[general] Board resolution for Apache Harmony project
I've been anticipating this moment for 2 years now... :)
While it doesn't seem possible given infrastructure issues that are
interfering with mail to get something in front of the board tomorrow
(plus the fact that the board likes things in advance) if a miracle
happens I'd like to try, and if not, we need this anyway for next month,
so we should get this put to bed (and back to work).
Here's a proposed resolution to put before the board to create Apache
Harmony as a Top Level Project (TLP) of the ASF. As per a discussion
on the -private list, it's been suggested that I be offered as the
candidate to the board as the PMC chair, so I filled in that blank, but
that's open for discussion like everything else in this proposal. (The
board chooses a chair - we just make the suggestion). There's no real
rush to get this in tomorrow - as I said, it's really unlikely anyway -
so please speak up with comments or concerns.

Thanks for the link. I've read several decision reports and they look very
much like Geir's proposal in form, so to it seems to be the right one.

I don't know the formal form of such documents. If it fits the form,
then it is ok to me because the proposal contents looks just fine.

This is the text of the resolution that we would present to the board to
formally make us a TLP once the Incubator PMC votes to release us from
incubation (on the condition the board makes us a TLP.)
The vote on general@incubator is for the Incubator PMC to vote to
release us from incubation on the condition that the board makes us a
TLP (on the condition that the incubator releases us from incubation, on
the condition that the board....)
The language is the formal language in which the board issues resolutions.

Geir,
Sorry about my confusion. Is this synonymous with or a part of the
process of applying to Apache to graduate us from incubator status?
Thanks,
