When Eddie and I briefly chatted at ApacheCon we agreed that there
seems to be a shortfall of information on the steps required for
moving out of the Incubator, and also that the steps would be
different for graduating as a new TLP (e.g., Eddie's experience
with Beehive) or graduating into an existing TLP (e.g., my
experience with Derby into the DB project).
I'd like to initialize this topic now so we can capture JDO's
experience of moving into the DB project (nothing like fresh
experience).
Here's a starting checklist based on one I started last summer when
Derby graduated:
[ ] Move svn repo
[ ] Request svn repository/karma move from incubator to new
location.
***Who should make this request? One of the project's mentors?
Anyone on the podling pmc?
A sample email would be helpful here.
[ ] Remove the incubator disclaimer README at the top level
[ ] Update the STATUS file to reflect graduation
[ ] Move web site
[ ] Obtain karma for the new location on people.apache.org
[ ] Check out/deploy the files in the new location
[ ] Request redirect from old incubator URL to new
*** Post this request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
Is this an HTTP redirect in .htaccess file?
[ ] After the redirect is verified working, delete any web cruft
from
/www/incubator.apache.org/${PROJECT}
[ ] http://incubator.apache.org/projects/${PROJECT}.html
update with link to new website location
[ ] http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html
Move project from "Currently Incubating" to "Successfully
Incubated" table.

Here's a few:
[ ] Submit Infra request to move mailing lists and archives. For
example in a TLP, the ppmc list is renamed to pmc. sometimes the name
of the mailing list needs to be updated (if there is a name change
etc)
[ ] Update information in JIRA/Bugzilla for the project.
Off the top of my head a few more things for a TLP:
Infra folks have additional work for a TLP (for example they have to
add DNS entries). If it is a TLP, several locations in www.apache.org
needs to get updated as well. One more thing the PMC has to get on a
schedule for reporting to the board, there is a committee.txt that
needs to be updated.
From what I remember from when Geronimo graduated, a TLP needs to be
approved by the board, so the PPMC needs to create a proposal
including a proposed PMC chair and send that to the board. A
graduating project may also want to send out a press release, which
needs to be cleared with the PRC.
