OpenLineage has achieved Incubation status with the LFAI & Data.
At the December meeting of the LFAI & Data Foundation TAC, members voted to advance OpenLineage to the Incubation stage of their program! This required us to earn a Silver Badge from the OpenSSF, get 300+ stars on GitHub (we have over 1100), and make an in-depth presentation about the project and our community to the TAC.
What It Means
Now that we’ve cleared this hurdle, we have access to additional services from the foundation, including assistance with creative work, marketing and communication support, and event-planning assistance. Graduation from the program, which will earn us a voting seat on the TAC, is on the horizon. Stay tuned for updates on our progress with the foundation.
