The Apache Sqoop project entered incubator in June of 2011. Since then we
have added three new committers from diverse organizations and added two
new PPMC members. The codebase of our product has steadily grown and we
have made two releases following the ASF policies and guidelines. Thanks to
the excellent mentorship we have received through this period, we have
learnt to self-govern and grow our community using accepted Apache
practices. Sqoop continues to attract interest from contributors and users
from all across the world.

Given these milestones, I strongly feel that Sqoop is ready to graduate
from Incubator.

The first step towards graduation is to vote as a community that Sqoop is
ready to graduate. If the vote is successful, we will draft a board
resolution proposal and call it to vote on the general Incubator list. The
complete graduation process is described [1].

Please cast your votes:

[  ]  +1 Graduate Sqoop from Incubator
[  ]  +0 Indifferent to graduation status of Sqoop
[  ]  +1 Reject graduation of Sqoop from Incubator

This vote will remain open for at least 72 hours from now.

Hi,

I will have to cancel this vote thread due to a typo in the vote options in
my original mail below. Specifically, the option to reject the vote
is mentioned as +1 when it should be -1 instead. In order to make sure that
there is absolutely no ambiguity in the vote, I will send out a new vote
thread in a few minutes. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Arvind Prabhakar

Hi Arvind,

I would encourage removing another ambiguity that I saw -- I think you meant
to only hold this on sqoop-dev, right? That's because by the time it gets to the
IPMC, at least one thing I'm interested in is the proposed PMC, if there are
3 ASF members or not, etc., and that would be part of the resolution that
you guys haven't drafted yet.

If you hold this on general@, then before VOTE'ing I would like to see the
proposed graduation resolution. There's a bunch of templates, here's the one
that Lucy just used:

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Chris for your feedback. Yes, this vote is only intended to be held
in the Sqoop community. However, according to the guide on graduation [2],
the guidance on community graduation vote explicitly suggests copying the
Incubator general list when the vote is proposed. Hence, I added the
general list in the cc of the vote mail.

Also, I do state explicitly in the vote mail that if this community vote is
successful, we will draft a board resolution proposal and call it to vote
on the general Incubator list. When we do draft the board resolution
proposal it will have details about initial PMC.

Hi Arvind,

Okey dok, just thought if you were going to cut down on confusion, it might
make sense to *not* include general@, regardless of the guidelines :) Otherwise,
some IPMC person like me might think (regardless of what you put in your email)
that you are intending it as a VOTE for the IPMC.

That's why they are, guidelines, but I don't think they are perfect.

Anyhoo, I'll just ignore the VOTE thread on general@, and assume that
it's really for the Sqoop PPMC at this point.

Cheers,
Chris

//notes to self, maybe I should go update those guidelines, as they don't
//make sense to me, but who doesn't have the energy to do so at this point.

Hi Matt...

   Allow me to disagree with you :), there is no confusion but the problem
is that most of the people click on reply to all which includes
general@address by mistake most probably they don notice it.

Hi Arvind...

   +1 on the idea basically, but you should also attach a draft of a the
charter so conclude the [VOTE] and be ready to be sent to general@.

In BVal case we had another thread to review the charter before sending it
to the general@.
