Good to know!  I assumed it was a long and involved process.

Graduation would take only a month or two, depending on the timing of the
discussion / vote threads and the scheduled board meeting.

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation?

[Billie Rinaldi]

Yes, the status page at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/rya.html
definitely needs to be updated. This is not giving an accurate
representation of Rya's current state. The News section should contain
information about releases and new committers (see other podling status
pages for examples) and dates should be filled in for items completed under
Incubation work items. The status reports section also is not up to date.

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation?

[Josh Elser]

/me gets out soapbox

Let's remember that incubation at the ASF is *not* about technical 
quality of the software. Incubation is about understanding the way that 
projects are operated at the ASF. This means that the key areas are:


* A diverse community of folks working on a project (not just one 
company, group, etc) to prevent the project from immediately dying if 
that group stops contributing.
* The ability to make valid Apache releases (licensing/copyright 
concerns and ASF policies)
* Community members who embrace community development and the "Apache 
Way": all work and decisions done in the public, merit given to those 
deserving, etc.


The podlings handling of their last release (and licensing issues) gave 
me confidence that they are very close. There will always be a "we 
should fix $x", and that shouldn't be something that holds up graduation 
(except in extreme situations around license incompatibility).

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation?

[Adina Crainiceanu]

Thank you Josh for starting the discussion and Keith for agreeing :)

Rya had 2 releases as Apache incubator project and we are working on the
third one, each with a different release manager. We added two committers
and PPMC memebers so we are now familiar with the process. I'm not aware of
any IP issues.

I'll look at the graduation guide Josh pointed out and let's see what we
need to do. Updating the status file is on top of that list.

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation?

I agree with Josh that its good to start thinking of graduation and
try to figure out what if anything is impeding that.

Are there any outstanding intellectual property issues w/ copyright,
trademark, patents, or dependency licenses?  How is these release
process, is it documented and repeatable by multiple members of the
project?  Has the Rya PPMC gone through the process of adding a
committer?

[DISCUSS] Graduation?

[Josh Elser]

Hiya,

(Disclaimer, I have not crunched any numbers yet about diversity, 
traffic, etc)


I was thinking the other day that Rya is "old" enough that we should 
start thinking about graduation[1], and, if we don't think it's ready, 
let's set concrete/actionable goals which people can push towards to get 
the podling to graduation.
