Hi, Following the discussion in Apache RocketMQ PPMC on graduating Apache RocketMQ from incubation to a Top Level Project, starting this voting thread within the RocketMQ community.
Apache RocketMQ entered into incubation during Nov. 2016. Since then, we announced two incubating versions(pass to release on RC5 and RC1), established user email list(not only dev and private list), attended ApacheCon 2017, and organized two global hackathon and one community meetup. By today, more than 100 companies including Tencent, Didi and China Telecom (All net worth over $10 billion) are using the Apache RocketMQ. Moreover, To serve the community better, we created and maintained two repositories, one as our kernel version and the other one is for community contributions. In the community repository, the community contributed some integrated projects with some other Apache TLPs like Apache Storm, Apache Ignite, Apache Spark, Apache Flume, Apache Beam(in progress). The community contributed projects are even merged into the main repository of Apache Storm and Apache Ignite. Moreover, the community also developed data connections with MySQL, Docker and JMS to allow easy data migration between Apache RocketMQ and mainstream data platforms/standards. Last but not least, the community is also developing multi-language support version, such as go and C++. According to our data, more than 80% of the contributions doesn’t come from the donator Alibaba Group. . Please vote on the resolution: [ ] +1 Graduate Apache RocketMQ from the Incubator. [ ] +0 No opinion [ ] -1 Don't graduate Apache RocketMQ from the Incubator (please provide the reason) This VOTE will be opened for the next 72 hours. We’d appreciate any feedback you can provide at this stage to help ensure the project has all bases covered to become a successful Apache TLP. Thank you for your attention. Best Regards, Von Gosling
