Dear NuttX community, As our community VOTE [1] for graduation to Top Level Project has PASSED [2], the next steps are:
(1) Draft our Charter/Resolution (2) Decide members of the initial Project Management Committee (PMC) (3) Choose the 1st Vice President of the proposed Apache NuttX PMC Please participate so we can get this done efficiently! Regarding item #1, below please find a 1st Draft Resolution for review and discussion -- this draft was generated by Whimsy (there's a button at the bottom of our podling page [3] to draft the resolution). Please read it anyway and provide feedback!!! Regarding item #2, currently the draft resolution lists all members of the Apache NuttX (Incubating) PPMC to become members of the proposed Apache NuttX PMC. If anyone feels there should be changes, please let us know. Regarding item #3, the draft resolution has [!! INSERT NAME HERE !!] where the name of the proposed Vice President should be written. We need to decide who that will be. The Vice President reports to the board 4 times each year, similarly to how we have been reporting to the Incubator PMC (IPMC), but there are no mentors who need to sign off on it. Speak up if you're interested in being the Vice President of Apache NuttX! 1st draft of our Resolution: [[[ Establish the Apache NuttX Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).
