The Geronimo project has been in Incubation for almost 10 months.  In
those 10 months, the Geronimo project has developed a community,
developed a new codebase in an open and collaborative fashion,
weathered problems both internal and external, formed a functioning
group of committers to manage the day to day affairs of the project
(the PPMC), demonstrated collaboration with other OSS groups in the
enterprise software domain, and produced a milestone release of
software.
Therefore, I believe the Geronimo project has satisfied the
requirements of the Apache Incubation process, namely :
 o  does collaborative development according to the ASF's
    philosophy and guidelines
 o  has a codebase that is properly licensed, has clear
    provenance, and conforms to the ASF's legal requirements
    for contributions
Furthermore, I believe that the Incubator PMC, on behalf of the
Geronimo PPMC and the entire Geronimo community, should recommend to
the Apache Board of Directors to make the Geronimo project a top-level
Apache project.
If this pleases the chair of the Incubator PMC, I request that members
of the Geronimo PPMC (which is the Incubator PMC and the Geronimo
committers) please vote :
[ ] +1 - The Geronimo project has met the requirements
         for incubation and will be recommended to the
         board for TLP status
[ ] -1 - The Geronimo project as not met the requirements
         for incubation
This vote will run ~72 hours, closing at 23:59 EDT, Sunday May 23, 2004.
