This is a call to graduate the Apache Crunch podling from Apache Incubator.
Apache Crunch entered the Incubator in May of 2012. We have made significant progress with the project since moving over to Apache. We have ten committers listed on our status page at [1] including three accepted after the podling was formed, and we have verified that Apache Crunch is a suitable name. [2] We completed two releases (Apache Crunch 0.3.0-incubating and Apache Crunch 0.4.0-incubating) and are currently preparing for a third. The community of Apache Crunch is active, healthy, and growing and has demonstrated the ability to self-govern using accepted Apache practices. The Apache Crunch community voted overwhelmingly to graduate [3], collecting three binding votes from our mentors and IPMC members Arun Murthy, Tom White, and Patrick Hunt. You can view the discussion at [4] and [5]. Our charter is below and on our wiki. [6] Please cast your votes: [ ] +1 Graduate Apache Crunch from Apache Incubator [ ] +0 Indifferent to graduation status of Apache Crunch [ ] -1 Reject graduation of Apache Crunch from Apache Incubator because... We'll run the vote for at least 72 hours (closing at the earliest at 8PM GMT on February 7th.)
