Thanks Flavio, I think that's the right choice. Not graduating should not be seen as a failure. In this precise case, I think timing was a bit short, and the TC significantly raised the bar *during* the cycle by codifying clearer and stricter graduation requirements. The discussion around graduation also revealed communication issues: late questions about Marconi's design and scope, or misunderstandings on QA requirements. Incubation is not just technical thing, it's also a social thing: it should be considered complete once you feel at home with the rest of the OpenStack integrated community (and the other way around). I hope an additional cycle of incubation will give you more time to explain, promote Marconi in the wider community, and engage more directly with the other programs. In this cycle where we constantly raised the graduation bar, I think Sahara managed to keep up against all odds because of Sergey's "presence" in horizontal programs like Infra. Let's all make the best of this additional incubation cycle to all get more comfortable with each other :) -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
