I'm following the Calcite project since before it entered the Apache Incubator (when it was called Optiq) and as far as I can tell, I think it has developed very well and is ready to graduate.
It has a very active and diverse community. Most of them come from projects depending on Calcite, such as Hive, Phoenix, Drill, Kylin and Samza. Also other projects outside Apache (Cascading) are using it. I think this structure ensures that the project is not controlled by a single entity. I currently see no risk for this to happen. Releases happen frequently and with good quality, there is more than one release manager. I'm not a IPMC member, but I would recommend them to propose Calcite for graduation to the board as it is a great addition for the ASF ;) On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 8:50 AM, Mattmann, Chris A (3980) < chris.a.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov> wrote: > +1 (binding) good luck! > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. > Chief Architect > Instrument Software and Science Data Systems Section (398) > NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA > Office: 168-519, Mailstop: 168-527 > Email: chris.a.mattm...@nasa.gov > WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Adjunct Associate Professor, Computer Science Department > University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org> > Reply-To: "general@incubator.apache.org" <general@incubator.apache.org> > Date: Saturday, September 12, 2015 at 3:09 PM > To: "general@incubator.apache.org" <general@incubator.apache.org> > Subject: [DISCUSS] Graduate Calcite from the Apache Incbuator > > >The Calcite community has established consensus and held a > >successful vote with 20 +1 votes in favor of proposing > >graduation to a top-level project, including 12 votes from > >committers and 6 votes from IPMC members. > > > >Here are: the discussion on the dev list [1], vote thread > >[2] and result [3].
