These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation
process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they
may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and
described in the status reports and completed in the request for
incubation signoff.
- Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and
acknowledged as committers on the project?
- Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition
of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there
is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared
employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as
individuals, directly or indirectly.)
- Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
- Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of
the committers?
- Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and
acknowleged by all committers?
Things to check for before voting the project out.
- If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?
-
Yes. Send a message to
general-thread.243@db.apache.org
to retrieve the VOTE thread, and to
general-thread.257@db.apache.org
to retrieve the RESULT thread.
- Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of
the above tasks?
-
