This is a formal voting thread for Apache TVM’s graduation. If this vote passes, the next step would be to submit the resolution below to the Incubator PMC, who would vote on sending it on to the Apache Board. Vote: [ ] +1 - Recommend graduation of Apache TVM as a TLP [ ] 0 - I don't feel strongly about it, but don't object [ ] -1 - Do not recommend graduation of Apache TVM because... The VOTE will open for at least 72 hours. This thread is mirrored to dev@, please vote by replying to this thread ------------------ The TVM project has been an Apache incubator project for nearly 1.5 year now. In the past one and half year, the community grew healthily under the Apache way. Some highlights include: - A successful developer conference that we are continuing to host this year - Great community growth, as of now, the community contains 16 PPMC members, 31 committers, from a diverse list of organizations. We are actively growing the list monthly. - Active contributions: ~ 150 PRs merged each month. The community has produced two formal apache releases. While we could also wait until more releases. We feel that the community is mature enough that we can push for graduation as it is, and continue to push for high quality releases concurrently. For reference, we also put together a maturity evaluation doc[2] under the Apache maturity model. Some additional note about the resolution below: the current PPMC will be transitioned to the PMC. We have invited all the mentors in the current PPMC who like to stay involved. ----------------- Establish the Apache TVM 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 compilation of machine learning models to run on a wide range of hardware platforms...
