Sean, If you want to discuss graduation guide, here are the steps I'm noticing as missing. Lines copied straight from the [guide]:
- FWD the [VOTE] e-mail to the general list, or - Send a different copy to the general list indicating that a graduation community [VOTE] is in progress - The resolution <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-resolution> should be proposed on the general incubator list <general@incubator.apache.org> before a VOTE <http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html> is started to allow feedback. Once a consensus has been reached, a VOTE should be started on the same general incubator list by a member of the PPMC <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html> proposing that the IPMC <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29> recommends the resolution to theBoard <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#board> . - John [guide]: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#process On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 6:18 AM, Sean Owen <sro...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't have enough knowledge of DeviceMap to have much opinion.
