The DirectMemory community is ready to graduate and become a full TLP. We began incubation in October 2011 and have demonstrated our ability to function according to the Apache Way. We've successfully made a release. We have begun to grow the community. We didn't hold a separate formal vote - it's not a requirement - but the sense of the community is that we're ready to go[1].
Please VOTE to submit the below resolution to the board for consideration: [ ] +1 DirectMemory graduates to TLP [ ] -1 DirectMemory isn't ready, because... Vote will remain open for 72hrs...
