Hi Guys,
OK, so I figured I'd go ahead and start this thread. It seems to me that
we've achieved that we needed to in the Incubator and are ready to take that
next step. We've VOTE'd in new committers (e.g., see [1] and [2]). We've
just finished (or are in the process of finishing) our first release [3].
We've stood up a community that includes committers and PPMC members from 5+
different organizations (NASA JPL, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, USC,
Project WBS, AOL). We've ported our code to the ASLv2 and associated license
headers. And we've made a great website [4].
I'd like to propose the following below board resolution to move OODT to TLP
status. Comments are most definitely welcome. I'll happily volunteer to be
OODT VP to the board at the present time, with the goal of taking a look at
it again in +1 years to see where we're at. We'll discuss this this for a
few days then I'd like to call a VOTE thread by the end of this week. If it
passes here in OODT-ville, I'll then move the VOTE thread to
gene...@incubator.a.o. If all goes well there, we can add the below
resolution (+ any mods) to the board's next meeting on November 17th.
