The successful vote was the one done in Incubator and simply means that the Incubator guys think OFBiz is ready for becoming an official Apache project. The resolution that is copied in the first message of this thread (that has been sent from the Incubator PMC to the Apache Software Foundation's Board yesterday) will be (hopefully) discussed and voted during the next meeting of the Apache Board (scheduled for December, 20): if the Apache Board will approve the proposed resolution then OFBiz will be officially in the Foundation. That said, it's really great to see all this interest for the OFBiz project, thanks to all of you. Jacopo Alex D.
