Hi,
We've drafted a first version of the resolution to be submitted to the board
for the graduation of ODE as a TLP. It's reproduced at the end of this
e-mail for your review.
Since the start of our graduation we believe we've demonstrated our ability
to build a community and grow it in an open and respectful manner, hopefully
in a true Apache way. We've resolved the conflicts created before our
incubation around two different donated code bases. We've since then
continued the development of the project and have grown a community of
supporting users. We've recently built an incubator release and attracted a
new committer. Finally, the formation of our PPMC has been a bit tardy but
all the individuals composing it have demonstrated their ability to take
decisions and organize the project in a positive way as part of our
development community. For all these reasons we believe we're ready for
graduation.
Once everybody is happy with the resolution, we can start a vote for
recommendation to the board.
Thanks!
Matthieu
