I'm not sure of the order in which all steps must occur, but we (the Geronimo PMC) must also vote to accept each project per the Incubator FAQ: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4. Someone has proposed that their code/project be donated to project X within the ASF for continued development. What do we need to do to accept the code? The Incubator will only accept code for incubation if a PMC (project management committee) or the Apache board has voted to accept it. So when a proposal for the donation of code occurs, the project in question should discuss the proposal internally, leading to a decision by that project's PMC on whether or not to accept the code (and potentially the project surrounding it) into the fold. If the PMC agrees, then the incubator can be approached, and the code accepted for incubation. The grant needs to be recorded by following the procedure outlined at the Software Grants section of the ASF Licenses page. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beyond this, once a project has been voted in, the following additional requirements must be met: a) project license (must be AL 2.0) b) the copyright must be assigned to the ASF c) all committers must file a CLA with the ASF (if one is not already on file) Please note that it is possible for some (or most) of these projects to pass right on through the Incubator as long as the exit criteria are met: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Exitting+the+Incubator Also, here's the template that must be filled and submitted upon importing each project into the Geronimo SVN repo: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/projects/incubation-status-template.html?view=markup Bruce -- perl -e 'print unpack("u30","D0G)[EMAIL PROTECTED]&5R\"F)R=6-E+G-N>61E<D\!G;6%I;\"YC;VT*" );' The Castor Project http://www.castor.org/ Apache Geronimo http://geronimo.apache.org/
