Hi all, 3 years ago, on Dec 8, 2015, ASF announced Apache Kylin as a Top-Level Project after incubating about 11 months: https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_announces85
eBay is the most generous company for this project, she not only contributed this OLAP for Hadoop project at the beginning in 2015 and also continually invest in this project. Many great features came to recent releases are from eBay, and more are coming as always. Would like to say thanks to everybody who contribute to Kylin community in the past years, especially to our mentors. Without our mentors' coach, we can't make it since the initial committers have very limited experience in open source. Now some Kylin PMCs already became mentors for other incubating projects. To bring their experiences to other people who are struggling on as same as us at that monument. PMCs, committers and all contributors, users brought so many great things to this community, we found many great talents who always have great idea, to make Kylin better, to leverage Kylin to serve different scenarios beyond the original design purpose. And more exiting one is there are so many great use cases from all of the world, China, Japan, US, Spain, Europe, and other regions. Hundreds use cases already published in the internet, in almost all industries. This is the real charms of open source, connected different people from different places for different goals, and the result is growing this community more and more. Appreciated to everyone who helped and contributed to Kylin. BTW, if you are using Kylin, please leave your message here or contact me to enrich our "Powered By" page, your use cases and experience will inspire other people very much: http://kylin.apache.org/community/poweredby.html Luke Han VP of Apache Kylin.
