Hi Folks, Based on prior positive discussions:
http://s.apache.org/W1C http://s.apache.org/dw4 http://s.apache.org/xN I'm now going to call for a community VOTE (before heading to the Incubator to make it official) for Any23 to graduate from the Incubator. VOTEs are open to Any23 and Tika community members and I'll leave the VOTE open for at least the next 72 hours before heading to the Incubator to formalize it. [ ] +1 Graduate Any23 from the Apache Incubator. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't graduate Any23 from the Apache Incubator because... The Any23 draft board resolution is pasted for your consideration below. Thank you! Cheers, Chris Mattmann Any23 Champion P.S. Here's my +1! ----- X.
