Dear Apache Incubator Community, Apache Linkis has been incubating [1] since 2021-08-02 for over 15 months. The Linkis community has grown rapidly under the guidance of mentors and the Apache Way. After self-checking the Linkis maturity model [2] and having discussion [3], we started a vote [4] for graduation within the Linkis community and got unanimous positive feedback [5]. We believe Apache Linkis (Incubating) is now ready to graduate to be a Top Level Project. We'd like to have a discussion with the incubator community and get more feedback.
Here is an overview of the Apache Linkis(incubating) to help with the discussion. *Community* ● 4 new PPMC members were added, bringing the total number of PPMC members to 24 from 15 different organizations. ● 13 new committers were added(including the new PPMC members), bringing the total number of committers to 33 from 21 different organizations. ● 79 new contributors. The number of contributors is now 128 and growing. ● 20 biweekly online meetings were held in the community among PPMC members, committers, contributors, and users. The meeting minutes are recorded on the cwiki and mailing list [6][7]. ● The dev@linkis mailing list currently has 113 subscribers. ● We've confirmed the VP, PMC, and Committers in the preparation discussion at private@linkis [8]. Shuai Di(shua...@apache.org) was voted as Vice President. *Project* ● Apache Linkis(incubating) builds a computation middleware layer to facilitate connection, governance and orchestration between the upper applications and the underlying data engines. ● Linkis community released a total of 7 Apache releases [9] by 7 different release managers from 6 different organizations. ● 1935 pull requests created, and 1894 pull requests closed [10]. ● 1488 issues created, and 1271 issues closed [11]. ● The release cadence is about 2 months, with an average of 200+ issues and 270+ pull requests per release. *Brands, License, and Copyright* ● We submitted an application for the brand [12] and it has been reviewed and approved. ● Linkis community maintains project code on GitHub and all modules code is under Apache 2.0 license. We have reviewed all the dependencies and ensured they do not bring any license issues [13].
