I just scanned through the ip-clearance page and came away a bit confused

We've brought raccumulo out of our internal repos and are now hosting it
publicly here. The plan is for this to be it's new home.
https://github.com/DataTacticsCorp/raccumulo
Uhh... what? I thought this entire discussion was that you wanted
raccumulo to be a part of Apache Accumulo. If you're planning to host it on
your company's Github page, why are we having this discussion?
Developer ICLAs are complete and filed with secretary@apache
Data Tactics CCLA is complete and filed with secretary@apache
A good goal seems to be having the project included as a contrib project
here:
http://accumulo.apache.org/contrib.html
Again, I'm confused about your Github comment *and* having it be a contrib
(sub project) to Accumulo.
Some of my most recent questions:
Of course, the big question, what is the "apache way" to do that? We want
to do that, we're learning the process and we have more code we want to
donate to the community.
"The Apache Way" can be summed up by (taken from http://www.apache.org/
foundation/how-it-works.html):
- collaborative software development
- commercial-friendly standard license
- consistently high quality software
- respectful, honest, technical-based interaction
- faithful implementation of standards
- security as a mandatory feature
You can think of it as guidelines and best practices designed to help you
grow communities around software projects.
Is it ip-clearance, since it's a large code donation to an apache project?
This is a prerequisite to inclusion into the ASF.
Is it incubation as a sub-project? If incubation is the right way, would
it
preclude initiating the ip-clearance now?
Incubation would also require IP clearance (as the ASF would still hold
the copyright). Incubation != sub-project, however sub-project sometimes
leads into incubation as their own project (e.g. HBase, Hive, Pig,
ZooKeeper to name a few). This typically depends on how the top-level
project wants to "do business".

Hi Josh:
Separate repo (or not), release cycles, etc are project decisions.
As far as importation of the code; it almost certainly needs to go
through IP Clearance.
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/
If you have questions or need help with that process, don't hesitate to
ask.

Hi,
Over at Apache Accumulo, we just got a nice bit of code that
integrates the R programming language (via RStudio) with Accumulo.
This was done completely by the community (non-committers) and we're
trying to figure out what's best for it and where it can live.
The general consensus for us is that we would want to import it into
it's own repository (treat it as a contrib-project) since Accumulo has
no need to depend on it and thus it can be versioned at its own pace.
The contributors are currently working on ICLA/CCLA forms, but I
wanted to see what else we (the Accumulo PMC) would need to do to
import this code.
Thanks!
