Hi all,

this vote passed with the following result:

+1 (binding): Jean-Baptiste Onofré, Bertrand Delacretaz, Seetharam 
Venkatesh, Chris Mattmann, John D. Ament, Roman Shaposhnik, Hadrian 
Zbarcea, Henry Saputra

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Accept Unomi into the Apache Incubator

[Serge Huber <sh...@jahia.com>]

Yes the resources have been created. We’ve been hard at work on creating the web site and working on the codebase to get it imported asap.

Unless I missed something I haven't seen more news about this here,
but it looks like the Unomi lists have been created and discussions
are now starting there:
