Hi all, Apache SDAP joined Incubator in October 2017. In the time since, we've made significant progress towards maturing our community and our project and adopting the Apache Way.
After community discussion [1][2][3], the community has voted [4] that we would like to proceed with graduation [5]. We now call upon the Incubator PMC to review and discuss our progress and would appreciate any and all feedback towards graduation. Below are some facts and project highlights from the incubation phase as well as the draft resolution: - Our community consists of 21 committers, with 2 being mentors and the remaining 19 serving as our PPMC - Several pending and planned invites to bring on new committers and/or PPMC members from additional organizations - Completed 2 releases with 2 release managers - with a 3rd release run by a 3rd release manager in progress - Our software is currently being utilized by organizations such as NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research, Florida State University, and George Mason University in support of projects such as the NASA Sea Level Change Portal, Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project, GRACE/GRACE-FO, Cloud-based Data Match-Up Service, Integrated Digital Earth Analysis System (IDEAS), and many others. - Opened 400+ PRs across 3 main code repositories, 350+ of which are merged or closed (some are pending our next release) - Maturity model self assessment [6] We have resolved all branding issues we are aware of: logo, GitHub, Website, etc We’d like to also extend a sincere thank you to our mentors, current and former for their invaluable insight and assistance with getting us to this point. Thank you, Julian, Jörn, Trevor, Lewis, Suneel, and Raphael! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Establish the Apache SDAP Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems.
