Re: Looking for a Champion / Mentors for ResilientDB Blockchain Platform

[Mo Sadoghi]

Dear Atri,

Currently, we created our proposal

based on the provided template for New Podling Proposal
.
Should I be sending an email to general@incubator.apache.org with the
subject line "[DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal for ResilientDB" or this email
needs to be sent by an ASF member?

Getting on a call would be great to formally meet our Apache
champion/mentors. I have availability on both Thursday and Friday this week
(and next week except on Monday).

Re: Looking for a Champion / Mentors for ResilientDB Blockchain Platform

[Atri Sharma]

You should create a formal thread for the proposal and follow the process
for review.  Once done, we can then take it to vote.

We can get onto a call and discuss if that helps.

[Mo Sadoghi]

Dear Atri, Junping, Calvin, Kevin, Roman, Anh, David,

Hope everyone is safe and well.

We would like to know what is our next step, and what the would be the
expected timeline to be officially accepted into the Apache Incubation
program. We are very excited about this opportunity, and we are fully
committed to expediting this process as much as possible on our end,
especially if we can complete our tasks before the start of the Fall
quarter by September 30. Needless to say, we will be fully committed
thereafter as well.

*Roman*, Thank you so much. Wonderful to have you as a mentor.

Proposal: here
