This page is a draft page describing the Process Sub-Committee's recommendation on workable processes for BPs to graduate between states.

Blueprint Graduation Reviews

Graduation reviews move BP between the states of Proposed to Incubation to Mature to Core. 

The Akraino community elevates a BP to the next state based on a TSC vote.

In order to make the process both practicable and non subjective a number of criteria are defined that must be met to graduate for each review.

This document describe the detailed process for the PTL, sub-committees and TSC shall follow.

Incubation Review

Current BP state: Proposed

Target BP state after TSC approval: Incubation

An Incubation review is requested by a proposer from any community member.

Maturity Review

Current BP state: Incubation

Target BP state after TSC approval: Mature

The Maturity review is initiated by the PTL for the BP validation project requesting a TSC Maturity graduation review. This can occur at any time between two Akraino releases.

 The objective checks for the Mature review are defined in <link to Community Technical Document>

vCore Review

Current BP state: Mature

Target BP state after TSC approval: Core

The Core review is initiated by the PTL for the BP validation project requesting a TSC Core graduation review. This can occur at any time between two Akraino releases.

The Core review process is identical to that for Mature however the checks for the Core review differ slightly as defined in <link to Community Technical Document>
