Hi all, the Deltacloud community and mentors feel that we are ready to graduate to a toplevel Apache project.
A while ago, we held a vote on the deltacloud-dev mailing list[1] about graduation, with 8 +1 votes (2 from mentors) and no 0 or -1 votes[2]. Since we started incubation, we've made 4 releases and added 3 new contributors[3] We would like to move the process of graduation forward; to that end, I would like feedback on the draft resolution (included below) and, assuming the discussion doesn't turn up any absolute blockers, call for a vote for the IPMC on this list on 2011-10-17. cheers, David [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-deltacloud-dev/201108.mbox/%3c1313190921.5165.4.ca...@avon.watzmann.net%3E [2] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-deltacloud-dev/201109.mbox/%3c1316040219.17880.34.ca...@avon.watzmann.net%3E [3] http://incubator.apache.org/projects/deltacloud.html Draft resolution: WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software implementing web service API's for interacting with cloud providers, and corresponding client libraries, for distribution at no charge to the public.
