Hi Everyone, We wrapped up the vote on the Apache Drill dev list in which the community expressed its desire to graduate to a top-level project. That vote passed with 23 +1s (http://bit.ly/1tcrHVS) and 0 -1s (including the project's mentors, PMC members and committers, as well as IPMC members).
This is a new VOTE to decide if Apache Drill should graduate from the Incubator. Please VOTE on the resolution pasted below the ballot. I'll leave this VOTE open for at least 72 hours (October 24, 9:30pm PT). Thanks! [ ] +1 Graduate Apache Drill from the Incubator. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't graduate Apache Drill from the Incubator because.. .
