I'm also sympathetic to this: you can see my thread here where originally I didn't think much had been going on until I explicitly checked the lists and went through the archives and saw ~7 IIRC PPMC members/committers added since entering [1]. That's community building regardless of what affiliation those new members came from. The other metrics and statistics (health of the mailing lists/open discussions have been increasing; releases have been made, etc.) are all there and outlined in [1]. > > >The page in question may be incorrect, but as it stands it does not >appear that a diverse community has been built. Having a diverse community is important and something that the project should continue to strive for. I agree at the end of day it's something that the project needs to achieve if they want to be resilient against any one company pulling out all of its support/developers. But it's something they need to *achieve* over the long run and it's not an explicit requirement for graduation as pointed out by Roy. Here's the relevant thread [2]. > > >I am sympathetic to the encouragement of company participation, but I >don't think that it serves apache to have projects that are effective >stalking horses for what are effectively private communities. I agree Ted - again, my perception of Tez recently was the same until I took the time to walk through the archives and look at the positive direction where a number of the exit criteria for the Incubator were being met. [1] outlines my own research into this. If you have specific qualms that you can point to data on, I'm all ears. But my own research into the area, along with Chris Douglas's original prompt that he felt Tez was ready (and I trust ChrisD - yes it's a matter of trust) makes me think they are ready. There are ASF members on the committee including Arun and ChrisD, so that's a good sign that the intent is there for me and there are folks watching over the community to make sure it's growing in the ASF way. > > >My sensitivity on this point is largely informed by the efforts we have >made to build the drill community beyond the core team funded by MapR.

I appreciate and value your opinion and we should figure out how to best address your concerns.
