This is a call for vote to graduate the Apache Etch podling from Apache Incubator.
The Apache Etch project entered the Incubator in September 2008. Since then it has had ups and downs but we feel ready for graduation now. Our community, though small, is active and healthy. In the past four years we have grown the community in committers and users (e.g. in the automotive domain). We made significant improvements to the project codebase and completed several releases according to the ASF guidelines.
