Hi Folks, The decision to initiate retirement is not usually an enjoyable one. It would appear that those whose of us who have VOTE'd have made it quite clear that retirement is the right thing to do. According to whimsy however [0], we do not currently have enough PPMC VOTE's to move forward with closing this VOTE with any RESULT. Actually, not one member of the PPMC has VOTE'd yet which is pretty discouraging. At this stage I think that we should most likely consult the general@incubator list to seek consensus on how to proceed. It should be noted that it is really the Mentors who have contributed to this VOTE thread with VOTE's. I think that this speaks volumes for HTrace's ability to sustain itself as a viable podling.
The VOTE has been open for at least 72 hours with the following outcome. [4] +1 retire the HTrace podling Sean Busbey Jake Farrell Mike Drob Michael Stack [0] -1 NOT NOT retire the HTrace podling (please provide justification) I have not yet VOTE'd. I am completely aware of the fact however that this is crunch time for HTrace. I think we either need to graduate as a subproject OR draft a retirement resolution and propose that HTrace be sucked into the Attic. I personally would like to see one/more of the following taking place - HTrace PPMC to engage with the VOTE if possible - Sean Busbey/Sheng Wu/Christopher (ctubbsii)/Billie Rinaldi step up and propose a path for HTrace to graduate as a subproject of project X. I'll hang on with the VOTE for another ~72 hours and if nothing come of the above then I will most likely VOTE to retire HTrace.
