In this period of time, we had extended our community with 2 new committers, had a release, resolved 300 issues. We have made some significant code improvements including pipeline redesign, addition of streaming and limit functionality, grunt shell improvements and significant performance speedup. We have a constant traffic and lively discussions on both pig-dev and pig-user mailing lists and we conduct our business in the open by publishing proposals and discussing them in the mailing lists. As of now, we have completed graduation requirements as described in http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html. I would like to call for a graduation vote at this time. I would also propose that we graduate as a subproject of Hadoop. There are several advantages to this approach. First, this would allow us to extend both our user and developer base. Second, it would bring benefits to the Hadoop community by providing a higher level interface and easier entry point for new users. Third, having an established project to provide guidance, would help Pig to become a mature participant in the open source community. Please, vote by the end of the day on Thursday, 10/9. Thanks, Olga PS: I am ccing hadoop and incubator general mailing lists; however, no action is required from them at this time. This step is for Pig community only. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
