Based on community discussions on the project mailing lists and the current state of Apache Aurora (incubating) I would like to start a community VOTE for Apache Aurora (incubating) to graduate from the Incubator and become a Top Level Project. If this VOTE is successful then I will call an Incubator PMC VOTE, and pending that successfully passing, I will paste the project graduation resolution below into the board agenda to be discussed at the next board meeting.
