Hi Ant, This is exactly I am having the trouble getting my head around. I am seeing this as two separate issues, one furthering the topic of pTLP with Stratos as the use case. This will be a good guinea pig project with a wealth of exiting ASF and PMC members/committers. Second quick leap into graduation, which I agree is only few steps away. Hi All, I see the project is doing very well in engaging the community, doing lot of information sharing and conducting business in mailing lists and jira. Either pTLP or graduation, the outstanding tasks I am looking forward to see the progress: getting a release right with properly formulated license and notice files (especially for convenience binaries which bundle third party dependencies) and see working progress in removing dependence on ws02 repositories. I see now a big list of dependencies are not coming from maven central but from wso2 repos this is good to avoid. Essentially the parent pom [1] should be able to point to apache parent and remove all the repos here.
