Definitely +1 for Adam Estrada as Chair, and +1 for moving to graduate

OK guys, it's time to discuss graduation for Apache SIS. We've already made 2 releases, have been incubating for a while, we've recovered from periods of low activity, and grown to periods of high activity. There are a lot of people who care around here, and we've also added a ton of new committers and shown that we can discuss things on list, develop code in an open meritocratic fashion, and in the Apache way. I think it's time for us to graduate. Funny enough, Jukka and others in the IPMC also included us on their "ready to graduate" status in the last month's report. http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2012 So let's get on with it :) All we have to do now is to choose a chair. I'd suggest Adam Estrada based on recent activity and also just based on leadership and desire for the project to succeed :) I'm also open to other suggestions too. Beyond the chair, I'll draft a resolution in the next day or so that we can begin a community VOTE on once the discussion has died down. With Martin D.'s recent work and the forthcoming GeoTk contributions and so forth it's a really exciting time for Apache SIS!
