Thanks Luciano for your guidance to get this project into state what it is
now.Your guidance helped project to get more contribution through increased
healthy discussion on mailing list, increased contributors and commuters, more
liras, commits and more releases over 16 months.
I believe Apache SystemML is ready for graduation from incubating state. Lets
go for it.

Thank you Luciano for starting this discussion and the guidance you've
provided on this project.
In addition to the aforementioned accomplishments of the project, the
roadmap (which has been on the mailing list) also directs us towards making
continued healthy progress.
