Fw: [vote] Woden Graduation from Incubation into WS Project

[Lawrence Mandel <lm...@ca.ibm.com>]

*Forwarding my e-mail to the WS PMC to the woden-dev list. I copied the 
dev list in the original e-mail but had a typo in the address.


Hello WS PMC,

The time has come for Woden to graduate from the Apache Incubator into the 

Apache Web Services Project. Woden has completed all of the items required 

for graduation (see the status file [1]) and has successfully conducted a 
project committer graduation vote (8 +1 and 0 -1 votes, see results in the 

e-mail below). 

I think it's worth mentioning that Woden is already integrated well with 
the WS project set as it consumes WS commons XmlSchema and Axiom and is 
consumed by Axis2.

Next in the process is for you, the WS PMC, to decide whether to accept 
Woden into the WS project. If there is no predefined time period for 
voting (such as at a board meeting) Woden's leadership would appreciate 
your votes being cast by the end of this week (Nov. 30, 2007) as we would 
like to complete the voting process before the holiday season kicks into 
gear and will still need to conduct a vote with the Incubator project.

Please feel free to contact myself or John Kaputin directly or via the 
woden-dev at ws.apache.org mailing list with any questions.

Thanks,

Lawrence Mandel

[vote] Woden Graduation from Incubation






Woden team, as discussed on today's status call, the time has come to 
propose graduation from the Apache Incubator [1] to the Apache Web 
Services project [2]. All of the graduation prerequisite items have been 
completed (see the Woden status file [3]) and Woden has been functioning 
as an Apache project following the Apache way for some time.

Here's how the graduation process will proceed according to the Apache 
Incubator guidelines for graduating to a subproject [4]:

1. A vote is held for the Woden committers to decide whether we think the 
project is ready for graduation. This vote will be held on woden-dev at 
ws.apache.org.
2. A vote is held with the Apache Web Services PMC to decide whether they 
will accept Woden as a Web Services subproject. this vote will be held on 
pmc at ws.apache.org.
3. A vote is held for the Incubator PMC to decide whether the Incubator 
project will sign off on the graduation proposal. This vote will be held 
on general at incubator.apache.org.

This e-mail is a call for step 1, the Woden committers vote. Unlike a 
release vote, this vote does not have to do with a code deliverable but 
rather is concerned with the way in which Woden is managed, run, and 
developed. The Woden status file [3] contains many questions that we've 
all worked to address since entering the incubator. At it simplest, the 
question is - does Woden exemplify the Apache Way [5]?


Woden committers - Please cast your vote on woden-dev by Friday, November 
23, 2007.


(*Note that while binding votes are restricted to Woden committers anyone 
is welcome to voice their opinion.)


Here's my +1 and my congratulations to everyone for working to get Woden 
into shape for graduation.


Lawrence
