= Droids planning to move out =
Lab Droids (est. 2007-02, PI: Thorsten Scherler) is considering moving
on to the Incubator. Currently, the lab is preparing incubation,
including drafting a proposal at the Incubator Wiki and looking for a
champion and mentors. We are very excited about that, since
providing an
ecosystem for projects on the way from the first line of code until
incubation is one of the goals of the Labs project, and Droids - if
successful - would be the first lab to follow this path ultimately.
Some
discussion came up, here and on the Incubator's general list, about
the
process how to proceed with labs aiming to become a project's
subproject, instead of going TLP. According to our bylaws, going
through
the Incubator is inevitable. And the Incubator surely is the right
place
to determine how to properly deal with that.
I'm reading over the previous thread and the bylaws, and trying to get
my head around the most effective next steps for Droids.
The key messages are:
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-To-incubate-or-start-subproject-directly--(was-Re%3A-Looking-for-a%09Champion)-p19396492.html

http://labs.apache.org/bylaws.html
Assuming an existing PMC agrees they want labs code to start a
subproject, that PMC is responsible to make sure the code is kosher.
The responsibility is with the receiving PMC, *not* Labs. As far as
the Labs bylaws, can't we just change the droids status to "Completed"?
Consider the example where solr may want to add JSON parsing. The
path to include noggit in a solr release surely does not require going
through incubation!
