Dear Apache Incubator Community,
The InLong Project has been incubating since 2019-11-03. In the past two and a half years, the project has been renamed from TubeMQ to InLong, and expanded its scope from a message queue service to a one-stop integration framework for massive data. The InLong community has a discussion thread [1], passed the community vote [2], and the vote result is published [3]. Our assessment is that Apache InLong(Incubating) is ready to graduate as a TLP. We would like to raise the discussion to IPMC and collect more feedback towards graduation. Since incubating in ASF, the project itself has become more mature and stable. The following is a brief summary of the project and community during the incubation: - 11 versions were released by 6 different release managers, of which 5 versions are the original TubeMQ, and 6 versions are after the name was changed to InLong. The release cadence is about 2 months [4]. - 10 new Committers and 3 PPMCs were added during incubating, they are from 4 different organizations. All PPMCs and Committers are spread across 8 different organizations [5]. - 101 unique code developers [6]. - Closed more than 2200 issues, with an average of 200 issues per version [7]. - All the dependencies were reviewed and ensured they do not bring any license issues [8]. - Evaluated the InLong project and self-checked the InLong maturity model [9] and the pre-graduation Check [10]. - Well and Complete documentation for contributors and users [11]. - Created channels like Email, Slack, Twitter, WeChat, and GitHub Discussions to communicate, with more than 650 subscribers. - Actively participated in or held more than 15 meetups to increase community influence. Please see the proposed board resolution below and let us know what you think. The initial PMC members were passed by the discussion and invitation [12]. The discussion will remain open for at least 72 hours, looking forward to your feedback.
