Graduating DeviceMap, who's in from the PPMC?

[Bertrand Delacretaz <bd...@apache.org>]

Hi,

We've been discussing graduation on and off for a while now - I think
once we do at least one release we'd be good w.r.t. the graduation
requirements [2].

However, as an incubation mentor, what worries me is the expected
level of activity once the project graduates.

To be viable, an Apache project needs more than 3 active PMC members,
as most votes require 3 +1s to pass, and people are not always
available.

As for myself, my activities have changed a bit since the project
started, I don't have an immediate need for DeviceMap, but I'm happy
to stay around as an informal mentor for community-related things.

If we graduate soon, who from the current PPMC [1] expects to be
around and active for say the next 1-2 years?

I've been lurking around as mentor. Luckily, Bertrand leaves little for me
to do.

I will not be active.

I am not only the most visible representative of the OpenDDR project, I
also participate in JSRs like Java EE 7/8 and 8 considers better support
for Mobile development either on a platform level or at least in particular
features like JSF. Also the Java Portlet 3 EG, with Apache projects like
Pluto as RI mean possible synergies, thus while my day job may not always
be related to Mobile Web Development, the project is of enough relevance to
those Open Source projects to support it.
