[DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Auron as an ASF top level project

Hi everyone,

After Auron's community discussion [1] and vote egarding graduation
[2], I'd like to to expand the discussion to the general@incubator.

Auron entered incubation on August 5, 2025. During nearly one year of
incubation, the community has:
- Currently, our community comprises 22 committers (including mentors)
from more than 13 different companies, with 15 serving as PPMC
members[3].
- At present, we have 67 contributors.
- Throughout the incubation period, we have made 3 releases over 11
months, maintaining a stable cadence.
- We have had 3 different release managers to date.
- Our software is used in production by 10+ well-known entities.
- To date, we have opened 797 issues, of which 690 have been
successfully resolved.
- We have submitted a total of 1659 PRs, of which 1628 have been
merged or closed.
- Through self-assessment [4], we have met all maturity criteria as
outlined in [5].

We've resolved all branding issues which include Logo, GitHub repo,
document, website, and others [6] [7].

We believe the project has successfully established itself as a
sustainable community
governed by the Apache Way.

The proposed board resolution if/when this proceeds to a formal VOTE is
included below.

I support Auron's graduation. The project has a growing community with good
diversity. It has regular releases and expanding industry adoption.

I think it has achieved the graduation criteria.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin

Hi all,

As a mentor for the Podling, I am happy to vote +1 for graduation.

The community has demonstrated consistent activity and adherence to the Apache Way. Metrics regarding contributor rosters and PR throughput are healthy. Furthermore, I have assisted in completing necessary pre-graduation checks, including logo and website verification.

I believe the project is mature enough to graduate.

Nicholas Jiang

Hi everyone,

I will take a deeper look, but at first glance, the podling looks to
be in good shape for graduation. The maturity assessment looks solid.

Thanks everyone for your participation.
If there are no further concerns, I’ll start the formal graduation vote in
24 hours.

答复: [DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Auron as an ASF top level project

Posted by 磊 王 <wa...@gmail.com>.
Hi, Sebb

Thank you for your valuable comment and thoughtful suggestion.

I agree with your observation that listing specific examples within the mission statement may not be ideal for this formal resolution text.

The paragraph is intended to describe the general scope of the project, and a high‑level description focusing on an accelerator for big‑data engines with native vectorized execution would be more appropriate for the board resolution.

We can revise the wording to remove the concrete product examples while preserving the core positioning of the project.
