A project moves from the incubator to being a TLP, but it's community is the same. Only TLP creation and PMC membership require any true formality, largely to create the new "home" for the community. I think that we would find that the reality for most graduation projects is that they either (1) don't even consider this an issue, or (2) make any committer changes they want to make before graduation. The overwhelming majority seem to do (1)... at least that's what I've observed. I'd agree to Sebb's idea of perhaps updating documentation to clarify that the resolution is the PMC (the wording in the resolution itself talks about the "members of the project", which can be a bit confusing and / or off-putting). -chip --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
