Hi - I had a discussion with Joe and another gentleman involved in Pulsar.
They asked how long incubation takes. I answered that it depends. We reviewed some of the steps needed in Incubation particularly: - Release process with correct LICENSE and NOTICE - Community building requirement - especially accepting and promoting someone new from outside the initial committers. - Everything on the ML meaning decisions which might be made in conversation need to be there for a review over a few rotations of the planet. I mentioned BFDLs not being what is wanted and told the 10 year old story of POI’s OOXML flame. - Build infrastructure questions regarding unit tests some of which will be preferred on clusters. Some are currently proprietary. I’m not sure what Apache Infra currently supports so negotiation is required. I think that there is a good chance for a diverse community that will not be wholly dependent on Yahoo. End result - I am willing to sign up as a Mentor for Pulsar.
