RE: Re: Apache AGE (Incubating) - Community Graduation Vote

[Felix Cheung]

Great to hear.

I reviewed the maturity model.

1) do you have the breakdown on the PPMC membership on affiliation
(companies)? And PPMC growth?

2) Is there a list of community members (committer and PPMC? It was
mentioned in the maturity model item CS10 but not sure I see it on the
age.Apache.org site.

3) How is
https://github.com/apache/incubator-age-viewer released?

4) the current documentation link is broken on
incubator.apache.org/projects/age.html

5) have the project completed name search and approval? Is the PPMC
checking and defending Apache AGE brand use?

6) Lastly, let’s get 0.6.0 released with licensing resolved.
