Subject: [VOTE] Graduate PDFBox to an Apache TLP
To: pdfbox-dev <pdfbox-dev@incubator.apache.org>


Hi,

Following the Incubator graduation process [1], I'd like to ask the
PDFBox community to vote on its readiness to become an Apache top
level project (TLP). In addition to measuring consensus on the project
meeting the graduation criteria [2], this vote is about the board
resolution draft included below. Do we have consensus on the proposed
scope, initial members and VP? So far we have no other candidates than
Andreas for the VP post, so I've simply entered his name in the
resolution instead of calling another vote on who should be the first
PMC chair.

This vote is only the first step in the graduation process. Assuming
this vote passes, I will call the Incubator PMC to vote on PDFBox
graduation and then the ASF board will make the final decision based
on the community and IPMC recommendations.

So, please vote on whether you think PDFBox is ready to graduate as
described in the board resolution draft below. Anyone in the PDFBox
community is welcome to cast a vote, but only votes from the PDFBox
PPMC members are binding. The vote is open for the next 72 hours.

   [ ] +1 Graduate PDFBox
   [ ] -1 Do not graduate yet, because...

My vote is +1.
