Yes it's looking pretty good now Ross. I am
still concerned about the level of commit activity
being on the low-side but I'm hoping post-release
things will pick up as the project starts to push
towards 4.0.
Do you have noticed that we are in stabilization phase? From my pov a
low commit rate is very good in such a phase and everything else would
make me nervous ;-).

The Apache OpenOffice project is still in incubation and has not yet requested
graduation to a TLP.
A release is a prerequisite to graduation. Once a release has been made
graduation is next on the agenda. Our mentors can correct me if I am wrong, but
we have likely met all of the other requirements.
Speaking as just one mentor I believe the PPMC is now functioning as a
healthy Apache PMC. Specifically:
- the diversity requirement of the project has been met (in fact this
was the case on day one)
- all discussions relating to project strategy now take place on the
public mailing lists
- the voice of the lone contributor is as loud as the voice of any
other contributor
- decisions are being taken by those who are ready, willing and able
to implement them
- the community is rewarding those who earn merit with committership
in the project
- participants are finding their natural place within the community
(this includes coders, testers, technical writers, forum admins,
translators and many more)
- the community is learning to respect and reward non-code contributions
- there is evidence of cross-project collaboration both into and out of AOO
- AOO project members are appearing in the appropriate places around
the ASF to ensure full engagement with the foundation
- mentors very rarely interject, unless specifically called upon
- community members are learning not to feed trolls
In summary, yes I think the AOO project is well on its way to
graduation. A release is a pre-requisite to graduation as that is the
point at which the ASF is able to assert that the code is fully
license compliant. Once the first release is complete I imagine
graduation will not be far behind.
I look forward to seeing AOO code allowing the further adoption of ODF
alongside other great ODF related projects.
