Hi all, I would like to open another vote for Apache DataFu graduating from Incubator. We previously voted on this back in July, 2017 and the vote passed <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-datafu-dev/201708.mbox/%3CCAA4Vo8CNf0sVw0veP2GdV9VN%3DaP5-Q8kstgY%2B0xM48kNuJMFWw%40mail.gmail.com%3E>. Following that vote, there was a discussion <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaa4vo8duqh2kkq82bom4aj8gyohs8hoauywco2mutibwgwx...@mail.gmail.com%3E> in the Incubator general list about DataFu graduating. There were several pieces of feedback:
* Comments about number of committers vs. proposed PMC size (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3Cop.y7jw80af4ntv07@desktop-v42f38k%3E> and here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaoqetn_txym0mgz_qujg9xdiwur2_vg5msde96fmvbubqri...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ) * Comments about process for removing committers (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccafameylxx5vd-t7z4mqkkq6y_m8bedu975tjsubay7b5qvu...@mail.gmail.com%3E> and here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3CCAFAMeY+nwEV7evK12dsjVMXt5o3OFGen9PAnfUhRvQ=4vre...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ) * Comments about the website, sha-512 extension, etc. (here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201710.mbox/%3ccaogo0vzn4mlw-es-oz8w1hvhs70y_bwwikjjri9sx3n0s8s...@mail.gmail.com%3E> ). DATAFU-131 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-131> was filed to address these. All of that feedback should be addressed as of now (see the bottom of this email for the more detailed summary). The list of proposed PMC members has been updated in the graduation resolution to include 11 of the current committers. The remaining committers declined to remain committers and join the PMC. Upon graduation these individuals will no longer be committers. However given their past contributions would be considered if they wished to become committers again in the future. With this feedback addressed, I reopened the discussion <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201801.mbox/%3CCAA4Vo8ConNierrF679LPxCyaoGw8tYLWKnd0gJa64SkG_GVuCw%40mail.gmail.com%3E> in the Incubator general list. There has only been positive feedback so far. Given the above, I again propose that Apache DataFu graduate from incubator and become a top-level project. The proposed graduation resolution can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Gradua tion+Resolution. The vote will be open for 72 hours. [ ] +1 approve of graduation, graduation resolution and changes to committers discussed above [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why) My vote: +1 If this vote passes then the next step is an Incubator PMC vote. I will forward this email to the Incubator general list as an FYI that the vote is taking place. -Matt P.S. To summarize what has happened since the previous discussion in the Incubator general list: * Each committer was reached out to and asked whether they were willing to join the PMC and fulfill the responsibilities that come with it. The graduation resolution <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Graduation+Resolution> has been updated to reflect those who were willing to join the PMC. The remainder declined to remain committers. The proposed PMC size is now 11of the current committers. The remaining committers will no longer be committers upon graduation. * The Becoming a Committer <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Becoming+a+Committer> page no longer has a section about removing committers. * All the issues that were raised and led to DATAFU-131 being filed have been addressed. A summary: - The Quick Start page has been replaced with a Download page <http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/docs/download.html>. The list of source releases is prominent at the top and there is a section describing how to validate releases. - Links to ASF website, license, thanks, apache feather, etc. were added - Links have been updated to reflect recent 1.3.3 release. - Old releases have been cleaned up from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/datafu and https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/datafu. - DataFu Whimsy <https://whimsy.apache.org/pods/project/datafu> page is now mostly passing aside from Image and Events (not clear if these are expected to pass). - SHA-512 checksum file now ends in .sha512. The new release 1.3.3 included this change.
