+## Apache Incubator Notice
+
+Apache Spark is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
+Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of
+all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
+infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in
+a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status
+is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code,
+it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
