Hi everyone, Thank you everyone who took care of our longer incubation process. Personally, I learned a lot. Thank you all for this experience. We had our struggles, but with the help especially from Chris and JB, we managed it. The codebase is much cleaner, the community diverse, and the conversations and consensus across the committers healthy and respectful.
As a side note - I know for transparency a mailing list is necessary. But I heard from all - without any exception - that Slack is by far preferred. The problem is, as said, the public accessibility. Albeit that could be managed when we, as we plan, add the Slack link to our project page. From my personal point of view, I can’t add so much to improve the incubation; it worked flawlessly, we grew, and could always count on Chris and JB. Keep it up, open source is of utmost importance. Especially now and in the future. We need more privacy. Only code will change the world. Thank you all! —Alex > On Nov 21, 2025, at 06:22, Justin Mclean <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > With your podling now officially graduated from the Apache Incubator, your > mentorship role in this project is nearing completion. > First, thank you for your time, effort, and guidance throughout the > incubation process.
