[VOTE] Avro as TLP?

Please vote as to whether you think Avro should become a top-level 
Apache project, as discussed previously on this list.

I've included below a draft board resolution.  It lists all current 
committers as the initial members of the project management committee 
(PMC) and Matt Massie as the initial chair.  Should any more Avro 
committers be added before this is submitted to the board, I intend to 
add their names to the list of initial Avro PMC members.

Do folks support sending this request on to the Hadoop PMC?

Thanks,

Doug

I don't know if these votes are committers only, but +1. Avro is
extremely appealing in many non-Hadoop cases and I think it will
receive sufficient visibility as a TLP.

[RESULT] [VOTE] Avro as TLP?

Posted by Doug Cutting <cu...@apache.org>.
This passes, with 12 +1 votes and no -1 votes from the Avro community.

I'll now forward this on to the Hadoop PMC for consideration.

Thanks,

Doug
