Four +1's No -1's I believe all issues raised have been addressed. The Wookie project is still awaiting a CCLA from the University of Bolton and thus I have not been able to push forward on this. However, the problem is one of the traditional summer holidays for the education sector rather than a real block. Once the CCLA is filed the project is allowed, under incubator rules, to use the Apache Wookie (Incubator) name in advertising. With this vote we are now able to use the ASF name in event advertising. The Wookie project will now liaise with the PRC to find the right wording (this thread has thrown up a number of acceptable approaches) and I'll copy the details in to the draft plan for support.
