[VOTE] Chukwa as TLP?

[Eric Yang <ey...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Please vote as to whether you think Chukwa should become a top-level
Apache project.

I've included below a draft board resolution.  It lists all current
active Chukwa committers as initial members of the project management
committee (PMC) and myself, Eric Yang, as the initial chair.

Do the good people of Hadoop support sending this request on to the Hadoop
PMC?

regards,
Eric

We're certainly far from dead.  It's in use at several sites; we're
getting significant code contributions from outside the original
developer group; we've done several releases, and we're seeing
steadily more user mailing list traffic.

But I agree the jump to TLP is probably ill-advised, and would vote
for incubation instead.

Wow.  I thought Chukwa was basically dead, much less prepared to be a TLP.

-1

In my opinion, the Chukwa PMC doesn't have enough experience with the  
Apache Way (ie. processes) to be a self-sustaining PMC. I'd be +1 for  
moving to Incubator.
