RE: [PROPOSAL] MetaModel join the Apache Incubator

[sameer arora]

Hi,

I have been working on Metamodel as a developer for the last 1.5
years.We are also working on adding Hbase support to Metamodel to
cater the needs of today.

It would be great to see Metamodel accepted at Apache Incubator,
surely the efforts from us would gain some momentum.

[VOTE] Graduate Apache Bloodhound from Incubator

[Gary Martin]

Hi,

Following the community graduation vote result announcement on the 
bloodhound-dev@i.a.o mailing list [1] and the conclusion of the podling 
name search [2], I would like to invite Apache Incubator to vote on 
recommending Apache Bloodhound for graduation.


Please vote:
[ ] +1 Graduate Apache Bloodhound podling from Apache Incubator
[ ] +0 Indifferent to the graduation status of Apache Bloodhound podling
[ ] -1 Reject graduation of Apache Bloodhound podling from Apache 
Incubator because ...


The vote will run for at least 72 hours. The proposed graduation 
resolution is below.


Cheers,
Gary
