I'd like to see thrift capitalize on the momentum
it has seen over the past few months and move towards
graduation in October. Based on the growth I've seen
in this project recently I would now vote in favor
of thrift becoming a full Apache project.
The only pressing issue is to select a chair for the PMC
(assuming you wish to go top-level, which I'd recommend).
I'd like to suggest Bryan Duxbury as the natural choice,
but there are other possibilities as well. It's up to
you to decide.
Once a chair has been determined all that is left is to
submit a resolution to the IPMC, who will pass it along
to the board if it gains approval. You have already met
all of the IPMC graduation requirements and the thrift
dev community is growing, so I wouldn't expect any obstacles
from the IPMC.
IOW the graduation process shouldn't be viewed as something
heavyweight that will interrupt the 0.5 release process:
you can do both at the same time.
Thoughts?
