Hi all, The Apache NetBeans podling community brings the resolution, after discussion[1], to become a top level Apache project up for the IPMC vote. The PPMC community vote[2] resulted in 64 +1 votes and no 0 or -1 votes, further details about the project and what has been done is found in the related discussion thread[1].
We have had a long and eventful incubation period and are looking forward to graduating and continuing our development and community work with and around Apache NetBeans. The vote is open for 72 hours, assuming that at that stage there are at least 3 +1 votes and nothing left open for discussion. Thanks, Geertjan on behalf of Apache NetBeans PPMC 1. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/648834cdb10ce55aff2c6c8dd3c32454a74711c6289f385e456b74d8@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E 2. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/72e59c722580fef2cbaa637735691a549756aeaa72c4cbf52265fbe0@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E --------------------- Establish the Apache NetBeans Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to providing a development environment, tooling platform, and application framework.
