Hi Ibrahim

the maturity matrix is a document listing the topics required for graduation.

For instance, you can see the one I did for CarbonData:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CARBONDATA/Apache+Maturity+Model+Assessment+for+CarbonData

I agree with the release, and it's what I already proposed (I'm also volunteer to deal with the release, and review the PR).

JB

Thanks JB!

Totally agree with you, and I'll be happy to help to move this project
forward if I can.

I'm not sure what will be in the maturity matrix to allow a project to
graduate, but I do believe that we need the next release (v0.8 ?)  soon and
it might give the community an idea about the feature set available and
what's missing if any. On my side, there are a couple of pull requests that
I'm interested in for sure.

Cheers,
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim

I discussed with some users, and IMHO, the podling is mature but the
community still needs to be expanded.

So, IMHO, the project should move forward towards graduation (it's what
I proposed on the podling report this month).

Unfortunately, the activity is "low" on the mailing list, so, we should:

1. prepare some communication actions (and a new release)
2. prepare the maturity matrix to identify the gaps to graduation
3. discuss about graduation and next steps

My $0.01

Hello Bikas et al.

I saw this thread (below) back in June but I haven't seen any update on
the
issue since. The project is important to one of my clients and I'd like
to
see it graduating and being supported moving forward.

Best regards,
Ibrahim

Subject: Graduate or retire
Hi all,

Apache Livy is a successful project that has met many of its initial
design
goals to provide interactive access to spark jobs. It appears to be
widely
used by many organizations and users. However, project development has
been
inactive due to lack of demand for new features and relative stability of
the code base.

At this point there are 2 options for the project given its incubating
status

    1.  Graduate - The project has been following the Apache way in its
release process and community. It can graduate as long as there are 3 pmc
willing to continue to manage the project. Also, volunteers are needed to
complete the graduation checklist and help move the project through the
graduation process.
       *   https://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html
    2.  Retire - The project will be retired and no longer be supported by
the ASF development process. Its website will be deleted and generally
new
releases would not be available. The biggest drawback of this for the
user
community is that security patches like the recent CVE release in Feb 21
will not be made available. That can be a blocker for many organizations.
       *   https://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html

What does the community think about this situation and how to proceed?
Should we graduate or retire?

When supporting graduation, please indicate willingness to drive the
graduation process and subsequently participate in the project pmc.

Bikas
