Dear Incubator,
The OpenJPA podling respectfully requests the Incubator to consider
its graduation to a Top Level Project. Please vote on recommending
the attached draft board resolution.
The vote will end in 72 hours, 2300 hours PDT Friday 11-May-2007.
[ ] +1 Recommend to the board to establish Apache OpenJPA
[ ] -1 Do not recommend establishing Apache OpenJPA because...
Over the past several months the OpenJPA community has grown from a
single large donation to a diverse community of contributors and
users. OpenJPA meets the technical requirements for diversity, with
committers from three and PPMC members from four independent
organizations.
Committers from other Apache projects have not only used the
incubating releases as dependencies in their projects but provided
patches to OpenJPA as well.
The OpenJPA community prepared and voted out two releases performed
by different release managers.
The community readily agreed on the bike-shed issues of code
formatting and indentation, and there has been no resurrection of
these issues. The community had issues with commit-then-review
versus review-then-commit and resolved them win-win. Most recently,
a public issue regarding the proposed charter of the TLP was resolved.
During the process of incubation, the PPMC learned how to govern
itself, voting in new committers and PPMC members.
Mentors offered invaluable advice and assistance in getting the
project set up and organized.
