I guess that would work. I always wondered how to make the EasyAnt committers be able to be part of a PMC. I was thinking that they could become "trustworthy" while being in the incubator. But then it would be effectively awkward to promote them into the Ant PMC without it to be involved. So this is indeed a job for the Ant PMC. > Note I used the term "transfer" to recognize a different situation or > standard from "graduation to a TLP". > > Somehow the IPMC would need to certify the IP in the podling and then the > target PMC would have to accept the podling. > > VOTEs: > > (1) PPMC - if it can. We kind of already did that with the mentors. See project status about IP clearance [1]. > (2) Target PMC - to confirm that it wants the podling's IP. The Ant PMC already voted that by sponsoring it I guess. But I am not sure we were all aware of the consequence: having a subproject with only one active PMC member (me), doing a release will need some involvement until some of the EasyAnt committers become part of the PMC. I'll ping the PMC to confirm you're still ok with that. > (3) IPMC - to confirm IP and transfer. > (4) Board - do the bylaws require a fourth vote? Let me know what would be needed at the IMPC level so the transfer can happen.
