it does seem that way. ;-) We should see an official vote result summary on the incubator general list shortly (I think Dims will be sending that since he started the vote.) > As per Noel, Cliff and Dims's mails, we're awaiting an Apache Board > meeting for the discussion about having Beehive become a > top-level-project (TLP).

The only correction to what you wrote is that Beehive needs to provide a resolution (which includes a proposed VP) BEFORE the Board meeting -- in fact, preferably a couple days (Tuesday) before the Board meeting. The idea is that we give the Board something to vote on and hopefully approve. What this means is that the following things need to happen really soon: a) discussion and a vote on the resolution for Beehive (including a 1/2-line project scope), b) a vote to determine the proposed VP for the future Beehive TLP To have both of these things done by Tuesday (including a three-day voting period), we should probably start a) today and b) by Friday. I'd recommend that anyone who wants to nominate one of the PPMC members (including nominating one's self) as the VP does so in the next 48 hours or so. If the Board meeting is Thursday, we could probably let the VP vote run up until Wednesday and just plug a name into the resolution text (which we want to have submitted to the Board by Tuesday to allow them to review it). Hope this quickly-written email makes sense. BTW, I sent info about this process in response to a PPMC thread. I will resend that info to this -dev list (the process is not a secret ;-). All discussion and probably the resolution vote should happen on this list, but we may choose to cast VP votes on the private ppmc list.
