Dear Everyone,
Having passed the Community Graduation Vote [1] by the AGE community with a vote result to graduate the incubation [2], our assessment is that Apache AGE (Incubating) is ready to graduate as a TLP. We would like to raise the topic for discussion with the IPMC. In addition to building and releasing software the Apache way, the AGE project community has grown in the following areas: - Close to 900 commits - 68 unique contributors - 4 new committers and 1 new PPMC from 3 different companies/institutions - Gathered > 500 GitHub stars - 4 Apache releases (0.3.0, 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.0) [3] - 6 mentors, 6 PPMC members (mentors excluded) and 4 committers (mentors and PPMC members excluded) - Contributions span more than 20 countries across the globe including Australia, Belarus, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Nigeria, The Philippines, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, UK, Ukraine, USA, and Vietnam - Developed and maintained Apache AGE website [4] - Created and automated documentation to support multiple versions of AGE. [5] - Developer conversations at d...@age.apache.org - Assessed ourselves against the Apache Project maturity matrix [6] and didn't find any issues [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/q2cgbnhvpzk2k0m8yfh89lzc75qym9k9 [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/lr3x9bm8jyv6o5kvyh7cf3tyxrpp2kwm [3] Release at Apache AGE website <https://age.apache.org/#> under the Releases menu.
