Hello,
This is Trista, one of the AGE mentors from July this year. I didn't join this community from day one but like to share something about it. After joining, Andrew, one committer of the community, contacted me that they wanted to have a meeting with me to talk about the community's developing and goals. So, I gave them many inputs and suggestions. I have to say they really listened to my voice and made many efforts in this community. From the news [1], we can learn this community has a quick grow-up from August this year. More new committers joined, more releases launched. Here, thanks to the help from Craig, Justin, and Willem since I could see their guiding in private@age ml and this ml. They looked lost at our first meeting, but I could see progress and willingness to create an active community these days. Also, they really took their actions. As one of their mentors, at least I could look at their feedback on my opinions, and they became familiar with the release process, knew the importance of people involved in the community. However, the subproject is a surprising issue, so I'd like to listen to other IPMCs voices about it. Furthermore, thanks to IPMCs suggestions to AGE. @PPMC of AGE, please have closed eyes on them, some of which need to be settled down from my view.

If the contributor has some expertise that’s good. Remember you want this project to survive for a long time. If you set it too high then people will lose interest. First of all, I didn't know non-code contributors can also become a committer. :) I believe AGE would not have come this far had it not been for non-code contributors, especially users. Graph technologies are still relatively new from a developer perspective even though there are many hypes around for data insights and AI. But I see many graph enthusiasts? in the community really wanting to help others experience the benefit of graph.
