Graduation

[Greg Brown <gk...@mac.com>]

Mentors,

I'm looking at the graduation docs right now. The final step in the  
process appears to be a vote by the ASF Board of Directors. According  
to this chart, we should plan for 4+ weeks of discussion and review  
before the board meeting:

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#process

Since the board meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, it seems like  
we're too late to look at August graduation and we should be targeting  
September. Do you agree, or do you think we might be able to complete  
the process before the August board meeting?

Thanks,
Greg

It is however important that these things get started if you want to
meet the deadline for the next board meeting.

Any PPMC member can perform steps 1-4, no need to wait for your
mentors :). There doesn't seem to be any contention on general@ for
graduating pivot, so I suggest starting with 1, 2 and 3 would be
great. You can look at the wicket graduation process (or any other
recently graduated podling) [1], [2] and [3]

May 2007 is a rich month of graduating projects: OpenEJB, OpenJPA and
Wicket moved out of the incubator...

Yes, there is little need for artificial deadlines. Personally, I think
August meeting is achievable, if things moves smoothly.

Main points,
1. A community vote.
2. Ensure that the STATUS page is up to date.
3. Formulate the Board Resolution.
4. Bring it to the Incubator for discussion, then vote.
5. Submission of resolution to board agenda.

Cheers
Niclas

Of course, it may be better to simply start the process as soon as  
possible and target graduation when the process itself logically  
completes, rather than imposing some sort of artificial deadline...  :-)
