Not really. What happens is that the project becomes fully self-
governed, without Incubator PMC oversight. An occasional ASF Board
Report is the only formal requirement. In fact once you are out of
the incubator, release procedure becomes more straightforward
(only the project PMC vote is required), as it is presumed that
all IP compliance issues were addressed and double/triple checked
while in Incubator.
And I want to know what we can do to be graduated from the
incubation ???
Roughly the procedure is this (assuming OpenEJB goes TLP):
* Incubation checklist must be complete: http://
incubator.apache.org/projects/openejb.html
* A graduation proposal in the form of a Board Resolution is
drafted to be presented for the vote, as described below.
* Graduation proposal is voted upon by the project community
internally.
* Graduation proposal is voted upon by the incubator, with only
Incubator PMC member votes being binding.
* If the vote passes, it is taken to the ASF board that meets once
a month. Once the Board accepts it, the project becomes an
official Apache project.
* After that it is a matter of renaming the mailing lists and
adjusting other infrastructure to reflect the final project
position at Apache.
Guess we need to start working on a Graduation Proposal. Andrus,
do you have the Cayenne proposal handy that we could use as a
reference?
Found the Cayenne proposal here:
Section C: http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2006/
board_minutes_2006_12_20.txt
There's also some good info here too:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation#resolution
The first thing I noticed is that it seems the "initial members"
seems to only list the PMC people. Is that basically right?
Second, do any of our Mentors wish to stay on after graduation?
Hoping for "yes", but I know Brett has already told me he's really
overcommitted. Henri? Jason?
I'll take a stab at drafting up a proposal and check it into svn or
something.
