Grant, what are the next steps here? Karl -----Original Message----- From: Wright Karl (Nokia-MS/Cambridge) Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 5:53 PM To: connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: Project status and name
I don't think the name change is tied at all to the incubation status. Are we ready to call a vote? After much consideration, +1 for ACF.

Presumably the nominal name change is contingent on its project status as no longer incubating under Lucene? -- Jack Krupansky -------------------------------------------------- From: "Grant Ingersoll" <gsing...@apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 5:19 PM To: <connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org> Subject: Re: Project status and name > I'd leave it open for another day or two. > > -Grant > > On Aug 10, 2010, at 2:16 PM, <karl.wri...@nokia.com> > <karl.wri...@nokia.com> wrote: > >> Shall we call a vote on the name change?
