Hi IPMC'ers and the rest of the Incubator community,
The ESME community has been discussing graduation to TLP [1] and we
just concluded a vote on the subject [2]. There is
overwhelming consensus in the community (all +1 VOTEs including those from
our mentors) that we've achieved what's required here in the Incubator, and
so we'd like to put forth the following board resolution for the next Board
meeting to promote ESME to an Apache TLP and graduate from the Incubator.
Please VOTE on the below resolution for promoting ESME to an Apache TLP and
graduating from the Incubator. The VOTE is open for 72 hrs.
[ ] +1 Accept ESME's graduation from the Incubator
[ ] +0 Don't care.
[ ] -1 Don't accept ESME's graduation from the Incubator because...
