[GitHub] [incubator-mxnet] josephevans opened a new issue, #20984: [RFC] Graduate MXNet from Apache Incubator

josephevans opened a new issue, #20984:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/20984

   Hello MXNet Community,
   
   I'd like to start the discussion of graduating MXNet from an Apache Incubating project to a top-level ASF project. 
   
   MXNet has been an incubating project since January 23rd, 2017 [1]. Since then, the project has had 24 releases under the ASF Incubator (0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.12.1, 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.9.0, and 7 alpha/beta releases of 2.0.) There is a thriving community of developers and users from all over the world that regularly contribute to the project.
   
   I’m asking the community and mentors for feedback or suggestions on how to move this forward. Based on the graduation guidelines [2], the next step for graduation is having a community vote. Should we have a community (dev@) vote in a few weeks?
   
   One thing I also noticed is the project status page [1] may be a little out-of-date (the committers and incubation status reports are not up-to-date), would one of our PPMCs like to take on updating this?

   Just to update everyone on the progress:
   
   - Updated mentors, PPMC members and committers on our [status page](https://incubator.apache.org/projects/mxnet.html)
   - Identified some issues with formatting of status page source file that prevented the dev and commits mailing list from being recognized by [apache clutch tool](https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/) (status is now green for these columns.)
   - Created a [PR](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/20993) to address errata listed on [clutch project status page](https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/mxnet.html)
   - Updated the [Apache Maturity Model Assessment for MXNet](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Apache+Maturity+Model+Assessment+for+MXNet) to reflect resolution of the last remaining open item (having a clear [security](https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/api/faq/security) reporting page and process.)

   I definitely think it's a good opportunity to see if have missed recognizing committers that should have been promoted to PPMC. But my understanding is that a graduation is usually not combined with converting committers to PMCs. 
   
   Rather, it seems like TLD projects aim to having a healthy mix of PMCs and committers.

   Hi everyone. It's been awhile since the graduation [discussion thread](https://lists.apache.org/thread/3rxzjcmo2y457y6r8ohz1j4qv49joyo6) on general@incubator has been started and there has been very little traffic supporting the effort. Could the MXNet community please help promote graduation by replying to the thread?

   Since we are moving towards the graduation. I would also want to check with everyone if we would like to prmote all of our committers to PMC as we graduate. 
   
   Most of the Apache MXNet contriubutors has significant code contribution as well as support on the community. They fixed our issues and maintain the docs to ensure the day2day running of our framework.
