Yes, you do typically attract new devs via technical merit/worth, but the graduation requirements really have nothing to do with the technical details. Ok people have asked for more material from me like a code walk through. I will address those. We haven't seen any new contributors, have we? This information is a bit difficult to query from Jira but I think we have had a small contribution that I can remember: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOSSIP-31 I believe there was on other. I plan on committing this once we lock in the release. Here is my update -------------------- Gossip Gossip is a system to form peer-to-peer networks using the gossip protocol. Gossip has been incubating since 2016-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Create some tutorial videos and blog posts to educate people on Gossip Project 2. Focus on some critical technnical improvements multi-node testing and accrual failure detection that will be critical for adoption into other projects Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? One contributer has been voted as a committer. There are 13 watches 24 stars on github. Sean Busbey has stepped down as a mentor. Sean's early help was critical to this hatchling. Thank you Sean. Drew Farris has taken a role as a mentor. Some technical features were frozen out until we completed our first release. Effort was spent on doing the first release (getting access, key signing, correctly enabling RAT maven plugin etc). This was mostly one-time effort. Date of last release: Our first release is currently in voting. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Chandresh Panchol as added as a committer.
