I have had several people tell me they want to wait until PIO is not incubating before using it. This even after explaining that “incubating” has more to do with getting into the Apache Way of doing things and has no direct link to quality or community. I can only conclude from this that “incubating” is holding back adoption.
And yet we have absorbed the Apache Way and will have at least 3 releases (including 12) a incubating. We have brought in a fair number of new committers and seem to have a healthy community of users. +1 for a push to graduate.

I am kickstarting this thread so that we can discuss on these 3 things: 1. Does the development community feel ready to graduate? 2. If we are to graduate, who should we include in the list of the initial PMC? 3. If we are to graduate, who should be the VP of the initial PMC? These points are relevant for graduation. Please take a look at the official graduation guide: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html. In addition, Sara and I have been working to transfer the PredictionIO trademark to the ASF. We will keep you updated with our progress. I would also like to propose to cut a 0.12.0 release by merging JIRAs that have a target version set to 0.12.0-incubating for graduation. 0.12.0 will contain cleanups for minor license and copyright issues that were pointed out in previous releases by IPMC. Let me know what you think. Regards, Donald
