been well-governed under the ASF's
meritocratic process and principles.
"The incubation process at Apache has been fantastic and really the last step
of making Parquet a community driven standard fully integrated within the
greater Hadoop ecosystem." said Julien Le Dem, Vice President of Apache Parquet.
Apache Parquet is an Open Source columnar storage format for the Apache™
Hadoop® ecosystem, built to work across programming languages and much more:
- processing frameworks (MapReduce, Apache Spark, Scalding, Cascading, Crunch,
Kite)
- data models (Apache Avro, Apache Thrift, Protocol Buffers, POJOs)
- query engines (Apache Hive, Impala, HAWQ, Apache Drill, Apache Tajo, Apache
Pig, Presto, Apache Spark SQL)
"At Twitter, Parquet has helped us scale our big data usage by in some cases
reducing storage requirements by one third on large datasets as well as scan
and deserialization time. This translated into hardware savings as well as
reduced latency for accessing the data. Furthermore, Parquet being integrated
with so many tools creates opportunities and flexibility regarding query
engines," said Chris Aniszczyk, Head of Open Source at Twitter. "Finally, it's
just fantastic to see it graduate to a top-level project and we look forward to
further collaborating with the Apache Parquet community to continually improve
performance."
"Parquet’s integration with other object models, like Avro and Thrift, has been
a key feature for our customers," said Ryan Blue, Software Engineer at
Cloudera. "They can take advantage of columnar storage without changing the
classes they already use in their production applications."
"At Netflix, Parquet is the primary storage format for data warehousing. More
than 7 petabytes of our 10+ Petabyte warehouse is Parquet formatted data that
we query across a wide range of tools including Apache Hive, Apache Pig, Apache
Spark, PigPen, Presto, and native MapReduce. The performance benefit of
columnar projection and statistics is a game changer for our big data
platform," said Daniel Week, Software Engineer at Netflix. "We look forward to
working with the Apache community to advance the state of big data storage with
Parquet and are excited to see the project graduate to full Apache status."
"I was extremely happy to see Parquet arrive as an Incubator project," said
Chris Mattmann, Apache Parquet Incubator Mentor, and Chief Architect,
Instrument and Science Data Systems Section at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
"After talking with some in its community there was a real match with
this columnar data format technology and its community with the way that we do
things here at the ASF. Parquet has had an exemplar Incubation, and the project
has big things ahead of it. I am encouraging my Data Science Team at NASA to
evaluate it for data representation especially
as it relates to our science holdings in Earth, planetary and space sciences,
and astrophysics."
Stripe? @cra reached out to Avi, said he would get something by Monday
Criteo?

Availability and Oversight
Apache Parquet software is released under the Apache License v2.0 and is
overseen by a self-selected team of active contributors to the project. A
Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the Project's day-to-day operations,
including community development and product releases. For downloads,
documentation, and ways to become involved with Apache Parquet, visit
http://parquet.apache.org/ and https://twitter.com/ApacheParquet
About the Apache Incubator
The Apache Incubator is the entry path for projects and codebases wishing to
become part of the efforts at The Apache Software Foundation. All code
donations from external organizations and existing external projects wishing to
join the ASF enter through the Incubator to: 1) ensure all donations are in
accordance with the ASF legal standards; and 2) develop new communities that
adhere to our guiding principles. Incubation is required of all newly accepted
projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure,
communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner
consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not
necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. For more
information, visit http://incubator.apache.org/.
About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)
Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than 350
leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server --the world's most
popular Web server software. Through the ASF's meritocratic process known as
"The Apache Way," more than 500 individual Members and 4,500 Committers
successfully collaborate to develop freely available enterprise-grade software,
benefiting millions of users worldwide: thousands of software solutions are
distributed under the Apache License; and the community actively participates
in ASF mailing lists, mentoring initiatives, and ApacheCon, the Foundation's
official user conference, trainings, and expo. The ASF is a US 501(c)(3)
charitable organization, funded by individual donations and corporate sponsors
including Bloomberg, Budget Direct, Cerner, Citrix, Cloudera, Comcast,
