Hi, I'll plan on spending some time this week bringing [1] up-to-date. I know of a few changes off the top of my head. Most of it is accurate though.
Diversity has always been the issue with this particular podling. Some research needs to be done to freshly assess where we are on this. Beyond that issue though I personally feel we are ready for graduation.

Since we started incubation we have released a number of times succesfully (so we can say that we have that under our belt). Our community shows a healthy interaction on our mailing list(s) and through github (pull requests -947 closes, forks - 85, stars - 91, watch - 25, all per today) and several presentations have been made (ApacheCon/Apache BigData/other events). All in all, our reports (through the Incubator reports) to the board show a podling, where its contributors act in accordance with the ASF principles and is moving forward in a steady pace. And our contributors are working towards our next release.. So, I believe it is time that we start working towards graduation. One action we should all work at is looking at [1] and update our details (e.g. affiliation, e-mail address) to reflect a current situation. A major aspect regarding graduation is diversity. This is not as much a point with respect to committer. But it might be perceived (by Incubator voters - with binding vote - as an issue when it comes down to the proposition of the intended PMC (after graduation). - If we feel that diversity (as it is now in the PPMC, or as it will be in the future PMC) will be an issue, we should invite more from a different flock (e.g. consider report reviewers/others). - If we feel that we can successfully address IPMC concerns we, of course, have nothing to worry about. To come to an end of this posting: please share your thoughts on whether we are ready to graduate [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Contributors Best regards, Pierre Smits ORRTIZ.COM <http://www.orrtiz.com> OFBiz based solutions & services OFBiz Extensions Marketplace http://oem.ofbizci.net/oci-2/
