TinkerPop is moving to Apache (Incubator) by Marko A. Rodriguez.
From the post:
Over the last (almost) year, we have been working to get TinkerPop into a recognized software foundation — with our eyes primarily on The Apache Software Foundation. This morning, the voting was complete and TinkerPop will become an Apache Incubator project on Tuesday January 16th.
The primary intention of this move to Apache was to:
- Further guarantee vendor neutrality and vendor uptake.
- Better secure our developers and users legally.
- Grow our developer and user base.
I hope people see this as a positive and will bear with us as we go through the process of migrating our infrastructure over the month of February. Note that we will be doing our 3.0.0.M7 release on Monday (Jan 15th) with it being the last TinkerPop release. The next one (M8 or GA) will be an Apache release. Finally, note that we will be keeping this mailing list with a mirror being on Apache’s servers (that was a hard won battle :).
Take care and thank you for using of our software, The TinkerPop.
So long as Marko keeps doing cool graphics, it’s fine by me. 😉
More seriously increasing visibility can’t help but drive TinkerPop to new heights. Or for graph software, would that be to new connections?
