Hi, I would like to reopen the discussion regarding Apache DataFu's graduation from incubator. In the community vote <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-datafu-dev/201708.mbox/%3CCAA4Vo8CNf0sVw0veP2GdV9VN%3DaP5-Q8kstgY%2B0xM48kNuJMFWw%40mail.gmail.com%3E> there was consensus to graduate to TLP status. Here is my email that kicked off the previous discussion:
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaa4vo8duqh2kkq82bom4aj8gyohs8hoauywco2mutibwgwx...@mail.gmail.com%3E There were several pieces of feedback from that discussion that should all be addressed as of now. * Comments about number of committers vs. proposed PMC size (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3Cop.y7jw80af4ntv07@desktop-v42f38k%3E> and here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaoqetn_txym0mgz_qujg9xdiwur2_vg5msde96fmvbubqri...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ) * Comments about process for removing committers (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccafameylxx5vd-t7z4mqkkq6y_m8bedu975tjsubay7b5qvu...@mail.gmail.com%3E> and here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3CCAFAMeY+nwEV7evK12dsjVMXt5o3OFGen9PAnfUhRvQ=4vre...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ) * Comments about the website, sha-512 extension, etc. (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaogo0vzn4mlw-es-oz8w1hvhs70y_bwwikjjri9sx3n0s8s...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ). DATAFU-131 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-131> was filed to address these. To summarize what has happened since the last discussion: * Each committer was reached out to and asked whether they were willing to join the PMC and fulfill the responsibilities that come with it. The graduation resolution <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Graduation+Resolution> has been updated to reflect those who were willing to join the PMC. The remainder declined to remain committers. The proposed PMC size is now 11 out of 14 current committers. * The Becoming a Committer <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Becoming+a+Committer> page no longer has a section about removing committers. * All the issues that were raised and led to DATAFU-131 being filed have been addressed. A summary: - The Quick Start page has been replaced with a Download page <http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/docs/download.html>. The list of source releases is prominent at the top and there is a section describing how to validate releases. - Links to ASF website, license, thanks, apache feather, etc. were added - Links have been updated to reflect recent 1.3.3 release. - Old releases have been cleaned up from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/datafu and https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/datafu. - DataFu Whimsy <https://whimsy.apache.org/pods/project/datafu> page is now mostly passing aside from Image and Events (not clear if these are expected to pass). - SHA-512 checksum file now ends in .sha512 Below is the original discussion email with updated stats and updated graduation resolution. Apache DataFu began incubating Jan 5th, 2014. Since then we have made 4 releases and added 4 committers. The Apache DataFu website <http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/> includes documentation such as a getting started page and guides for various methods.
