FYI, following an active discussion, the Samza community is voting on a draft graduation resolution.
-Jakob ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jakob Homan <jgho...@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 11:55 AM Subject: [VOTE]Graduation of Apache Samza from Incubator To: d...@samza.incubator.apache.org Following the positive reception to the idea of graduation, I've drawn up the appropriate resolution. Please vote (everybody is invited and encouraged to, whether on the PPMC or not, although only PPMC votes are binding). If this passes, it'll be kicked up to the Incubator PPMC for a vote, and from there to the Board. In light of his tireless dedication to Samza, I've listed Chris as as the first VP. The role of VP is closer a secretary in reality; s/he is responsible for filing the regular board report and handling the mechanics of affecting committer/PMC additions/deletions. While not required, I'd recommend rotating this position on an annual basis, just to spread experience around. Vote will run for 72 hours (to 12/11/14, noon PST). [ ] +1 Graduate Apache Samza from the Incubator. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't graduate Apache Samza from the Incubator because ... Here's my binding vote: +1. -Jakob ---- Apache Samza graduation resolution draft WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to low-latency, distributed processing of streaming data.
