I'd like to call a community VOTE thread on the below board resolution to
make Apache Tika a Top Level Project (TLP) [1]. Please vote and voice your
opinion. I'll leave the vote open for the next 72 hours. I'll take the
results of this VOTE and then submit a final VOTE thread to the Lucene PMC

      and hereby is created, the person holding such office to
      serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair
      of the Apache Tika Project, and to have primary responsibility
      for management of the projects within the scope of
      responsibility of the Apache Tika Project; and be it further

      RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Chris A. Mattmann

      Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
      death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification,
      or until a successor is appointed; and be it further

[RESULT] [VOTE] Apache Tika TLP Board Resolution

Hi All,

This VOTE has passed. Here's the tallies:

+1s:

Sami Siren
Dave Meikle
Jukka Zitting
Grant Ignersoll
Ken Krugler
Andrzej Bialecki
Michael McCandless

I'll now send an email to the Lucene PMC and ask them to VOTE on issue, and
give them 72 hours as well. If all works out, we could send a resolution to
put on the board agenda by Monday morning.

Thanks for voting!

Cheers,
Chris
