Folks,

Since we are getting close to a weekend, and with holidays early next
week, and because graduating a project is one of the most important
decisions a project can take, I would like to keep this vote open until
6:00pm EST Wednesday July 5th.

If there are any serious concerns about Mapbender graduation we will hold
the final decision over to an IRC meeting on Monday July 10th.

None of this is to be construed as indicating I have a concern about
Mapbender, but rather to ensure we have a clear consensus.

I would remind everyone that the Mapbender incubation progress document is:

And the Mapbender provenance review is at:

Best regards,
