[DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Marmotta as TLP
Hi all,
the Marmotta podling, whose goal is to provide an Open Platform for
Linked Data, entered incubation in December 2012. Since then, the
codebase has stabilized and two releases were published following ASF
policies and guidelines.
The community has grown, two new Committers have joined the development
team and more people joined the mailing lists.
The last incubator report lists Marmotta as "Ready to graduate" [1], the
Marmotta community has decided to take this step [2] and agreed on a
Graduation Resolution Draft [3] which is attached below.
Best,
Jakob
on behalf of the Marmotta community

Thanks for your good comments.
As I said in other thread, personally I found quite interesting the
incubator model, so I do enjoy joining to apply what we learned from
this side.
Cheers,

It's basically the template [1] with the variables replaced and the
paragraph about creating bylaws removed: we didn't see the need for
project specific bylaws.

* The project file at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/marmotta.html
shows everything completed.
* My personal interactions with Marmotta contributors on
general@incubator, while limited, have conveyed a very favorable
impression.
* The mission scope in the resolution looks good. (I didn't do a
line-by-line check of the whole thing.)
I look forward to voting in favor of Marmotta's graduation. I also look
forward to encountering you folks around the rest of Apache -- including, if
we're lucky, here in the Incubator.
