The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache™ Storm™ as a Top-Level Project
From the post:
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 200 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today that Apache™ Storm™ has graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a Top-Level Project (TLP), signifying that the project’s community and products have been well-governed under the ASF’s meritocratic process and principles.
“Apache Storm’s graduation is not only an indication of its maturity as a technology, but also of the robust, active community that develops and supports it,” said P. Taylor Goetz, Vice President of Apache Storm. “Storm’s vibrant community ensures that Storm will continue to evolve to meet the demands of real-time stream processing and computation use cases.”
Apache Storm is a high-performance, easy-to-implement distributed real-time computation framework for processing fast, large streams of data, adding reliable data processing capabilities to Apache Hadoop. Using Storm, a Hadoop cluster can efficiently process a full range of workloads, from real-time to interactive to batch.
…As with all Apache products, Apache Storm software is released under the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of active contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the Project’s day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases.

You will see many notices of Apache™ Storm™’s graduation to a Top-Level Project. Odds are you have already seen one. But, like the weather channel reporting rain at your location, someone may have missed the news. 😉
