Hey Guys, So at first I was thinking - what is ChrisD talking about - Tez hasn't really been active/etc., and why does he think the community is ready for graduation.
Then I checked the mail archives: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-tez-dev Jun 2014 68 May 2014 62 Apr 2014 49 Mar 2014 59 Feb 2014 82 Jan 2014 52 Dec 2013 35 Nov 2013 59 Oct 2013 51 [X] Good mailing list activity, increasing from prior months Then I checked private and for additions of new people: https://mail-search.apache.org/members/private-arch/tez-private (IPMC and/or PPMC and/or ASF members only) Jun 2014 13 May 2014 34 [X] Over 7 new committers and PPMC members added (minor nit on bulk VOTE'ing, but no biggie). Looking for releases, I see 3 releases: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tez/ * tez-0.2.0-incubating/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tez/tez-0.2.0-incubat ing/> * tez-0.3.0-incubating/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tez/tez-0.3.0-incubat ing/> * tez-0.4.0-incubating/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tez/tez-0.4.0-incubat ing/> And here: https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/tez/ I see 3 releases (should probably delete everything in dist.apache.org but 0.4.0-incubating. [X] Made releases, > 1 in the incubator. Looking at the mailing list traffic, there is also good discussion and answering of user questions, etc. I think the project *IS* ready to graduate. My bad! At least I made up for it by making a convincing case for you guys to graduate ;) Great job guys. Next steps are: 1. Decide who will be VP (Hitesh?) 2. Draft up graduation resolution (search mail-archives for old ones, grab the one e.g., that I used for Spark and adapt it) 3. Wait 48-72 hours on this DISCUSS thread and see if people think we're ready. 4. Once 48-72 hours done and #2 done, and #1 done, [VOTE] thread on dev@tez.i.a.o and 48-72 hours later, if successful, then 5. [VOTE] thread on general@i.a.o CC dev@tez and IPMC VOTE on graduation 6. If successful, then should be in time for the July 2014 board meeting. Cheers!
