Proposing Brooklyn to the Apache Incubator (final!)

[Richard Downer]

I would like to invite all stakeholders in Brooklyn - whether user, contributor, committer, friend, and of course our champion and mentors - to read Brooklyn's proposal to the Apache Incubator.

The proposal is here:

https://github.com/brooklyncentral/brooklyn/wiki/Apache-Incubator-Proposal

I'll give it a couple of days to allow those who are away for the holiday weekend to still have a chance to consider it - and then if there are no showstoppers I will post this proposal to the incubator-general list somewhere around the middle of the week.

Looking forward to an Apache-shaped future :-)

Thanks everyone for your contributions.

Ping me directly when you are ready to propose. Thanks!

Folks-

I'm thrilled to say that Alex Karasulu has also volunteered to mentor us as we go for Apache Incubation.  I've added him to the proposal and am pleased to introduce him to our group here.

We've also had strong support informally from nearly everyone involved with the project, on IRC and IRL as well as the mailing list, but under the terms of our charter we should have a formal vote on whether to submit to incubation.  So let me open the VOTE on submitting the incubation proposal at [1].

Hi all,

While you conduct the vote, I figured that I should explain the
process a bit. We're going to take your proposal document and add it
to the incubator wiki. From there, I'll start a discussion thread on
gen...@incubator.apache.org to gather any thoughts from the
incubator. We will also solicit more mentor support during that
process.

After a couple of days, we'll turn the discussion into a formal VOTE
of the incubator to accept the proposal. That will run for at least
72 hours. Once the vote window closes, you'll have become a podling
(and the work to transition over to the ASF infrastructure begins!).

Question for Alex: how long do you want to run your community vote to
make the proposal? Should I wait for it to conclude before starting
the DISCUSS on gen...@i.a.o?

Chip-

Let's do it now!

We've reached the majority required under our charter.

[Chip Childers]

OK, sounds good. Please subscribe to gen...@incubator.apache.org
(email to general-...@incubator.apache.org) to follow along and
answer any potential questions.

I'm going to make a request for more mentor support on your behalf.
Someone from the incoming community should probably take point on
replying to any offers with agreement. It's also possible that others
will want to be on the initial committer list (which is a good thing,
as it immediately increases diversity). The same thing applies
there... someone should be willing to welcome any comers.

Fantastic! I'll be watching that thread with very keen interest.

Thanks for your champion-ing, Chip :-)

Sorry to have missed this, I guess I'll just have to give it a belated token +1

Exciting times :-)
