Apache Qpid : Project Status

Qpid is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF

Graduation

We are actively working toward graduation. In our last graduation vote we had thought that we needed a diverse committer base (which we have), however we came to learn that the PMC also needs good diversity (yes - thinking about this it is logical). So we stopped our graduation vote in order to add representation on our PPMC.

If you would like to become a committer and join the PPMC, this is how we do it. We would love to have you on the project!
