Hi, Thanks for the positive feedback on the proposal to graduate Shindig as a TLP [1].
I would like to start an official vote to recommend the graduation of Apache Shindig as a Top Level Project to the Board. To that end I have prepared the resolution for the Board below to be presented for consideration at the upcoming Board meeting. Community graduation vote thread: http://shindig-dev.markmail.org/message/c47amdxjtntkjij5 Please cast your vote: [ ] +1 to recommend Shindig's graduation [ ] 0 don't care [ ] -1 no, don't recommend yet, because ... The vote will be open for 72 hours.
