RE: [mat-dev] MAT Status Update and Next Steps

Hi Wayne,

We are aware of this, sorry for not making it explicitly clear in my mail.
I will submit our IP log next week and once it is processed I will aks for a review to be scheduled (whenever this is). Meanwhile I'm preparing the necessary docuware as described in the Wiki pages.

Only if the graduation review is successful we will go for a release.

Thanks for the clarification!

Regards,
Krum

You need to do a release/graduation review prior to making a 1.0 release 
available.
