Apache Polaris graduated as Top Level Project
Hi everyone,
I am excited to share that the ASF Board has approved Apache Polaris as a
Top Level Project (TLP). This is a significant milestone for our project
and the entire community.
The PMC members for the project will include the current mentors and PPMC
members from the podling. I am honored to serve as the VP and Chair of the
Polaris project.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed during the incubation
process, including our mentors, contributors, users, committers, and PPMC
members.
As we move forward, the next steps include:
- Removing "incubating" from the project name and versions.
- Operating as a self-governed project for releases. We now require three
binding votes from PMC members and no longer need to start a new vote on
general@incubator.apache.org.
- Reporting to the Board monthly for the first three months, then moving to
a quarterly schedule. Our next board report will be due in March.
I am also currently working with the ASF M&P team on a press release to
announce this news.
I look forward to continuing our work together and growing our community.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
JB
