Earlier this year, Druid voted to graduate to a top level project. The vote passed in the Druid community and the Incubator, and a resolution was submitted to the Board, but needed to be shelved at the last minute. We are now ready to proceed to graduation once again, and so I would like to call another vote. The Druid project has re-voted and has notified the Board of these developments. We now seek consent from the Incubator community to propose a graduation resolution for the Dec 18 board meeting.
The proposed graduation resolution is nearly the same as last time; the only changes are the addition of four new initial members (fokko, furkan, qmm, and vogievetsky). For reference, 1) The Druid vote that was just held: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3b1432780b8d841fffce3033cd5cc39fe1fe0f46feccb96f036dbf01%40%3Cdev.druid.apache.org%3E 2) Our prior Incubator graduation vote, which passed earlier this year: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/19b703fdf192ddf8e31bda57264e333303113c7e44b5954a56886e05@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E Please take a minute to vote on whether or not Apache Druid should graduate to a Top Level Project by responding with one of the following: [ ] +1 Apache Druid should graduate [ ] 0 No opinion [ ] -1 Apache Druid should not graduate because...
