Hi, The Apache Mynewt podling just passed the vote within its community to graduate it to a Top Level Project. An informational note was sent out earlier about the vote going on and it was pointed out that the status page needed to be updated. We have done that. http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mynewt.html <http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mynewt.html>
I’d like to share the full text of the proposed resolution and open it up to discussion for at least 72 hours before putting it to a formal vote. ---------------- The incubating Apache Mynewt community believes it is time to graduate to TLP. Apache Mynewt entered incubation in October of 2015. Since then, we've overcome technical challenges and built Apache's first Operating System for IoT devices, and made 6 releases. Our most recent releases include NimBLE, OIC1.1 support, MCUbootloader. We are a very helpful and engaged community, ready to answer all questions and feedback directed to us via the user list. We've added several committers from different organizations, and are actively pursuing others. While we continue working on maturity, all projects are ongoing processes, and we believe we no longer need the incubator to continue. To inform the discussion, here is some basic project information: Project status: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mynewt.html <http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mynewt.html> Project website: http://mynewt.incubator.apache.org/ <http://mynewt.incubator.apache.org/> Project documentation: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/Apache+Mynewt+Project <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/Apache+Mynewt+Project> Maturity assessment: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/Maturity+model <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/Maturity+model> DRAFT of the board resolution is at the bottom of this email Proposed PMC size: 20 members Total number of committers: 20 members Various PMC/Committer affiliations (* indicated chair) Runtime (6) Google (1) Imagination Technologies (1) Codecoup (4) Adafruit (1) 4,565 commits on develop 280 closed PR”s on GitHub 39 contributors across all branches 92 forks on Github dev list averaged ~200 msgs/month in the last one year 647 issues created 465 issues resolved/closed -------------- Resolution: Establish the Apache Mynewt Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures.
