Drop a note to tradema...@apache.org, and cc: the private Pirk mailing
list, asking for an interpretation and approval of the information in that
JIRA.

I only say the 'private' Pirk list because trademarks@ is a private list,
and it is not appropriate to be mixing private and public lists in a
conversation.

Tim

Hi Billie,

Tim had submitted a JIRA request for the Pirk podling name search on
6.28.16:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-108

However, it is still unassigned and thus unresolved/open. What do we need
to do in order to move it along?

Re: For Review -- Draft August Podling Report

[Suneel Marthi]

+1 from me.

Given the activity on the project over the past few weeks, should we start
planning for a first Apache release (say mid-August).

Re: For Review -- Draft August Podling Report

[Billie Rinaldi]

Looks good to me. The important issues section typically contains items
from the graduation preparation list [1], and releases and community
building are the most common issues that podlings are working towards
addressing. So you're right on track there. Another good one is completing
the podling name search.
