Apache NiFi (incubating) community,Our mentors have suggested we are ready to graduate from the incubator and encouraged us to do so. We have had threads discussing whether we're ready or not and community consensus has been favorable. So now it is time to formalize our community interest by holding a vote on whether we believe we're ready to graduate. [ ] +1 Graduate NiFi from incubator [ ] +0 Indifferent to graduation status of NiFi [ ] -1 Reject graduation of Kafka from Incubator because... The vote will run for 72 hours (3PM EST June 11 2015). If the community votes in favor of graduation it will be forwarded to the IPMC for a discussion and follow-on vote. Regardless of the outcome of this vote at this time very little changes for us. We still have to keep building community, continue to demonstrate the Apache Way, and deliver quality and useful software. The current draft resolution for graduation is copied below.
