Excellent. Over the last week there's been unanimous support for graduation, so let's look at the next steps: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html
Specifically, the community needs to VOTE on a resolution to become a TLP: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board/templates/podling-tlp-resolution.txt The resolution needs to name a Chair/VP for the project. The project chair has no greater authority than other members of the PMC; it's largely an administrative role, serving as an interface between the project and the board. In practice, this requires filing board reports, creating accounts, that sort of thing. For simplicity, whoever the PPMC selects as VP can fill out the TLP resolution (mind the guidance [1]) and start the VOTE thread. [2] Any other questions about graduation? Any nominations for chair? -C [1] http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#toplevel [2] When the vote starts, don't forget to send a notice to general@incubator, so the IPMC is aware that a graduation vote is in progress.
