Hi... It has been discussed, since a while, about the graduation of Apache BVal, whether to graduate to a TLP or Subproject and whether it is time or not, [1], [2] and [3]. In the past few weeks there has been a [VOTE], [4], which formally discussed the graduation to a TLP project. Result announcement can be found here, [5]. It also has been decided to name the project Apache BVal [6]. The resolution charter content has been discussed and reviewed here [7].
The Apache Bean Validation community sees it is time to request an IPMC [VOTE] on recommending this resolution [8] to the ASF board. Accordingly, would you please cast your vote: [ ] +1 to recommend Bean Validation's graduation [ ] 0 don't care [ ] -1 no, don't recommend yet, (because...) The vote will be open for 72 hours.
