It is with the support of our mentors and a community vote on our dev
list that Qpid
would like to graduate. In our last graduation vote the incubator PMC
felt that the
Qpid project should increase its diversity. Over the intervening months
Qpid has
added more independents to the project & PPMC, bringing the diversity to
7 legally
independent parties (not counting those mentors who will stay on to help
advise), with
the PPMC diversity at 5 legally independent parties (also not counting
mentors).
Qpid also continues to attract more contributors (both independents and
large corporates),
so the committer pool and diversity should continue to expand as
contributors are voted
in as committers.
Qpid has also made an additional release since the last graduation
attempt and is currently
working through close down of the next release. Qpid was accepted into
the incubator
August 2006.
Attached is the graduation resolution, Please consider your vote for our
graduation.
many thanks.
Carl.
