You can learn more details at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/Howl . For the last six months the code has been hosted at github. The Howl team would like to move the project into the Apache Incubator. You can see the proposal for the project at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/HowlProposal . In order to be accepted as an Incubator project Howl needs a Sponsoring project. I propose that we, the Pig project, sponsor Howl. By sponsoring Howl we are saying that we believe it is a good fit for the ASF and that we will assist the Howl project to succeed. You can read full details of sponsoring a project at http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Sponsor . Our bylaws don't explicitly cover such a vote, but I think lazy majority should be reasonable. All votes are welcome, PMC member votes will be binding. Clearly I'm +1. Alan.
