Thanks Bertrand, for your feedback and as I have mentioned, we filed the account requests, and have explained from the community perspective the issues at hand (Matei has done so grandly in the last day and don't have time now to look up the exact thread pointer but look for some replies by Matei over the past day or so). Furthermore, there have been some great recent replies from IPMC members as of last night that summarize my overall feeling with the podling as well.
BTW, your comment below about "very wrong list of PMC members", I take exception to and disagree with. It wasn't a wrong list -- it's that some people in that list had not completed the due diligence to obtain their Apache accounts (though in all cases but 1, for Kay, ICLAs had been filed and that has now been remedied). This is no fault of the members of that PPMC -- it was an oversight on my part and the other mentors part; I take full responsibility for that. However, I will make it very clear that the issue was caught, and now it's been dealt with and is in the process of being dealt with. Once the account requests I filed are complete, all of those members on that list will have Apache accounts, but more importantly ICLAs on file. Trusting the mentors too much isn't a bad thing by the way. I myself have done this. You have to be able to mix precision with recall in these situations and you have to have people like Craig and/or sebb that can catch things -- very valuable tools to catch even when mentors like myself miss some of the details. You know, being a Director; a Treasurer; combined with all the list of other things I do? ;) Regardless, like I said, the issues are being dealt with -- the facts have been stated by me below with pure numbers and data that again show an overwhelming majority of IPMC mentors for Spark; of IPMC members who VOTED in the graduation VOTE; along with community members have VOTEd to graduate this project, and to recommend its graduation to the board. I am going to still leave this VOTE open until Monday in the hopes that seeing the diligence performed by the Spark community in the face of these discussions and the very real need to address the raised issues are precisely the spirit of the Apache way and the communities that we grow here and that those acts change the mind of the minority who issued their -1s. Beyond that, I am not going to leave the VOTE open indefinitely, and I am not going to concern myself with what-ifs at the board level. The facts are here. The discussion is here. Neither change the very real fact that Spark deserves TLP status, and I wholeheartedly recommend its graduation to the board; as do the other IPMC members; community members, and others cited in the data I gathered below.
