Hi everyone, The Whirr podling joined the incubator in May 2010. Since then it has made 5 releases following Apache guidelines, added 4 new committers, and added 3 new PPMC members. The community is healthy and growing, and we've shown an ability to self-govern using accepted Apache practices.
The Whirr podling has now voted to graduate: Vote: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-whirr-dev/201107.mbox/%3ccabqr8u_+mk8w_z-4vu-+9mwg+c+r4c1kmuhxa1drmulujnu...@mail.gmail.com%3E Result: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-whirr-dev/201107.mbox/%3ccabqr8u8nttkqxjerp-txnn4jljrvqyrsrqxuesjiyq2td53...@mail.gmail.com%3E The vote received 7 PPMC approvals, of which 3 were also IPMC members (Patrick Hunt, Doug Cutting, and myself). I would like to ask the IPMC to approve the graduation. [ ] +1 - I approve of the Whirr graduation [ ] +0 - I have no opinion [ ] -1 - There's an issue with graduation at this time, which is....
