+1 Given the community growth, multiple releases, continuous development since incubation (~about 2 years) and growing usage, I think Atlas is ready to get started on graduation.
Chris – thanks for nudging us to think about graduation. Thanks, Madhan On 4/26/17, 1:23 AM, "David Radley" <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Chris. I agree with Mandy - no concerns from me. I see community continuing to grow, with more and more companies showing interest. I see technical discussions occurring with different points of view from different companies being resolved very healthily; for example in the ongoing design document reviews around Jira ATLAS-1690. all the best, David. ----- Forwarded by David Radley/UK/IBM on 26/04/2017 09:13 ----- From: Mandy Chessell/UK/IBM@IBMGB To: [email protected] Date: 26/04/2017 07:29 Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Ready to graduate? Hello Chris, No concerns at all ... we have a vibrant, multi-company community that is working together to expand Atlas's capability to be THE open metadata and governance platform for data and analytics. Many other people/organizations are eager to consume the results. Moving the project out of incubation sends a strong message to our stakeholders and users that Atlas is here to stay and through that we can strengthen the community further.

Hey Atlas folk- The name search JIRA is filled in [1] (thanks Madhan!), pending approval from VP trademarks. Independent of its resolution, does the community feel it is ready to graduate? As far as I've observed, the project is more than ready to be a top-level project. Are there any concerns we should discuss before we proceed? The process, roughly: 1. Community discussion of graduation 2. [VOTE] to graduate (PPMC votes binding) 3. Cite thread in general@incubator for discussion/vote (IPMC votes binding) 4. Add a resolution to the board agenda establishing Atlas as a top-level project 5. ASF board approves the resolution at its next meeting, Atlas becomes a TLP The project will also need to pick a chair for the new PMC. We can discuss that when we post the resolution. -C [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-118 Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
