Derby was sponsored by the Apache DB Project, but had its own PPMC, and the PPMC decision was to include all Derby committers as a PPMC member. We never notified the DB Project of anything -- it simply didn't occur to us. Then again, we also didn't explicitly notify the Derby PPMC that I remember. :-) We fumbled a bit. Derby actually did graduate into an Apache DB subproject, but it's worth it to mention what Noel pointed out yesterday about the "final destination will be determined at graduation" -- see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.general/7707 . (I'll try to keep this on my radar for docs.) What's the best practice moving forward? If we nail down clear guidelines, new projects will spend less time figuring things out and more time building their communities. >> At least three +1 >> votes are required (see guidelines at >> http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html), and only the PPMC member >> votes are binding. > > > IMO, the PPMC/committer question needs to be clarified.

I think Ken covered this on a parallel thread. -jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
