Hi Ibrahim I discussed with some users, and IMHO, the podling is mature but the community still needs to be expanded. So, IMHO, the project should move forward towards graduation (it's what I proposed on the podling report this month). Unfortunately, the activity is "low" on the mailing list, so, we should: 1. prepare some communication actions (and a new release) 2. prepare the maturity matrix to identify the gaps to graduation 3. discuss about graduation and next steps My $0.01 Regards JB On 03/08/2021 06:20, Ibrahim Sallam wrote: > Hello Bikas et al. > > I saw this thread (below) back in June but I haven't seen any update on the > issue since.
