[DISCUSS] Graduation of Flink from the Incubator

[Kostas Tzoumas <kt...@apache.org>]

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a discussion that we have been having on the PPMC
list.

Flink has successfully made two Apache releases and added 5 committers
since entering the Incubator. The community is openly discussing in the
mailing lists, and new contributors and users are coming to the project at
a very good rate.

I feel that this is the right time for Flink to graduate from the Incubator
and become a top-level project (TLP).

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation of Flink from the Incubator

[Robert Metzger <rm...@apache.org>]

Kostas said in his first mail that we made two successful releases so far.
Actually, we had 3 releases in the incubator (0.6, 0.6.1, 0.7.0). A bug fix
release is not a big effort for the community code-wise, but we did the
whole voting/compliance check three times so far ;)

I'm subscribed to a few other Apache mailing lists (both incubating and
TLP) and I have the impression that Flink is a very active and healthy
project.
Compared to when we entered the incubator, new users are showing up very
frequently.

So if the mentors agree that Flink is ready to graduate, I'm more than
happy (actually super excited) to do it ;)

IMHO, the main purpose of the incubator is to show that the project
adheres to the Apache Way and is able to grow its community. I think
Flink has proven both, so I concur that the project is ready to graduate.

Best,
Sebastian

Hi!

I feel very excited about this idea. From what I can see, the community has
acted very mature. Releases and community growth are happening as well. The
community is diversifying and the project's life and death no longer hinges
on single individuals.

I agree with Kostas.
Let's go for the graduation!

As I mentioned on the other thread, yes it seems like this is a good time. +1

Thanks to Kostas for bringing the discussions to the community and I
believe Apache Flink is ready for graduation as top level project.

There are more and great things the community want to do, and I
believe being ASF top level project (TLP) will better position Flink
to grow the community.

The Apache Flink has had several good releases, several good reports,
and had invited new committers/PPMCs that demonstrates the community
understands how to operate in Apache way.

The most important thing is that the community has a lot of passion
and desire to continue journey as ASF top level project.

+1.  Some quotes from my email to the PPMC on this topic:

The project has successfully made two [I stand corrected, three] Apache 
releases and added new committers.  The community seems to be good at 
welcoming new contributors, based on the interactions on the mailing 
lists.  The core team members seem to have quickly picked up the need to 
make the mailing lists the medium of discussion and collaboration.

I asked myself if there was any benefit to the community in staying in 
incubation longer, and I could not think of any.

Alan.
