Thanks again to everyone who have helped get OFBiz to this point. I
have been very impressed with the activity and interest by many
people throughout the incubation process and speaking for others who
have been involved with OFBiz for years we are looking forward
working more with and in the foundation.

The Apache Open For Business Project community has voted internally
and agreed on readiness to graduate from the Apache Incubator based
on the Incubator Policy exit guidelines here:
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/
Incubation_Policy.html#Exiting+the+Incubator
The vote passed with 8 binding +1 votes, 20 non-binding +1 votes,
and no +0 or -1 votes.
My understand of what this vote means is that based on the
incubator policy and what we learned through the process of getting
a test snapshot release approved, as a PPMC we believe that OFBiz
has now satisfied all requirements for graduation from the Apache
Incubator and there are no outstanding issues related to this left
to resolve.
Based on early discussion about OFBiz at the ASF (around the time
OFBiz entered the incubator) the best place for the project seems
to be as a top level project (TLP). This is a separate thing to
vote on, so I mention it here for information purposes only.
As we understand it the next step in the process is to request a
vote in the Incubator community to get graduation approval by the
Incubator PMC. So, here we are...
Everyone is welcome to vote, and we appreciate the expression of
support and interest, though the Incubator PMC member votes are the
only binding ones.
Please cast your votes:
[ ] +1 Graduate OFBiz Podling
[ ] +0 Abstain
[ ] -1 Do not Graduate OFBiz Podling
