TheHadoopZooKeeper tab for example will redirect to our new homepage.Other Apache members also pointed out to me that we are essentiallyoperating as a TLP within the Hadoop PMC. Most of the other PMC membershavelittle or no experience with ZooKeeper and this makes it difficult forthemto monitor and advise us. By moving to TLP status we'll be able to governourselves and better set our direction.I believe we are ready to become a TLP. Please respond to this email withyour thoughts and any issues.

 2010/10/14 Patrick Hunt ph...@apache.org

  In March of this year we discussed a request from the Apache Board, and
  Hadoop PMC, that we become a TLP rather than a subproject of Hadoop:
 
  Original discussion
  http://markmail.org/thread/42cobkpzlgotcbin
 
  I originally voted against this move, my primary concern being that we
 were
  not ready to move to tlp status given our small contributor base and
  limited contributor diversity. However I'd now like to revisit that
  discussion/decision. Since that time the team has been working hard to
  attract new contributors, and we've seen significant new contributions
 come
  in. There has also been feedback from board/pmc addressing many of these
  concerns (both on the list and in private). I am now less concerned about
  this issue and don't see it as a blocker for us to move to TLP status.
 
  A second concern was that by becoming a TLP the project would lose it's
  connection with Hadoop, a big source of new users for us. I've been
 assured
  (and you can see with the other projects that have moved to tlp status;
  pig/hive/hbase/etc...) that this connection will be maintained. The
 Hadoop
  ZooKeeper tab for example will redirect to our new homepage.
 
  Other Apache members also pointed out to me that we are essentially
  operating as a TLP within the Hadoop PMC. Most of the other PMC members
  have
  little or no experience with ZooKeeper and this makes it difficult for
 them
  to monitor and advise us. By moving to TLP status we'll be able to govern
  ourselves and better set our direction.
 
  I believe we are ready to become a TLP. Please respond to this email with
  your thoughts and any issues. I will call a vote in a few days, once
  discussion settles.
 
  Regards,
 
  Patrick

Good to see we are in agreement on this. Thanks everyone who voted. Looks
like this is unanimous at this point. I will
start the proceedings in the Hadoop PMC to make ZooKeeper a TLP.
