Hi All, After a discussion[1] with and vote by[2] the Hop community, we believe Apache Hop (Incubating) is ready to graduate as a TLP, and we'd like to bring it up in discussion with the IPMC.
The Hop community achievements since Hop joined the Incubator in September 2020: - close to 3200 commits by 28 contributors - 4 releases(0.60, 0.70, 0.99, 1.0) - 5 mentors, 6 PPMC members(mentors excluded) and 8 committers(mentors and PPMC members excluded) - diverse committers and PPMC, with regular contributions from at least 5 different companies/institutes - Apache Hop website[3] - dev conversations at d...@hop.apache.org - assessed ourselves against the Apache Project maturity matrix[4] and didn't find any issues. The topics that were discussed in the earlier [DISCUSS] thread[5] have been resolved: - old releases have been cleaned up - self-assessment is available[4] - Whimsy licensing issue is WiP (licensing is ok, the missing yaml file was added) - project description in the resolution was rewritten - an old pre-incubator website was removed[6] [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/reab316256de8b7d8a8e2c73dbc412ca82a3f7c17243163061f848f9c%40%3Cdev.hop.apache.org%3E [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/s8vg1nh1g707s4hhcxjtg1zdccjpjh2k [3] https://hop.incubator.apache.org/ [4] https://hop.apache.org/community/incubator/ [5] https://lists.apache.org/thread/jj46blkwrhf0l31srtzo5j5dcv7zsqz3 [6] http://52.214.20.244 Please see the proposed board resolution below and let us know what you think.
