Subject: VOTE: Tomcat -> TLP
As has been discussed on this list & on tomcat-dev, the Tomcat people are interested in "moving up".
Attached please find a Resolution to this effect from the proposed new Tomcat PMC to the Board.
This is a binding procedural vote to be decided by a simple majority of those eligible and casting votes (as per http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html). All current members of the Jakarta PMC have binding votes. Since this involves creation of a new project I believe we should give people a week to vote; votes must therefore be registered by midnight Eastern time on Wednesday, 13 April 2005.
At that point we will tally the votes and, if the vote is in the affirmative, forward the Resolutions to the Board.
The question:
I vote in support of the proposal to move Tomcat to an Apache Top Level Project as
detailed in the attached Resolution.
[ ] +1 Vote in support [ ] 0 Abstain [ ] -1 Vote against
Thanks. Ian Darwin
