Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation

Hi Roman,

Many thanks for your excellent mentorship!

Your #2 and #3 proposals sound good to me and I look forward to the
discussion on private@.

Ya, time for MADlib to fly the incubator!

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation

Posted by Frank McQuillan <fm...@pivotal.io>.
Thanks Roman.

I agree that this project is in the correct state to qualify as a TLP,
and would like to help move that forward.

In addition to the
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Graduation+Resolution
that you mention, we also created a check list
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/ASF+Maturity+Evaluation
which aims to describe where the project stands according the the Apache
project maturity model.

I would encourage members of the Apache MADlib community to take a look
at the check list and comment on any of the items there.

The project mgmt part of the wiki
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Project+Management
also gives a pretty good snapshot of the project as it stands today.

Frank
