Hi, > Meanwhile please let me know if there is any other information that I can > provide you with. The Incubator prefers projects that already have a community around them. A little more information about that community around your project would help, so far it seems (but I could be mistaken) it’s more of an internal company project that wants to become an open source one and grow a community around it.

Hi, Thanks for the proposal, and it sounds like an interesting project. > Orphaned Products > The core developers of the AgensGraph Extension team plan to work full time > on this project. There is no risk of orphaned or abandoned code. Given they are all from some company there could be a high risk of the project being orphaned, can you provide some more information. > Homogenous Developers: > The current list of committers includes developers from several different > countries.

Four people is a small number for a functioning project management committee, while 3 is the minimum, we would like to see more initial committers. It would also be good if they were not all from the same company. Please make sure you use the most recent template when making the proposal, There's a couple of missing items.

Looking for Champion and Mentors
Hello all, I am Eya, a software engineer working with the AgensGraph Extension team (Multimodel Database) We propose to contribute AgensGraph Extension as an Apache Incubator project, and we are still looking for possible Champion and Mentors. If anyone would like to volunteer, we would greatly appreciate it. Best Regards, Eya === The draft of the proposal can be found on wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/AgensGraphExtension === You may also find following the draft(work in progress) version of the proposal as well *This proposal is the first draft and is a work in progress* Abstract AgensGraph Extension will be a multi-model database that enables graph and relational models built on PostgreSQL. Proposal We propose the AgensGraph Extension to the Apache foundation. AgensGraph Extension is to provide an extension for PostgreSQL to give the users the ability to leverage graph database on top of the existing relational database with minimal effort. The basic principle of the project is to create single storage that can handle both relational and graph model data so that the users can use the standard ANSI SQL along with openCypher (http://www.opencypher.org), the Graph query language. Background To provide some background, the AgensGraph extension project is being actively developed. This project is a new generation of a multi-model graph database for the modern complex data environment. A graph database can solve problems from very different angles, thanks to its different approach to data and its organization. By preparing data in graph models the users can apply graph algorithms that provide forte in handling complexity. Moreover, Graph data is a suitable form to apply machine learning. Prior to AgensGraph extension, there is an existing forked project which is publicly available on the following link: https://github.com/bitnine-oss/agensgraph While working on the fork version of this project, we found out that there are increasing voices asking for an extension of AgensGraph. It was then when we decided to develop and work on the extension version to provide more benefits to PostgreSQL users such as easy installation and compatibility. AgensGraph Extension is a multi-model database designed to be simple and user-friendly, which supports the relational and graph data model at the same time that enables users to integrate the legacy relational data model and the flexible graph data model in one database. AgensGraph Extension supports ANSI-SQL and openCypher (http://www.opencypher.org). SQL queries and Cypher queries can be integrated into a single query in AgensGraph Extension. Currently, we have active users and contributors that forked and used this project to build other projects. Some examples could be found in the following links: https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Data.AgensGraph/ Rationale AgensGraph mainly offers a multimodel database, eliminating the migration efforts while having relational and graph models. There is a strong need for a cohesive, easy to migrate multimodel for a relational and graph database. AgensGraph Extension is an extension of PostgreSQL which supports all the functionalities and features of the PostgreSQL and offers a graph model in addition. Users with a relational background and data model who are in need of having a graph model on top of their existing relational model can use this extension with minimal effort because they can use existing data without migration to enable graph database. Since AgensGraph Extension is based on the powerful PostgreSQL RDBMS, it is very robust, fully-featured and ready to use. AgensGraph Extension is optimized for handling complex connected graph data and provides plenty of powerful database features essential to the database environment including ACID transactions, multi-version concurrency control, stored procedure, triggers, constraints, sophisticated monitoring and a flexible data model (JSON). Moreover, AgensGraph Extension leverages the rich eco-systems of PostgreSQL and can be extended with many outstanding external modules, like PostGIS. Initial Goals A complete implementation of openCypher language specification in a PostgreSQL extension: Implementation of openCypher parser Implementation of internal AgensGraph Data Types Implementation of expression logic Implementation of Cypher language Clauses (Return, Create, Delete, Update, Match) Implementation of variable length expressions (VLE) Implementation of graph-related functions (such as aggregation) Current Status Meritocracy: Our current practices align with the meritocracy principles of Apache. AgensGraph Extension was originally created by Junseok Yang in June 2019. Committers have the freedom to work on a task independently and consult any other member of the team when necessary. Once committers have finished, a git patch is
