I think Tuscany is ready to graduate because: 1) I understand it to have met the base requirements of the IPMC in terms of independent committers 2) It has survived key members of the project jumping ship and forking the code* 3) It seems to me to have an open, welcoming and fair attitude to new committers and contributers 4) The Tuscany team has a clear understanding of the Apache IP rules and release process. However, I agree that there is a strong numerical bias towards one company. I think the IPMC needs to take that into consideration during this vote. Paul * Personally I think you should have disclosed your previous involvement in this project to the IPMC when you started this thread.
