The Apache Sqoop project entered incubator in June of 2011. Since then we have added three new committers from diverse organizations and added two new PPMC members. The codebase of our product has steadily grown and we have made two releases following the ASF policies and guidelines. Thanks to the excellent mentorship we have received through this period, we have learnt to self-govern and grow our community using accepted Apache practices. Sqoop continues to attract interest from contributors and users from all across the world.
Given these milestones, I strongly feel that Sqoop is ready to graduate from Incubator. The first step towards graduation is to vote as a community that Sqoop is ready to graduate. If the vote is successful, we will draft a board resolution proposal and call it to vote on the general Incubator list. The complete graduation process is described [1]. Please cast your votes: [ ] +1 Graduate Sqoop from Incubator [ ] +0 Indifferent to graduation status of Sqoop [ ] +1 Reject graduation of Sqoop from Incubator This vote will remain open for at least 72 hours from now.
