Hi Justin and all, Thanks again for the feedback. The Fluss PPMC has carefully considered the IPMC's feedback and suggestions, discussed a revised roster, and ran a new vote on private@ [1][2], which has now passed. We have also shared the result on the dev mailing list as a follow-up announcement [3].
The proposed PMC consists of 14 members: >From existing PPMC members (7): 1. Jark Wu (Alibaba Cloud) - PMC Chair 2. Nicholas Jiang (Ant Group) 3. Mehul Batra (DigitalOcean) 4. Yunhong Zheng (Alibaba Cloud) 5. Yuxia Luo (Alibaba Cloud) 6. Giannis Polyzos (Ververica) 7. Michael Koepf (Dynatrace) >From existing committers (2): 8. Anton Borisov (Fresha) 9. Keith Lee (Confluent) >From mentors, who will continue on the PMC after graduation (5): 10. Yu Li (Alibaba Cloud) 11. Becket Qin (LinkedIn) 12. Jean-Baptiste Onofré (Dremio) 13. Jingsong Lee (Alibaba Cloud) 14. Zili Chen (ScopeDB) We would sincerely appreciate further feedback from the IPMC on the updated roster and the current graduation readiness of Apache Fluss.
