From a quick scan, it looks like bmbouter made some commits in 2009 and isn't included. Which is OK. But from my experience, best to be explicit on these matters, and discuss the criteria used to determine the list. Make sure you're including documentation contributions and mailing list discussions etc. Alan said he'd follow the project to help insure a smooth graduation. So, I'd add him. You can leave me on the list, also. No. Don't change status file. Technically, that would require a vote… > > The PPMC members also need to appoint a chair for the project.

I don't think this is quite accurate. How about "VCL is > a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and > brokers remote access to compute resources."? I'll look at details of the text later… May be next week... --kevan

That sounds much better (though I believe a comma should precede 'which').

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation - Prepare Board Resolution
Andy, I believe one of the strengths of VCL is in its ability to manage software license issues and use roles to manage who has access to what. Is this something that should be included or should we save that for a later and longer description further down the page.

[DISCUSS] Graduation - Prepare Board Resolution
I have created a Confluence page which we can use to work out the board resolution: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Graduation+Board+Resolution Once we are comfortable with the resolution, one of the PPMC members will propose it on the general incubator list. The areas we need to work on are in bold. We need to define the project description and scope. I wrote this as "dynamically provisioning and brokering remote access to compute resources". Thoughts? Please check the list of initial members to make sure I didn't leave anyone out. This list includes both PPMC members and committers, correct? If we are in agreement that the list will be the committers after graduation, should the status file be changed now? The PPMC members also need to appoint a chair for the project. I would be willing to do this. Anyone else interested? Also, 2 more issues regarding the status file: The stock bullets under "Project info" should be removed. The description is currently "VCL is a management framework for building, dispensing and managing virtual machine images across a set of bare metal machines or systems with an installed virtual machine hypervisor." I don't think this is quite accurate. How about "VCL is a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and brokers remote access to compute resources."? Thanks, Andy
