MADlib Graduates to Apache Top Level Project

On July 19, 2017, the ASF board established Apache MADlib as a Top Level Project, which was approved by unanimous vote of the directors present. Please see the associated press release from the ASF.

MADlib entered incubation in the fall of 2015 and made five releases as an incubating project. Along the way, the MADlib community has worked hard to ensure that the project is being developed according to the principles of the The Apache Way. We will continue to do so in the future as a TLP, to the best of our ability.

Thank you to all who have contributed to the project so far, and we look forward more innovation in machine learning in the future as a TLP!
