Hey all, I'd like to begin discussion to bring Mifos I/O in to the Fineract project as Apache Fineract CN. I propose the following process to get us there. Note that this is a discussion thread. I will send a voting thread once discussion has died down.
A.) Discuss and vote to accept the code into the Fineract project and begin the Apache processes. We should not proceed beyond this point until at least 2/3 of the Committers have voted. My preference is that we reach 100%. B.) Go through the IP clearance process (1) for that code via the Incubator. This will probably require at least: a.) A software grant from the Mifos Initiative b.) A CLA from Kuelap c.) An iCLAs from Mark van Veen, Nina Delvos, and Riana Allen. d.) A thorough check through of the code to make sure those of us working on it haven't missed any licensing issues. C.) Discuss the necessary infrastructure for the code, and place the corresponding requests with the INFRA team. This will at least include JIRA, and github. D.) Move the code and rename the packages from Mifos to Fineract. E.) After migrating the code resolve any release-blockers which might remain. F.) Go through the final QA/Release process for the new code base. Release under the name Fineract CN to disambiguate from the current Fineract code base. G.) Announce and document. H.) goto E. I am *not* proposing that we stop development on the existing Fineract code base. That is a decision for each individual contributor to make, and it's not a decision that needs to be made at this time. This will be a long process. It may be late October before we are even at C. Please be patient once we get going. Do you see anything that I've missed? Do you have any concerns? Best Regards, Myrle Krantz Individual Contributor, Apache Fineract 1.) http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/
