[DRAFT] Resolution
As you may be aware, the River team is currently pushing towards
graduation and becoming a Top Level Project of the ASF. Part of this
process is the creation of a "Resolution". You can find our draft
resolution below. As suggested by the Apache site, it's based on
someone else's (accepted) resolution - in this case Harmony's. We'd
be grateful if you could take some time to review this resolution and
let us have any comments about it before we put it to an official
vote.
Information on resolution and charters can be found here;

Many thanks,
Tom

I always stick around (at least 6months, often 'forever') on the
private@ and dev@ list of all podlings that I mentor, not as a PMC
member but as an "interested ASF Member", since I don't want to
interfere with technical direction, and only provide guidance if
needed. Also allows me to withdraw silently.

I think this is obvious, but if it needs a vote, +1 on including Jukka
in the proposed initial River PMC.

It's customary for some of the project mentors to stick around as PMC
member to make sure everything runs smoothly after the graduation and
to maintain a link to the ASF membership until the first River
committers get elected as ASF members.
If you're willing to suffer me for a little longer, I'd be happy to
join the River PMC in this capacity.

This part is normally added by the ASF secretary after the board
meeting. There's no need to include it in the resolution.

Shall we post the draft to general@incubator.apache.org? They can have
their input at the same time whe have.
"The resolution should be proposed on the general incubator list before
a VOTE is started to allow feedback. Once a consensus has been reached,
a VOTE should be started on the same general incubator list by a member
of the PPMC proposing that the IPMC recommends the resolution to the Board."

Suggested wording change:
"... software providing and implement of the Jini ..." to "... software
providing and implementing the Jini ..."

A release is not necessary before graduation.
However, the board meeting on December 15 is very soon. Project
reports are expected at least two days before the meeting and it's
good practice to reserve even more time for proposed resolutions.
Also, we still need to tally up the community graduation vote,
finalize the proposed resolution and conduct the IPMC vote on
graduation before reaching up for the board (see [1]). There's no need
to hurry up, so I suggest we target the January board meeting instead.

To restart the thread, if i've understood correctly we are not required
to do another release before graduating. So if can we make it for the 15
december meeting, i would be a nice christmas present.
And we can always ask Benson if we are really lost, can't we?
