Hi all, Based on previous discussions ( https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/2b4ef7c394584988cf0c99920824afaa60ee4c648d5c0069b1bf55c0@%3Cdev.predictionio.apache.org%3E and https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/1b06e510773ee1d315728e0ce25f220c9cf7d9e8ad601ec9dba4fe1d@%3Cdev.predictionio.apache.org%3E), I would like to start a formal vote on graduating PredictionIO from an Incubator podling to a top level project with the following resolution. This thread will be forwarded to the Incubator general mailing list.
Once again, Salesforce has already signed and executed an assignment agreement to assign the PredictionIO mark to ASF. The graduation process we are following is described here: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html Once this vote passes, a discussion will be started on Incubator general, followed by a vote when a consensus there would be arrived. The vote will run for at least 72 hours before closing at 9PM PST on 9/28/2017. Thank you all! Let's graduate. +1 (binding) from me. Regards, Donald ----- X.
