Hi, I think you need more contributors for your project. The ASF Incubator requires that podlings have enough PPMC members to carry out votes on releases and on adding new committers and PPMC members. https://github.com/ubunye-ai-ecosystems/ubunye_engine https://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html https://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html
You might also want to consider changing to the Apache License before you add extra contributors because changing license requires the permission of everyone who has contributed code. Other members of the Incubator PMC may have different opinions but my initial take is that it would be best for you to try to build a bigger community around your project and then get back to us. Best of luck with the project, PJ On Thu, 6 Aug 2026 at 15:58, ThaBang ! <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Apache Incubator Community, > > I am reaching out to ask whether Ubunye Engine may be a suitable candidate > for future discussion within the Apache Incubator ecosystem, or whether you > could point me to the most appropriate pathway. > > I am Thabang Lukhetho Mashinini-Sekgoto, a PhD candidate in Computer > Science at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.
