In the four and a half years that Apache SINGA (incubating) has been a part of the Apache incubator, the community has grown, diversified, and adapted to the Apache Way. We believe that the project is ready to graduate to a TLP.
As a community, we have discussed [1] and voted [2] to graduate to a TLP, we have worked through the maturity model [3], notified the IPMC that we have the intention to graduate [4] and proposed PMC chair [5]. We filed a software grant [6] and discussed the graduation here [7]. Please take a minute to vote on whether or not the IPMC should recommend the resolution below to the Board by responding with one of the following: [ ] +1 Apache SINGA should graduate [ ] 0 No opinion [ ] -1 Apache SINGA should not graduate because... The VOTE is open for a minimum of 72 hours.
