Hi guys, So it seems that everybody agrees it's time to get ready for graduation. There's a nice guide that details the whole process here:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html The trickiest part is to prepare a resolution for the board to adopt. Ultimately, that's what we will vote on, what the incubator PMC will vote on and what the board adopts. And the trickiest parts in the resolution itself are: - The target: Top Level Project or subproject of another TLP. For buildr I think it would be TLP but if someone things otherwise it's a good time to mention it. - The charter: this should define the scope of the project. It should be short, sweet and non ambiguous but sufficiently large in scope to cover further expansion of the project. So getting the proper wording can be tough. There are example here [1] and if you want more I can point you to others. - The project chair: I'll send another e-mail about that. - The future PMC: actually that's the easiest, it's usually the same composition as the PPMC. So at this point, it would be nice if someone drafted a first charter paragraph so we can increment from it. The rest of the resolution can easily be created using the charter and a few names. Thanks, Matthieu
