Hello Incubator PMC, The Apache Guacamole community has discussed [1] [2], voted on, and approved a resolution to graduate to a top-level project. The draft resolution has since been given to the IPMC for review and discussion [3], and with no further feedback, we would now like to call a VOTE to graduate and establish Apache Guacamole as a top-level project.
Apache Guacamole began incubation in February of 2016. Since entering the Incubator, the podling has gone through four releases [4], added three committers, and grown a healthy and active community on the mailing lists. Our completed maturity evaluation can be found here: http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/maturity-evaluation/ and the community graduation VOTE result can be found here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0de2c49ee556b0e024d25be6092d40 5ce8d1cccbb9df1823ba79713e@%3Cdev.guacamole.apache.org%3E The full text of the proposed resolution can be found below. Please review and vote: [ ] +1 Graduate Apache Guacamole podling from the Incubator [ ] +0 Don't care [ ] -1 Don't graduate Apache Guacamole from the Incubator because... This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Thanks, - Mike [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0848dd53b6acc1a0edea2ed a1f385294eeb041a88c3d1f6221fa1ef2@%3Cdev.guacamole.apache.org%3E [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a5259173a8ef4a1d2bb7be2 d99d3cbc2ccf8856130ae6e3fe54e079e@%3Cdev.guacamole.apache.org%3E [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/da03d479209b6f7a254a301de9bcd4 07a6eaf65f632227e76395f32d@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E [4] http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/releases/ ---------- Establish the Apache Guacamole 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 providing performant, browser-based remote access.
