Hi, Making a release that complies with the Apache rules and recommendations [1] is required to graduate from the Incubator.
The actual technical quality of the release is not really relevant, something labelled as alpha is perfectly fine while in the Incubator, the goal is to demonstrate that the release process is well understood. So, if you want DeviceMap to graduate soon, please step up to make such a release. I'm happy to help in my role as an incubation mentor, but the actual work to be done by a committer who takes the role of the release manager. -Bertrand [1] http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html - see the "Release Checklist" in particular
