I want to clarify that graduation is a somewhat gradual process, and the early parts are not much work. You create a resolution for the board that would establish your project. You conduct a community vote. We conduct an IPMC vote. At the next board meeting, which could then be as much as 30 days later, the board (hopefully) adopts the resolution.
*Then* you have actual work to do to move your code and web site and such. On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Troy Howard <thowar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd say we're ready for graduation.
