It is with the support of our mentors and a community vote on our
dev list that Qpid
would like to graduate. In our last graduation vote the incubator
PMC felt that the
Qpid project should increase its diversity. Over the intervening
months Qpid has
added more independents to the project & PPMC, bringing the
diversity to 7 legally
independent parties (not counting those mentors who will stay on to
help advise), with
the PPMC diversity at 5 legally independent parties (also not
counting mentors).
Qpid also continues to attract more contributors (both independents
and large corporates),
so the committer pool and diversity should continue to expand as
contributors are voted
in as committers.
Qpid has also made an additional release since the last graduation
attempt and is currently
working through close down of the next release. Qpid was accepted
into the incubator
August 2006.
Attached is the graduation resolution, Please consider your vote for
our graduation.
many thanks.
