In addition, the project has sucessfully added new committers, has developed the existing code, merged in added new codebases from outside. All of this has been done following "The Apache Way". The project status page shows everything as ready too. So, I think the community is now ready to strike out on it's own as a top level project! (The new project also needs a PMC chair, and I'll kick off the discussions on that on the private list shortly) So, voting please: +1 - Graduate the Chemistry podling to TLP +0 - I've no opinion on graduation -1 - No to graduation just yet, because... Voting will be open until the end of Friday, so you've all a little over 72 hours! The proposed board resolution is below too.
