Hi,

The Buildr community is requesting to graduate from the incubator as a
top-level project.  We've recently held a
vote<http://n2.nabble.com/-VOTE--Graduation-Board-Resolution-td1347057.html>to
gauge the support of the community and feedback was all positive.  The
project meets all incubator requirements and guidelines and has been in the
incubator for a little more than one year. There have been several releases,
the community is growing steadily, no pending IP issues and development is
pretty active.

For background you can see our incubation status page:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/buildr.html

After soliciting feedback on this list 5 days ago, I am now asking the
Incubator PMC to approve this graduation.

Please vote on approving the graduation of Buildr. This vote is open for the
next 72 hours and only votes from Incubator PMC members are binding.

   [ ] +1 Approve graduation of Buildr as a Top-Level Project
   [ ] -1 Buildr is not ready to graduate
