Sounds good to me.

All,
The Geronimo team will be working over the next week to try to become an Apache top-level project. We would like all members of the community, including all interested Incubator PMC members, to participate in this process. We plan to do the following, in parallel:
1) Have a PPMC vote for graduation of the Geronimo project from incubation and be proposed to the Apache Board as a TLP. Specifically, we are looking to see if, in the opinion of the Geronimo PPMC (which includes the Incubator PMC), that the Geronimo community :
o does collaborative development according to the ASF's philosophy and guidelines
o has a codebase that is properly licensed, has clear provenance, and conforms to the ASF's legal requirements for contributions
o should be recommended to the board as a top-level project
I propose that we initiate the vote tomorrow evening on the Geronimo PPMC list after discussing any feedback and resolving any concerns.
2) Work as a community to create a proposal for the board and a supporting charter ready by 0500 GMT, Tuesday May 25th (monday midnight my time :) in order to give the board time to add to their agenda for Wednesday, May 26th. This proposal will, upon a successful 'graduation' vote by the PPMC, be submitted to the board as the formal proposal for creation of an Apache top-level project. The proposal will be of the conventional ASF format and detail :
o The basic purpose and scope of the top-level Apache Geronimo project
o The initial PMC
o The names of one or more individuals that we recommend to be the PMC chair
The supporting charter document will be additional details about the project that were not appropriate for the board proposal. This charter will be referenced by the board proposal. I will start both the proposal and charter work tomorrow with a 'seed' for each as two separate threads on the geronimo-dev mail list.
Comments?
