Proposed resolution: Establish the Apache OpenOffice Project
The Apache OpenOffice PPMC and Community believe the project is ready to
graduate to a Top Level Project.
Multiple steps were taken in this direction, including:
- Community vote to start graduation process: http://s.apache.org/e7F
- Consensus on resolution text: http://s.apache.org/JN8
- Election of Starting Membership for the PMC: http://s.apache.org/aR9
- Election of a (future) PMC Chair: http://s.apache.org/019
- Feedback from mentors: http://markmail.org/message/utklcwlfwl5wp5sx
The proposed resolution text follows. I expect to start a VOTE on it on
general@incubator as soon as there is consensus (on the same list).
---
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of

Quick follow-up:
- Vote thread is at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201210.mbox/%3C5075C5B0.4010403%40apache.org%3E
- We received some approvals, no problems so far.
- We were asked to slightly change the text of the resolution; the text
is fortunately the same, only two sentences are swapped; you can see the
difference at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/diffpagesbyversion.action?pageId=30148323&selectedPageVersions=7&selectedPageVersions=6
but this won't delay or invalidate the ongoing vote.
Regards,
Andrea.

You are right. We don't have voting rights on incubator, and should not do
any voting there.
Thanks for supplying the link.

Well, the consensus should be established "there" (i.e., at
general@incubator), not here at ooo-dev, and we had no replies so far
there. But considering that
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html shows that the vote
can start the day after the preliminary message I sent, I've proceeded
now and started the 72-hour vote on general@incubator.
We as Apache OpenOffice PPMC members do not have (in general) binding
votes there, so there's no need to vote. And avoiding unnecessary and
confusing votes is the reason for me not sending a copy here: you will
be able to find the message at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201210.mbox/browser
as soon as the archives are updated.
Regards,
Andrea.
