Hi all, especially mentors, Looks like we'll be completing our top level vote mail tomorrow on the PPMC, then since (unknowingly) I didn't include the resolution, we'll need another vote in the PPMC on that, and then we'll take it to the IPMC for voting. All of the above could be done by the end of next week -- especially since the 4 votes of our mentors (Ate, Mark, Bertrand, and Daniel) carry through into the IPMC vote, so unless someone pops up with a strong -1, we should be done by the end of next week. Would that then mean that we are at that moment a top level project -- the reason I'm asking is that we're working now on releasing Apache NetBeans 11, getting close now to a PPMC vote during the next week I imagine -- so, would Apache NetBeans 11 need to be voted on in the IPMC if the IPMC has already voted to make Apache NetBeans a top level project? And the reason for that question is that our vote process will be sped up significantly if we do not need to do the IPMC vote. That in turn changes our release date.
It doesn't work that way. The whole process is clearly described at: https://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html A positive IPMC vote for graduating a podling to a new top level project means that the Incubator project will thereafter *recommend* the graduation to TPL to the board in the next board meeting. It is a formal act of the board, and the board only, to create new TPLs. Normally this goes through smoothly, and I don't expect this will be different for NetBeans, but going TPL will take a little bit more time. At least until the next board meeting, after the IPMC graduation vote. HTH, Ate
Thanks, Gj
