Hi Celix community,
After a bit more then 3.5 years we'd like to graduate Celix to a top-level
project!
Over the past couple of months we have been working towards graduation, and
ticked all the open points of the graduation list on [1].
The current project status can be found on [2], I've send an updated
version earlier to day, which hasn't been uploaded/processed yet.
The Celix name has been approved by Trademarks, as can be seen on [3].
We do feel confident that Celix is ready for graduation, and have created
the resolution for this. The text can be found at the bottom of the mail.
This resolution lists the current committers as PMC members, to summarise:
* Alexander Broekhuis
* Pepijn Noltes
* Bjoern Petri
* Erik Jansman
The resolution also lists a chair, and even though I have filled in my own
name now, I think it is still open for discussion. So any feedback on this
is welcome as well!
Even though [1] doesn't list a vote on the project list I'd like to use
this thread to get the confidence of the community, so please cast your
vote:
[ ] +1 Graduate the Apache Celix podling from Apache Incubator as a TLP
[ ] +0 Indifferent to the graduation status of Apache Celix podling
[ ] -1 Reject graduation of Apache Celix podling from Apache Incubator
because ...
The vote will be open for the next 72 hours. After a successful vote I will
start the discussion (and later the vote) on the general incubator list as
well.
