The Kylin community and project made significant advances during the incubating (from Nov 2014) and believes it is ready to graduate as a top-level project.
The Apache Kylin is very active. The PPMC doubled in size (added 6 committers and 2 mentors) and increased diversity in the past year. Released 3 version in the past 6 months. There were presentations about Kylin at most of the big conferences of the world (including Strata+Hadoop World London, Hadoop Summit San Jose, ApacheCon EU, Big Data Technology China, Database Technology Conference China) and some meetups (Bay Area, Beijing and one is coming in this weekend in Shanghai), and many talks around the world. The dev mailing list is growing very month, about 500+ topics per month now. The community created 1000+ JIRA tickets, many patches from contributors/committers have been merged into code base. A vote passed unanimously on the dev@ list (27 +1 votes). Please find below references to the graduation preparation artifacts: * discussion on dev list [1] * vote thread [2] * podling name search [3] * incubation status [4] * proposed resolution below We believe Apache Kylin is ready to become a top-level project and if the IPMC agree we will move to a formal vote. There are a few more items to be updated on the project status page and others during the next couple of days.
