I joined SDAP as a mentor in late 2022, having seen Stepheny Perez's talk at ApacheCon. What I saw was a project that has been doing good work for a number of years but needed a little push to get them to graduation.
Many of their contributors work for NASA JPL, an environment that is at the intersection between academia and the space program. The environment is a mixed blessing; there are so many talented individuals with specialist knowledge that there is a continuous temptation for them to look inwards. Since I have joined, they have worked hard to comply with ASF's expectations of a project (regular releases, up to date website, decisions made on list, and openness to new contributors). Nga, Riley, and Stepheny especially have worked to turn the project around, and make it outward-facing and open. I recommend that the Incubator PMC members vote for SDAP's graduation.
