Hi all, Last time we checked whether we were ready to graduate was in July/August 2016. Since we started incubation we have released a number of times succesfully (so we can say that we have that under our belt).
Our community shows a healthy interaction on our mailing list(s) and through github (pull requests -947 closes, forks - 85, stars - 91, watch - 25, all per today) and several presentations have been made (ApacheCon/Apache BigData/other events). All in all, our reports (through the Incubator reports) to the board show a podling, where its contributors act in accordance with the ASF principles and is moving forward in a steady pace. And our contributors are working towards our next release.. So, I believe it is time that we start working towards graduation. One action we should all work at is looking at [1] and update our details (e.g. affiliation, e-mail address) to reflect a current situation. A major aspect regarding graduation is diversity. This is not as much a point with respect to committer. But it might be perceived (by Incubator voters - with binding vote - as an issue when it comes down to the proposition of the intended PMC (after graduation). - If we feel that diversity (as it is now in the PPMC, or as it will be in the future PMC) will be an issue, we should invite more from a different flock (e.g. consider report reviewers/others). - If we feel that we can successfully address IPMC concerns we, of course, have nothing to worry about. To come to an end of this posting: please share your thoughts on whether we are ready to graduate [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Contributors Best regards, Pierre Smits ORRTIZ.COM <http://www.orrtiz.com> OFBiz based solutions & services OFBiz Extensions Marketplace http://oem.ofbizci.net/oci-2/
