Thanks, Carl.
The PRC plans to release the Qpid announcement over the
news wire on Wednesday. We'll be happy to forward the
link once it's live.
Again, congratulations on becoming a TLP!
Cheers,
Sally

Thanks

Thanks, Carl.
I've made some slight adjustments to
the
draft,
which I've just forwarded to the the PRC
for
their
review. I'm attaching a Word version of
this
as a
heads-up to you, and am happy to send over
line-by-line
diffs to both you and [email protected]
once the
PRC gets
a chance to review my edits.
Please note that I'm suggesting a
slight
tweak to
your quote to read:
"On the heels of its recent
graduation,
Qpid has
also reached the completion of the major Qpid
M4
release.
We're thrilled to have our project's
growth and
maturity recognized by the Apache Software
Foundation,"
said Carl Trieloff, Chair of the Apache Qpid
Project
Management Committee (PMC) and Senior
Consulting
Software
Engineer at Red Hat. "With the promotion
to
an Apache
Top-Level Project, Qpid is recognized for
outstanding
development based on our vibrant, rapidly
expanding
community, infrastructure and for
collaborative
development."
... this was primarily to clarify
positioning,
make
the capitalization of everyone's titles
consistent
(yours were lowercase), and alleviate some of
the
words
repeated elsewhere.
Also -- and this is important -- can you
please follow
through with John O'Hara the following
suggested
correction to his quote:
John O'Hara, Chairman of the AMQP
Working
Group
and Executive Director at JPMorgan said,
"I
am
delighted that the Apache Software Foundation
has
graduated
the Qpid Project..."
(his original quote states "...has
graduated the
Qpid AMQP server...", but that's not
what
graduated, the Project did.) Thanks in
advance for
this.
Also, if we receive the go-ahead from the
PRC,
we are
aiming to release this on the wire on
Tuesday, 3
March.
I'll keep you posted.
Again, many thanks for your kind patience
:-)
Warm regards,
Sally

Wow -- this is really

*The Apache Software
Foundation
Names Qpid
a
Top-Level
Project*
/Open source
messaging
implementation
built on the
AMQP
standard promoted to
self-governed
position by
community
foundation/
*FOREST HILL, MD *--*
January x,
2009* --
The
Apache
Software Foundation
(ASF)
today
announced
the
graduation of
the Qpid project from
an
Apache
incubator
project
to a
Top-Level Project
(TLP).
With its
promotion to TLP
status,
Qpid has been
recognized
for its
maturity
and
vibrant
community, as well as
for
being
well-governed and
practicing
the Apache process
and
principles.
"On the heels of
its
recent
graduation, Qpid
has also
reached the
completion of
the
major Qpid
M4
release.
We're thrilled to
have
been
recognized
by the
Apache
Software Foundation
for
the growth
and
maturity of
the Qpid
project," said
Carl
Trieloff,
chair,
Qpid and
senior
consulting software
engineer at
Red Hat.
"With the
promotion to an
Apache
Top-Level
Project,
our
project is
recognized for
outstanding
development
based on
our rapidly
expanding community,
infrastructure and
for
collaborative
development."
John O'Hara,
Chairman
of the
AMQP
Working
Group and
Executive Director at
JPMorgan,
said
"I am
delighted
that the Apache
Software
Foundation has
graduated
the Qpid
AMQP server. AMQP is
an
open
infrastructure for
business
messaging over the
Internet.
Apache Qpid
developers have
been active
participants
in the
AMQP
Working Group
working
in partnership with
other
AMQP
solution
developers
and
end-users. The
ASF's
provision
of Qpid
as its
AMQP
implementation adds
to the
range
of AMQP
solutions
businesses can choose
from
to
improve
their
efficiency."
Apache Qpid, a
messaging
implementation
built on
the
Advanced Messaging
Queuing
Protocol (AMQP)
specification,
provides transaction
management,
queuing,
clustering,
federation, security,
management
and
multi-platform support.
Qpid was initially
proposed to the
ASF in
December
2006 by
Trieloff. The project
was
fortunate to be
started
with an
initial code donation
created by
some of
the
initial project
members. Since then,
Qpid
has and
continues to
expand its
committer base and
diversity of
organizations and
individuals
represented.
Today, it
runs
critical
systems for
many users and large
organizations
while
continuing to lead
through innovation
and
implementation.
"Since joining
AMQP.org last
year, we
have
seen how
valuable the AMQP
specification is
to the
participating
customers," said
Sam
Ramji,
Senior
Director,
Platform
Strategy, Microsoft.
"It is
great to
see the
Apache/Qpid project
maturing as
the
community
strives to
address the customer
need
for
choice and
improved
enterprise-class
messaging
interoperability."
The Qpid team
believes
that the
graduation
of the
project
is a fresh and
exciting
addition
to the
Apache
Software
Foundation, as do
many of
those
that use
the
project.
"WSO2 believes
that
Apache
Qpid is an
important
addition to
addressing the
enterprise
messaging
demands of
our customers, and we
support
connecting
both C
and Java
middleware to Apache
Qpid
for AMQP
messaging," saidPaul
Fremantle, CTO at
WSO2 and
member
of the
Apache
Qpid Project
Management Committee.
