As discussed last week in the weekly meeting the overall consensus was that after the 0.7.0 release we will start the process to graduate from the incubator. As part of graduation we need to ensure that all items on the checklist [1] are completed. To help coordinate this AURORA-1034 was created in jira to track progress and add subtasks for all items on the checklist. I have been keeping the status file up to date as project events have been occurring and I have drafted our TLP resolution [4] and attached it below. Once we have completed all steps on the checklist we can vote on the TLP resolution and then submit it to the IPMC for a vote.
As part of the TLP resolution we need to select a project chair [2] to perform the duties outlined in [3]. I would like to nominate Bill Farner for this role as the Apache Aurora project chair. This is a huge milestone for us and all the work that has gone in to making this project successful with a strong community behind it, great job everyone. -Jake [1]: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#checklist [2]: http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc-chair [3]: http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair [4]: Establish the Apache Aurora Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to a framework for long-running services and cron jobs.
