Hi Dominik,
Thank you for suggesting the discussion on graduation.
Looking at your scetch of the StreamPipes history, it's really
impressive how far StreamPipes' journey has already come and I'm excited
to see where it goes in the future.
So I agree with you and the other community members that we are ready to
move towards graduation and start the process of asking the incubator
list and the ASF board for their approval.
More than that, I really like the idea - I think I remember discussing
this with you before - of planning a "graduation release" where we
clean up StreamPipes a bit to be ready for the official announcement.
I think we can start on that that soon, or even now.
Best
Tim

Hi Chris,
thanks for bringing this up!
I think all PPMC members have also subscribed to the list - what about
an opt-out approach where PPMC members who don't want to be part of
the PMC can express that before preparing the board resolution?
Personally, I think it would be great to have at least all PPMC
members in the initial PMC.
Also, in this thread any opinion regarding graduation is highly
welcome independent from being active or less-active PPMC member,
committer or contributor ;-)
Cheers
Dominik

With my mentor hat on: I think you are ready, so I support this.
Also think about discussing things like: Who will be part of the
initial PMC? I remember in PLC4X we had loads of totally inactive PPMC
members, some never even bothered signing up for the private project
list or the project list. So We used that to shed ourselves of
dead-skin ;-)

Subject: [DISCUSS] Graduate StreamPipes as TLP?
Hi,
since StreamPipes joined the Apache Incubator in November 2019, a lot
has happened:
* We’ve had five releases in the incubator so far, with three
different release managers
* We’ve had steady community growth with many new committers &
PPMC members
* We have constant traffic on the mailing lists and I think we
have really adopted the Apache way for development
* StreamPipes has now over 9.000 commits, has evolved in terms of
quality and feature-richness and we had many talks at ApacheCons and
many other events to increase attention for our tool
* Our self-assessment of the maturity model [1] looks good and all
boxes are ticked 😉
So from my personal view, we are quite ready for graduation to a TLP!
The graduation process foresees that we as a community discuss
graduation readiness and have a community vote. Afterwards, we bring
this to the Incubator list where another vote happens. Finally, the
ASF board makes the final decision on graduation to a top-level
project. The whole process will probably take several weeks.
But first – what do you think? Should we go for graduation?
Cheers
Dominik
