I agree with Dave. The podling is ready for graduation. Go for it!

Hi,
Apache Olingo did join incubator in July 2013. Meantime we have
produced two releases [4] and I would say we have a healthy community.
Its time to graduate. Graduation means Olingo will went out of the
incubator and will become an official Apache top level project.
I had a look at the graduation guide [1] and come up here with a
summary and further details. Looking at Olingos status file [2] all
tasks are done and we have just to update it with latest project
changes. In the clutch report [3] Olingo is completely green and also
the name search [5] did take place.
Graduation requires a community vote, Olingo has to prepare a
charter [6], needs then a recommendation vote on the general incubator
list. The charter names a PMC with initial members and requires a
chair for the project. The resolution goes finally to the board which
will handle the graduation in their board meeting.
After graduation there are some duties for chair and the PMC and
last but not least the step out of the incubator requires some more
work [7].
Before we start a graduation process I would encourage you to
comment.
@mentors: Do you see any issues that hinder us to graduate? Your
feedback is very welcome.
I see no issues. I am very impressed with how this team has both
worked together and absorbed more developers along with an important
code donation.
Some podlings will ask one or two mentors to stay on the PMC and
others do not. This is often done for oversight, to help the podling
as transition to a TLP occurs and to make sure that the project
continues with governance that continues to follow the "Apache Way" -
particularly release policy.
Regards,
Dave
