summary

An open-source industrial connector library becomes a real Apache project: PLC4X starts as an MVP reading/writing Siemens S7, grows to four supported drivers by the 0.10 release, uses Git and Apache Jenkins for CI, and relies on mailing lists plus CCLA/ICLA paperwork. Community steps include recruiting four mentors with one champion, drafting an incubator proposal, and moving code into ASF infrastructure. Activity spikes mid‑2018, the project entered incubation Dec 18 2017, then graduated April 17 2019 as the ASF's 200th TLP, and continues adding languages and protocols.
