Since a software grant is involved, we do need to incubate the code. So, we are at the step where "The Incubator PMC MAY immediately accept the Candidate, or may (at the discretion of the Incubator PMC) require a successful VOTE by the Incubator PMC." If no one responds negatively to the VOTE

However, as the rules stand right now, if you have a PMC that has voted to accept the project then you don't even need a vote here; you're simply good to go. Yeah, I was surprised too but that's the rules as they are now. Sanjiva. On Wed, 2005-08-31 at 21:16 +0200, Martin Marinschek wrote: > Wel
