3… 2… 1… Apache Wicket
We have Graduation! The Wicket project is established as the Apache Wicket project within the Apache Software Foundation.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Apache Board Meeting, June 20, 2007 (new officers!) Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:45:06 -0700 From: Greg Stein Reply-To: members@ To: members@ Hi all, Today, the newly-elected Board met for the first time. After we got done with our regular series of project reviews and other reports, we elected a new slate of executive officers. I'm happy to present that list: Jim Jagielski, Chairman Justin Erenkrantz, President J Aaron Farr, Treasurer Sam Ruby, Exec VP and Secretary Welcome guys to your new offices! We also established new three projects: * Apache Quetzalcoatl: this springs mod_python and related bits out of the HTTPD project into its own TLP. Gregory Trubetskoy is its Chair. * Apache Wicket: this is a light webapp framework for Java, graduating from the Incubator into its own TLP. Martijn Dashorst is the new Chair. * Apache Commons: this is the venerable Apache Jakarta Commons, now spun out into its own TLP, with Torsten Curdt as its Chair. Finally, we swapped a couple PMC Chairs: * Will Glass-Hussin replaces Henning Schmiedehausen as the Velocity Chair * David Sean Taylor replaces Santiago Gala as the Portals Chair That's it for this month. Please feel free to forward this to any public/private forum as you see fit. If you have any questions, then please don't hesitate to ask myself or any other Director or officer. Cheers, -g
From this rather obscure blog, I would like to congratulate all Wicket community members with this remarkable feat! Furthermore, I like to thank the Board of the Apache Software Foundation for the trust they invested in us. We will not disappoint!
I personally would like to thank Wicket’s mentors:
- Alex Karasulu (whose birthday coincidentally is today… what a better gift could you receive). Thanks for bringing us on board!
- Upayavira, who made the transition even run smoother than thought possible. Thanks for guiding us and I hope you’ll stay for a long time with our project!
- Bertrand Delacretaz, thank you for your help, votes and advise. We will miss your involvement, but will certainly see you in the future!
- Sylvain Wallez, also big thanks for helping and guiding us. I hope Wicket is still working within Joost
Finally, congratulations to the new officers, PMC Chairs and the other two new projects: Apache Quetzalcoatl and Apache Commons! Welcome to the club!

Wicket => Apache Wicket…
Wicket has graduated from Apache Incubator and has now become an Apache top level project. I would like to thank all the guys who made this possible and especially Martijn (our new PMC Chair). I’m trying to plan a little get-together/meeting in C…

[...] Wicket has been graduated to a top level Apache project. My very best congratulations! And soon we will have Wicket 1.3 and a smashing new book on Wicket as well, so the future looks just great. I have been off working with my own Wicket projects for a while, but now it’s time get working with Irrigator again, and make my heating controller better adapted for use with mobile phones. I used fancy Ajax stuff for it’s very simple GUI, not realising that the Sony-Ericsson phones doesn’t do Ajax… Silly me. Now where’s my iPhone!? [...]

Wow. Excellent news. Congratulations to all. I bumped into Wicket a year and quarter back and must admit that i was impressed with it and recommended to my colleagues though i could not sell it. Over the last year it has gained significant mileage and with this announcement i feel we have a strong case.

Great news. Martijn, I met you last year at TSS Barcelona, and it’s good to see that your hard work with Wicket is rewarded; I hope the Apache brand will further expand Wickets use around the globe. It’s been a while since I have used Wicket (I am not doing much web programming for now). but Wicket is my first pick when I will make web apps again, as I really like the clean separation of HTML and Java, and the no-brainer way to Ajax-enable your app.
Congratulations.

[...] With Wicket’s recent graduation we had become homeless: the Incubator didn’t want us anymore (you’re graduated, get out!), and our TLP was not yet established. In the mean time, the universe seemed to conspire against us: lethal solar flares tried to divert infrastructure’s attention to burning machines. But we prevailed! [...]
