Hello everyone,
Apache StreamPipes has been incubating since 2019-11-11. Within this time, the
StreamPipes community has made great progress, has adopted the Apache way and
grown with the help from our mentors.
The StreamPipes community believes that we have met the conditions for
graduation and have discussed [1] and voted [2] for graduation with the result
at [3].
Therefore, we'd like to start the discussion and would appreciate any feedback
towards graduation!
We are happy to answer any questions - below are some facts and project
highlights from the incubation phase as well as the draft resolution.
This is also a good opportunity to say a big thank you to our mentors. I really
appreciated the prompt help at any time during incubation for the many
questions we had. Thanks a lot, Chris, Jean-Baptiste and Justin!
Cheers
Dominik
