[DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Olingo as TLP

["Klevenz, Stephan" <st...@sap.com>]

Hello,

Apache Olingo is in incubation since August 2013. Since then the
project made a lot of progress, has created 2 releases (where the
3rd one is in progress), added 7 new committers and has now 18 in
total and got two major code contributions [1]. Also the mailing
list is quite busy and many people do show interest into the
project [2].

The Olingo community did agree to graduate and had voted for a
resolution proposal [3, 4]. The resolution  is added to this mail
and and we would like to ask the IPMC if there are any objections
to it.

Greetings,
Stephan
