Doh.  Yes, that has happened.  Not sure of the date when that was
done, but certainly many a month ago.

Subject: [VOTE] Graduate XMLBeans from Incubator and recommend as
top-level project 

The XMLBeans project has been actively developed in incubation for 
about 10 months.  During this time, the user and developer 
community has continued to grow stronger, both in number, 
diversity, and degree of cooperation.  In addition, the XMLBeans 
project has demonstrated an understanding and application of the 
legal and logistic measures necessary to protect and enhance the 
mission of the ASF.

Some examples of this progress can be seen in how XMLBeans has:
- worked with other members of the Apache community,
- brought on new committers, based on the merit of frequent 
contributions, 
- been responsive to the user community, 
- been careful with its handling of the Apache brand (and in fact,
helped to define an appropriate set of restrictions for incubating 
projects),
- collaboratively created two binary distributions,
- and implemented and made significant decisions through a PPMC.

Therefore, I believe the XMLBeans 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

(See the status file for the detailed list:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/site/projects/xmlbeans.cwiki
?rev=1.10&view=markup.)

Furthermore, I believe that the Incubator PMC, on behalf of the 
XMLBeans PPMC and the entire XMLBeans community, should recommend 
to the Apache Board of Directors to make the XMLBeans project a 
top-level Apache project.  

Note that the XMLBeans project was originally targeted as a 
subproject of the XML project.  However, based on the interests 
of the XML and the XMLBeans community (in support of the ASF's 
interest for proper delegation of project oversight from the 
Board to the PMCs), XMLBeans is now requesting TLP status.

I request that members of the XMLBeans PPMC (which includes the 
Incubator PMC, the XML PMC, and the XMLBeans PMC committers) 
please vote :

[ ] +1 - The XMLBeans project has met the requirements
  for incubation and will be recommended to the
  board for TLP status

[ ] -1 - The XMLBeans project as not met the requirements
  for incubation

This vote will run ~96 hours, closing at 23:59 GMT, Tuesday 
June 22, 2004 (extending to vote due to the weekend, but ending
before the upcoming Board meeting):

[VOTE] Graduate SpamAssassin from Incubator, recommend TLP

2004-06-21 Thread Sander Striker
Hi,

I'd like to call for a vote to graduate SpamAssassin from the
Incubator.

SpamAssassin started working on incubation around August last year.
Since then a lot if not all of the Incubator requirements have been
addressed; the final one this week.  Patience and persistence has been
a prominent property of the community.

The codebase is under the AL v2.0.  License grants are on file, as well
as CLAs for all significant contributions.  Two trademarks are in the
process of being assigned to the ASF:
 * SPAMASSASSIN
http://assignments.uspto.gov/assignments/q?db=tm&sno=78148991
 * POWERED BY SPAMASSASSIN
http://assignments.uspto.gov/assignments/q?db=tm&sno=78213077)

The community is active and has seen committers added to the initial
committership during the incubation period.  The community has been
collaboratively working towards a 3.0 release.  Apache style voting
has been easily adopted by the community.

SpamAssassin resources are all on apache.org infrastructure, except
for BugZilla, which is mostly due to limited available time on part
of the Infrastructure team.  SpamAssassin has been one of the pioneers
when it comes to using Subversion at the ASF.  Mailinglists are in
active use under the @apache.org domain.

Did I mention the pleasant community? ;).

[ ] +1 - The SpamAssassin project has met the requirements
 for incubation and will be recommended to the
 board for TLP status

[ ] -1 - The SpamAssassin project as not met the requirements
 for incubation

I'd like to be able to present the Board with a resolution on
wednesday, which I realise is close by.

IIRC, after XMLBeans was accepted into the incubator with the 
xml.apache.org web/mail server address, there was a decision that all
future projects accepted into incubation (not just ones destined to be 
a TLP like Geronimo) should use incubator.apache.org address, not the 
server of their sponsor project.  If this is the case, it would be 
consistent to put distributions under cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator.

+1.  We'll leave it where it is pending the conclusion of the vote
for graduation.

Since XMLBeans appears to be about to leave the Incubator, this needn't
apply to it, but as we examine Incubator policies, I'm wondering if we
should make it a policy that all distributions will go under
http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/, which is what we did with Geronimo,
and now with Lenya.
Comments?
Works for me.
As for XMLBeans, 1.03 is already under
http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/, so why move it now?  Especially since
XMLBeans will have to move stuff again within the next week or so.
