Hi Rob;

I'd like to start the graduation process, with the aim of being a TLP
in time for the 3.4.1 release.
The IPMC has a "Guide to Successful Graduation" page with a lot of
detail and advice: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html
The calendar here is especially useful:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#toplevel
It shows 4 steps:
1) a vote on ooo-dev (a community vote) on whether we want to graduate now
2) a discussion on ooo-dev leading to the draft of a charter for the new
TLP
3) an IPMC vote on whether or not to recommend the podling for graduation
4) a vote by the ASF Board on a resolution creating the new TLP
This thread is just a proposal. It is not the actual vote called for
in #1 above. But I'd like to gauge current sentiment. Are we all +1
for going ahead? If not, please list what pre-graduation tasks you
believe need to be done first.
Thanks!

A reminder of a small, but IMHO significant, technical issue:
We do have to take the category-B tarballs out of the tree
before graduation.
Do we? If I recall, there were multiple views on this and no
consensus. But you are welcome to make a concrete proposal.
Yes the situation was specifically postponed as a graduation
issue, I am not going through that discussion again.
I made a concrete proposal with two alternatives:
- They are moved to a friendly ftp/http site.
- I step down from the PPMC to avoid the community
the pain of a -1 vote.
Please do not do the second - I know that someone was putting forward
the idea that a -1 vote on the first RC was enough to disqualify that
person from serving on the PMC but that was something that I can't
believe people in general would agree with.
A citation, please?
Juergen talking about the fellow that didn't think a trranslation
(Finish I think it was) was up to date - if you want me to search the
archive I will but it is there.
it was indeed a misunderstanding and I indeed didn't understand the
voting of -1 at this time. But putting it in this context is really not
correct. I welcome everybody in the PMC. In this special case I tried to
highlight that the common project goal should be higher rated than
personal ones. But probably I wasn't able to find the correct words to
explain it ;-)
