I believe this community has worked hard within the incubator and from a
community standpoint is ready for graduation, and has been for some
time. A successful release has been made that demonstrates the
communities ability to follow ASF guidelines in that regard. There are
no outstanding unresolved issues that should block graduation.
Therefore, as a mentor for Felix, I vote +1 for graduation (with the
board resolution including myself as a PMC member)
