Hi AGE community and Mentors, Since entering incubation 18 months ago in April 2020 and with five versions of AGE released, and 0.6.0 imminent, it's fair to say the AGE community has demonstrated its ability to build software releases the Apache Way.
We have prepared an assessment of the Apache AGE podling’s maturity, meant to help inform the decision (of the mentors, community, Incubator PMC, and ASF Board of Directors) to graduate it as a top-level Apache project. We used the ASF project maturity model <https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html> to evaluate the Apache AGE project and assess itself as having no major areas for concern. The assessment can be found at the Apache AGE website <https://age.apache.org/#> under the COMMUNITY menu. In addition to building and releasing software, the community has grown the Apache AGE project in other areas. - There have been 64 unique contributors across the AGE and the subproject AGE Viewer. These Contributors have raised >170 issues or pull requests. - We have been addressing Github issues since the start but timeliness was an issue. In April we created our internal SLA to categorise (label), assign, and respond to issue and pull requests. Since April, 95% are responded within 72 hours (80% of issues are responded to within 24 hrs). - Contributions span more than 20 countries across the globe - Belarus, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, UK, Ukraine, USA, and Vietnam. - We have amassed positive comments throughout and gathered >470 stars. - We have committers from 4 different companies. AGE mentors, what is your opinion on this? Do you agree that we are ready to graduate? Are there any remaining issues that we can improve on? If we can capture your issues of concern we can then work those issues to resolution. Your feedback would be very much appreciated! Regards, Eya
