Selva -----Original Message----- From: Pierre Smits [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 8, 2017 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [DISCUSSION] Graduation of The (incubating) Apache Trafodion Project Hi all Soon our 900th day incubating will pass. During the past period since our start in the incubator we - the community - have established an Apache project that has shown that: - its members collaborate to create software for the public good in accordance with the Apache Way; - it can produce releases of its main product in compliance with the requirements of the Apache Software foundation; - it operates independently of any external party or parties. During the period we have seen our community grow, and any contributor willing to do more has submitted its iCLAs and completed details on the Contributor page in our WIKI [1]. Several of those contributors have accepted the invitation of the PPMC to join the our committer pool. [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Contributors At the moment the PPMC feels that our project has taken in everything it could benefit from being under the umbrella of the Apache Incubator Project. We wish to express our gratitude and respect to our Mentors (present and past) and any other Apache contributor that provided insights, viewpoints and guidance. Now the time is upon all of us to look at the road ahead and way forward. We, the PPMC, feel that our Apache Trafodion Project is ready to graduate from the incubator. A graduation process consists of following steps: 1. a internal discussion on the path forward of our incubating Apache project and the proposed draft graduation resolution; 2. vote within the incubating Apache project on the path forward (as per presented draft graduation process, when the internal discussion has come to its end); 3. if 2 has a positive outcome: a discussion thread started in [email protected] with as subject and content the intent to graduate from the incubator and the draft graduation resolution of the incubating Apache Trafodion Project; 4. If 3 has come to its end, call for a vote (within the [email protected]) on graduation of the Apache Trafodion Project with the draft graduation resolution as content; 5. If the call for the vote in the [email protected] results in a) a quorum of binding votes participating in the vote, and b) the normal majority of that quorum expresses the +1 vote, then the request to graduate (with the draft graduation resolution) will be brought before the Board of The Apache Software Foundation to have the Members of the Board to vote upon. We therefore present you our draft graduation resolution below, and invite you to share your viewpoints and ask any question relating to its content and the graduation process as per item 1 of the list of steps presented above. Please keep in mind: this draft graduation resolution will be the subject of a vote on graduation, which will be held: 1. if and when the PPMC feels that the discussion has died down and a vote will gather a normal majority of voters expressing a +1; 2. but not before the obligatory minimum period of 72 hrs has passed *Draft graduation resolution of the (incubating) Apache Trafodion Project:* Establish the Apache Trafodion Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to Apache Trafodion is a webscale SQL-on-Hadoop solution enabling transactional or operational workloads on Hadoop.
