Sure - the formal process, after Brooklyn has voted to accept it, is described at [1]. It has to be executed by either an Officer or a Member of the ASF - I am both, so the process can be summarised as "I will take care of it" :-) We and Cloudsoft have done this twice before (once for the Brooklyn CLI, and once for the CAMP Server), so I don't expect any problems. Cloudsoft will need to complete a legal Software Grant Agreement, so I'll need assistance from Cloudsoft management, but it shouldn't be too onerous. Richard.
