[DISCUSS] Graduation
OK guys, it's time to discuss graduation for Apache SIS. We've already made 2
releases, have been incubating for a while, we've recovered from periods of low
activity, and grown to periods of high activity. There are a lot of people who care
around here, and we've also added a ton of new committers and shown that we
can discuss things on list, develop code in an open meritocratic fashion, and in
the Apache way.
I think it's time for us to graduate. Funny enough, Jukka and others in the IPMC
also included us on their "ready to graduate" status in the last month's report.
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2012
So let's get on with it :) All we have to do now is to choose a chair. I'd suggest
Adam Estrada based on recent activity and also just based on leadership and
desire for the project to succeed :) I'm also open to other suggestions too.
Beyond the chair, I'll draft a resolution in the next day or so that we can begin
a community VOTE on once the discussion has died down. With Martin D.'s
recent work and the forthcoming GeoTk contributions and so forth it's a really
exciting time for Apache SIS!
Cheers,
Chris

Funny, I didn't see that list, but I was thinking pretty much the same
thing. I'd be totally in favor of graduation.

All,
I really do think that it is time for this project to graduate from incubator. SIS has come together quite nicely over the past few months and with the addition of geometry and coordinate reference support from Martin et al, it is exciting to think what is in store for us next! I hope to see this project grow in a multitude of directions while developing tools that benefit both spatial and non-geospatial communities alike. We all know that there is never going to be a "one size fits all" solution, especially in geospatial, so offering a robust and commercially friendly grab bag of tools that adds value to other projects is a huge win!
To quote Kate Chapman @hotosm, "World up!"
