Re: [DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Linkis(incubating) as an Apache Top Level Project

[PJ Fanning]

I agree that Linkis is ready to graduate. The community is well established and 
there was a large vote within that community to support this move [1].
I am a Linkis committer and recently joined the Incubator PMC.

[DISCUSS] Graduate Flagon from Apache Incubator as Top Level Project

[Joshua Poore]

Hello Incubator,


Flagon has been incubating since 2016-07-13 (originally ‘SensSoft’ [1]). During 
our incubation, the Flagon project developed steadily, developing viable 
open-source capability and doing so with democratized governance and commitment 
to productization, maintenance, and experimentation. Throughout our long 
incubation, our close and consistent community followed the Apache Way.

Our community and our mentors believe that Flagon has met the Incubator’s 
maturity model[2]. We believe that we are ready to graduate from the Incubator 
as a self-governing, Top-Level Project.

Specifically, 

1. Our code is well curated, maintained, documented and released through Apache 
processes and with the Apache (v2) License. 
2. Our code is broadly disseminated—through official Apache distribution, NPM, 
GitHub (and soon PyPI).
3. We maintain an Apache-Compliant Website[3] to link users to official release 
mirrors [4]
4. The community changed its name from 'SensSoft' to 'Flagon' to remove 
corporate entanglement with the organization that originally initiated the 
project, and has completed IP Clearance processes for ‘Flagon’ [5]
5. In total, we have produced 7 Apache releases with 4 different release 
managers.
6. In the past year, we have onboarded 4 new committers, 1 new PPMC, and 
accepted a major software grant from the University of Maryland; our community 
is small, but active in VOTEs, Releases, and DISCUSSions. 
7. Governance is conducted and documented through Apache lists 

Our last Graduation discussion was 10/2020, at which point the Incubator 
identified issues related to deprecated sub-projects and some committers that 
were not subscribed to @private lists [6]. Since then we have resolved these 
issues and continued to develop our products, grow our community, and operate 
the Apache Way.

Our community has discussed graduation [7], VOTE’d in favor of it [8,9], and 
the PPMC has reviewed our Graduation Resolution [10] (below).

BEGIN DRAFT RESOLUTION
-

Establish the Apache Flagon Project 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the 
Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project

logging capability useful for business analytics, usage analytics, usability 
and user testing.

be known as the "Apache Flagon Project", be and hereby is established pursuant 
to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further

created, the person holding such office to serve at the direction of the Board

Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, 
or until a successor is appointed; and be it further 

RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Flagon PMC be and hereby is tasked with the 
creation of a set of bylaws intended to encourage open development and 
increased participation in the Apache Flagon Project; and be it further 

RESOLVED, that the Apache Flagon Project be and hereby is tasked with the

We look forward to the Incubator’s feedback and taking the next step with 
Flagon.

This discussion will be open for 72 or more hours.

Respectfully,

Joshua Poore (Flagon PPMC)
