I would include all mentors as the resolution won'tlikely pass unless there are some senior ASF peeps on it. I would at least leave Patrick(the project's Champion), and also consider adding Nige since he was abig supporter of the project. At the ASF, merit doesn't expire, and if they've contributed ever, they arestrong members of the community whether they are actively contributingor not. Lifehappens, so it's understandable peeps may drift from direct activityfrom time to time.So, net effect, I'd add Patrick and Nige to the resolution. That beingsaid...(and you're going to say, hey, what the heck, he just got off his soap box about being extra inclusive,and...) I've got enough projects on my plate and am super happy with theway thatthe MRUnit community has grown and I've felt I've helped in my mentorrole to dateand been useful *but*, I'd humbly request that you don't include me inthe resolution.Great job and I wish you guys the best.

As Chris suggested below I amalso +1 on making Brock VP. I started the initial PMC listwith the current 3 active committers, I wasnt sure who of the mentorsand previous Hadoop committers want to also be part of the PMC.The proposal is just the canned one from [2] except I replaced MRUnitfor ${Project} and put in Brock for VP along with the PMC members.I guess besides the initial PMC list the only part to think about isthe ${DESCRIPTION-AND-SCOPE} which I set to be: unit testing Apache Hadoop map reduce jobs .

What are the next steps afterthat?There has been a large uptick in interest in the project over thelastmonth or so and I think graduation would only help to continuethis.I agree. I think website branding and improvement is something that's pretty important,especially considering some of the recent discussions around Thriftwhich graduatedfrom the Incubator a while ago, but hadn't really done a lot of workto reflect brandingon its website. I think we need to spruce it up. It's not a blocker,but it's a "good thing" to do IMHO.Over the last month or so we have gotten 2 useful patches from 2 independent contributors in MRUNIT-68 and MRUNIT-91, several newYep I think we're pretty much there. To really start the discussion,JIRA'sadded from 3 independent reporters in MRUNIT-91, 88, 70, and atutorial on our wiki from another independent contributor.I'd recommendchecking out some existing TLPs which recently graduate, and theirgraduation resolution, e.g., here's some discussion around Lucy's: http://s.apache.org/o2 Besides the resolution, we'd need to:1. Hold a community VOTE on lucy-dev@ (I'd recommend drafting theresolution there first).2. Hold a VOTE on general@incubator with the IPMC (they are the onesmaking the recommendation to the board) 3. Add the resolution to the board agenda for its next meeting, which would be sometime in April.A precursor to #1 is deciding who would be the most likely candidatefor MRUnit VP. Ithink Brock would make a good VP for the project, based on the workand effort he'sput in so far, and his willingness to be part of the Apache processand to help prepare the existing reports.That being said, it would be great to target the April or May boardmeeting for graduation, but I think that's plenty of time to at least build a minimal website for the MRUnit projectthat complies with Apache branding requirements. It doesn't have tobe flashy, but should at least comply with branding. My 2c.
