A quick update: a meeting of the ASF Board of Directors is scheduled for later this week, at which the Board may consider taking action on our graduation proposal!
That said, even if the Board does enact it, any public announcement is expected to be delayed to the first half of January due to the holidays. In the meanwhile, we are still an Incubator podling and should continue to operate as such until the ASF announces otherwise... so, please hold your speculation and enthusiasm for another few weeks ;-) Davor On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 11:09 PM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net> wrote: > Congrats all ! > > Regards > JB > > > On 12/09/2016 12:42 AM, Davor Bonaci wrote: > >> A quick update: the Apache Incubator has adopted the proposed graduation >> resolution [1], and it is now presented to the ASF Board of Directors for >> their consideration. >> >> Davor >> >> [1] >> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/71a1c63837a7d1506a10af9 >> c70af1c24db988451ac5b53fa2467b9b8@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E >> >> On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 10:35 AM, Neelesh Salian <nsal...@cloudera.com> >> wrote: >> >> Quite an interesting discussion.
