Hi guys, Discussion has proceeded positively, so I'm calling for a community VOTE for the graduation of Apache Spark (incubating) into a top level project. If this VOTE is successful, then I'll call an Incubator PMC VOTE in 72 hours, and if that is successful, we’ll submit the project graduation resolution below into the board agenda for the next Apache board meeting.
So far, I've heard the following VOTEs (implied) during the DISCUSS thread. If you see your name there is no need to VOTE again and I’ll carry through the VOTE as below. If you want to change your VOTE, or I got it wrong, let me know and we'll change it. +1 Matei Zaharia Reynold Xin Tathagata Das Sean McNamara Patrick Wendell Mark Hamstra Chris Mattmann * Tom Graves Henry Saputra * Andy Konwinski Josh Rosen Mosharaf Chowdhury Mridul Muralidharan Nick Pentreath Andrew Xia Haoyuan Li * - indicates IPMC Anyone else interested, please VOTE to graduate Apache Spark from the Incubator.
