Hi All, Since entering Incubation in May 2011, the Airavata community has evolved and has been steadily growing. The project has made 3 releases, added 6 new committers and PPMC members. The podling has been very actively using mailing list and JIRA and all communication is in open. Thanks to very hands-on mentors, the project has learned to self-govern and has been following the Apache Way.
The project incubator status page [1] is up to date and trademarks has approved Airavata as a name for TLP [2]. The community has discussed graduation and prepared a board charter [3]. The initial PMC has been opted in on the private mailing list and PMC chair has been elected on the dev list [4]. The community feels ready to graduate [5] and voted 19 positives votes and no negative votes. We request the IPMC to vote on the resolution to establish Airavata and to recommend the resolution to the board. Please cast your vote : [ ] +1 Graduate Airavata podling from Apache Incubator [ ] -1 Airavata podling is not yet ready to graduate because …. This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Please find the proposed board resolution below.
