Druid has been in incubation for several months and has not yet produced an Apache release. There were initially some issues with IP transfer that prevented that release, but they are now solved. The release is becoming urgent, because the code is still not been released under the Apache license. Can the project please come up with a plan for that release?
I have seen the following in other incubating projects. They want their first release to be a “major” release, and then they start asking product managers to dictate the content and timing of the release, and they ask their marketing people what they could do to make it a “big splash". Don’t do that. A release is nothing more than a snapshot of whatever is on the master branch. Releases must be driven by the community. The first Apache release is always more effort than it seems. My advice is to start as soon as possible, and make its goals as limited as possible.
