Hi All
The Chemistry podling has been in the incubator since early 2009. In the
last 6 months, the podling has had two sucessful Java releases, and now
its first sucessful non-Java release too. The community is healthy and
diverse, has added new committers, and brought in other code bases + their
communities via the IP clearing process.
Following advice from the mentors, the Chemistry podling has now voted to
graduate:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-chemistry-dev/201102.mbox/%3calpine.deb.1.10.1102071443310.9...@urchin.earth.li%3E

The vote has received 12 PPMC approvals, of which 2 were also IPMC
approvals (Jukka Zitting and myself).
I'd therefore like to ask the IPMC to approve the graduation.
+1 - I approve of the Chemistry graduation
0 - I've not had time to look into it, sorry
-1 - There's an issue with graduation at this time, which is....
Voting will be open for 72 hours. Also, please find the proposed board
resolution below.
Thanks
Nick
