Hi, > 1. 3rd party branding: We've asked IBM to rephrase such mentions to comply > with ASF branding. They will correct it soon.
It’s good to hear that IBM has been asked to fix these references. However, until those materials are actually updated and publicly visible, this remains an open item. You say “soon”, but what is the expected timeframe for this? Has the PPMC looked into any other 3rd-party branding issues? As a reminder, the Apache Project Maturity Model[1] states: TB40 - The project monitors for any major misuses of their project's brand by others, and reports 15 any potential misuses to Brand Management. While it is not required to complete the maturity model, it can help find gaps like this. > 3. PPMC composition: Please check below wiki page for more information > Gluten Charter: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GLUTEN/Gluten+Badges > Gluten PPMC status: > https://lists.apache.org/thread/qhyjfgmwvo8n7sjnzor5nt1q36t9m5vw > Gluten PPMC chair voting: > https://lists.apache.org/thread/0glb7z98c911q6l71wgl64m2zy2rhcv0 The links provided discuss PMC formation and Chair selection, but they don’t list the proposed initial PMC current employers or organisational affiliation. > 4. PR backlog: The gap between opened and merged PRs is mostly due to active > triage and exploratory drafts, but also because some PRs target specific > Spark or backend versions and get closed quickly once verified. We merge > useful contributions fast and close stale or version-specific PRs promptly to > keep the queue clean. The explanation describes PR handling, but it doesn’t fully address the concern. Given the fast merge times but relatively low merge ratio in recent months, it would help to briefly explain how PR triage and prioritisation work across different contributor groups. This may be a data anomaly or unintentional, but I think the PPMC/mentors should look into this. At this point, I think it’s too early to call a graduation vote. I’d also like the project mentors to comment on readiness and share if they have any concerns.
