Hey Guys, So, ..,
1. We've made a release and have one in the waiting (I'll vote on it Mike, promise ;) ) 2. We've added new contributors 3. We've had a TON of activity on list in terms of dev, and great, thoughtful and community oriented activity. 4. Made contributions from a number of different members of the community. What's left? Not much. I think we're ready to graduate after 0.2-incubating. We don't have a ton of diversity, that's definitely and issue, but it's not a blocking issue to graduation as evidence by recent podlings including Sqoop, etc. One other thing I think we need is a solid VP candidate for the project. The roles of this person would be filing reports with the board, and being the "eyes and ears" of the board on the project. I'm going to watch over the next month or so for a potential nominee, or more to come out of the woodworks, but once we have a candidate or two, the 0.2-incubating release, I'm going to call for an official graduation discussion and proceed. No need to linger in the Incubator longer than we have to and you guys have shown you are operating like a true Apache TLP. Thoughts?
