Hi!
with my mentor hat on, I wanted to kick off this discussion
thread on the basis of a general consensus in the MADlib
community that it is time for the project to consider a TLP
status: http://markmail.org/thread/mgjzwjjriqjrfsix
Apache MADlib entered incubation on Sept. 15, 2015. Since
that time we have made 5 releases, added 3 committers and
are actively pursuing other committers. We have extensive
user documentation, an up-to-date wiki and an informative
web page. We are a very helpful and engaged community,
ready to answer all questions and feedback via the dev and
user mailing lists. We have learned much about the Apache Way
as a result of being an incubating project, and have incorporated
the guidance that we have been given by our mentors and others.
As part of that learning process we've learned a great deal about
ASF's approach to IP and have resolved MADlib licensing concerns
stemming from its BSD licensed past LEGAL-293. While we plan
to continue to develop as a community, we do not feel that remaining
as an incubating project is a prerequisite for this development.
To inform the discussion, some project information is listed below:
