Dear IPMC, dear Community!
The Apache Bean-Validation project provides an ALv2 licensed implementation of the JSR-303 Bean Validation Specification and would like to start a VOTE on graduating as a TLP. The podling is in the incubator since 2010 and successfully shipped 3 releases and established an active community. The internal PPMC VOTE has decided with 11 +1 (see [1]) that we would like to propose graduation as a TLP. We also went through the graduation checklist and made sure that we fulfilled all requirements. We would like to thank our Mentors and the board for their continued support and also Roman Stumm and his team for contributing this project to the ASF! We are happy to finally start the VOTE about the recommendation to the board about graduating BVAL to a TLP with the Board Resolution Report attached below. For better readability, the Resolution text is also available in our WIKI [2] Please VOTE on recommending BVAL as a TLP [+1] graduate BVAL as a TLP [+0] don't care [-1] nope, because (fill in) The VOTE is open for 72h.
