Hi John,thanks for your reply. Here is a brief description of the project a=
nd its current state.

Project Description
The project consists of a framework for concurrent and distributed tracing.=
 I've been working on tracing at CISCO and Facebook for the last few years,=
 and am now in the process of moving somewhere else, hence I'm interested i=
n consolidating the experience I've accumulated into a new, open source fra=
mework with clean room implementation.=20

The framework comprises of:  =20
   - a producer API to instrument distributed system with, with support for=
 all major programming languages. The API allows for pluggable sinks to tar=
get generation of traces in local files, integration with Kafka, or other e=
vent buses.in case of use of an event bus, a distributed service that consu=
mes from it and stores in a persistent storage. The service will provide su=
pport for event storage, integrating with various storage, including Apache=
 HBase   =20

   - A distributed service for batch trace analysis. This service continuou=
sly runs analysis script on traces flowing through the event bus. scripts c=
an be dynamically added by users.
   - A set of trace visualization tools.   =20


One of the goals for this framework is the ability to scale from single-hos=
t applications, where it would not require running any server, to large sca=
le distributed environment where it would allow running a fault-tolerant se=
t of services.
Process State
The framework is in its early stage of development, but one element exist t=
hat will serve as bases for one the visualization tools. MSCViewer is and o=
pen source, trace visualization and analysis tool on Github. The tool is cu=
rrently in use inside CiSCO. See https://github.com/rattias/mscviewer, and =
it's manual: https://github.com/rattias/mscviewer/blob/master/doc/manual/ms=
cviewer.pdf

What I'm looking for
At this stage I'm looking for mainly for feedback on whether a project in t=
his early stage can or should be an Apache Incubation Project, and if so ho=
w to find a champion for it. If projects have to be more mature to enter th=
e incubation stage I'll keep working on it and come back later.
Thanks,=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=

HI Roberto & Welcome!
It might be a good thing to post some information about your project, what =
it does, if theres any existing source or community point links to it.=C2=
=A0 Seeing something vibrant and functioning will definitely draw out a cha=
mpion.

Hello,this is my first email on this mailing list. I'm looking for a champi=
on to incubate a project. I wrote to a couple of people from projects which=
 have some relation, but neither replied, so I suspect I'm doing something =
wrong. At this stage I'm looking for feedback on whether there might be int=
erest, and if so whether the project should be incubated right now, or at a=
 later stage.

Any feedback on how to find somebody to discuss this with is welcome.
Thanks,
