[Incubator] Re: Recommend Geotools for Graduation - please vote before Friday

[Cameron Shorter]

+1
Note, from tomorrow morning to the end of the week, I'll be out of 
internet connection range, so if you have any questions of me as the 
Geotools OSGeo mentor, please get them to me within the next 10 hours.

Otherwise, I'm sure Jody or Adrian should be able to answer questions 
people are likely to raise.
