argh, line breaks all vanished in weird ways. Here's a better format: The Apache jclouds project entered incubation in April of 2013, and since then has shipped two releases, added a committer, and transitioned thoroughly into the Apache Way for decision-making, development process, etc. Our website[1] conforms, so far as we can tell, with Apache's standards, the existing jclouds registered trademark has been transferred to the ASF[2], we've decided on a set of project bylaws[4], and now we've held a vote[5] on a graduation resolution[6, and below] to be added to the agenda for the next ASF board meeting. The vote has passed[7] with 7 binding PPMC +1s and 4 binding mentor +1s, so on behalf of the Apache jclouds project, I'd like to request the IPMC's approval for our graduation. Thanks!
Please cast your vote: [ ] +1 Graduate the Apache jclouds podling from Apache Incubator as a TLP [ ] +0 Indifferent to the graduation status of Apache jclouds podling [ ] -1 Reject graduation of Apache jclouds podling from Apache Incubator because ...
