Subject: [VOTE] Graduate XMLBeans from Incubator and recommend as
top-level project
The XMLBeans project has been actively developed in incubation for
about 10 months. During this time, the user and developer
community has continued to grow stronger, both in number,
diversity, and degree of cooperation. In addition, the XMLBeans
project has demonstrated an understanding and application of the
legal and logistic measures necessary to protect and enhance the
mission of the ASF.
Some examples of this progress can be seen in how XMLBeans has:
- worked with other members of the Apache community,
- brought on new committers, based on the merit of frequent
contributions,
- been responsive to the user community,
- been careful with its handling of the Apache brand (and in fact,
helped to define an appropriate set of restrictions for incubating
projects),
- collaboratively created two binary distributions,
- and implemented and made significant decisions through a PPMC.
Therefore, I believe the XMLBeans project has satisfied the
requirements of the Apache Incubation process, namely :
o does collaborative development according to the ASF's
philosophy and guidelines
o has a codebase that is properly licensed, has clear
provenance, and conforms to the ASF's legal requirements
for contributions
(See the status file for the detailed list:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/site/projects/xmlbeans.cwiki
?rev=1.10&view=markup.)
Furthermore, I believe that the Incubator PMC, on behalf of the
XMLBeans PPMC and the entire XMLBeans community, should recommend
to the Apache Board of Directors to make the XMLBeans project a
top-level Apache project.
Note that the XMLBeans project was originally targeted as a
subproject of the XML project. However, based on the interests
of the XML and the XMLBeans community (in support of the ASF's
interest for proper delegation of project oversight from the
Board to the PMCs), XMLBeans is now requesting TLP status.
I request that members of the XMLBeans PPMC (which includes the
Incubator PMC, the XML PMC, and the XMLBeans PMC committers)
please vote :
[ ] +1 - The XMLBeans project has met the requirements
for incubation and will be recommended to the
board for TLP status
[ ] -1 - The XMLBeans project as not met the requirements
for incubation
This vote will run ~96 hours, closing at 23:59 GMT, Tuesday
June 22, 2004 (extending to vote due to the weekend, but ending
before the upcoming Board meeting):
