Dear Apache Incubator Community, I am reaching out to ask whether Ubunye Engine may be a suitable candidate for future discussion within the Apache Incubator ecosystem, or whether you could point me to the most appropriate pathway.
I am Thabang Lukhetho Mashinini-Sekgoto, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Ubunye Engine is an open-source framework for portable, configuration-first data and machine-learning pipelines designed to run across local, containerised and cloud environments. My broader work includes Sekhoto Multiversity, a digital learning ecosystem, ThabangVision, and other community technology initiatives. My interest is not simply code hosting. I am looking for mentorship around sustainable open-source governance, community building, technical stewardship and long-term project growth. I would also welcome guidance on relevant Apache communities, research collaboration, infrastructure support, compute resources, grants or introductions to organisations that support open-source projects. Project: https://ubunye-ai-ecosystems.github.io/ubunye_engine/ Portfolio: https://www.tmashininisekgoto.com/work Thank you for any guidance on whether incubation or another Apache pathway would be appropriate. Kind regards, Thabang Lukhetho Mashinini-Sekgoto
