Thank you to Roman, Ted and others on previous threads regarding guidance on being a new Apache project.
1) We are reviewing the references mentioned to learn from them and apply them to the MADlib project. The intention of moving to Apache from the previous OSS governance model is to fully embrace the Apache way of developing software in an inclusive, community-minded manner. That is our intention and we will work collectively towards achieving that goal. 2) On a more mechanical note, a "catchup JIRA" was filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-912 in order to catch up between the time of the code grant to Apache and bringing in dev work that was in flight at the time. We apologize for any inconvenience in clubbing together these multiple items in a single JIRA/pull request; it was a one-time operation. I have amended the Nov incubator report http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2015 regarding #2. Regards, Frank
