Good point Ken. How about we consider this thread the invite? So
formally:
We would like to invite the projects that Geronimo works with to
consider joining Geronimo as a Subproject. If your project would
like to join, we will either need a proposal to incubate the project,
or a proposal to donate the code. In the case of incubation, the
current committers will have immediate access to their code in the
incubator, and in the case of an donation, the current committers
will have to earn commit on Geronimo.
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:
Absolutely. I guess I wasn't clear. We need a proposal that
Geronimo can vote on and send to the incubator.
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
I was told there was no way for someone to assign copyrights to the
ASF. Has this changed and if so where is the form?
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:

author/projects/incubation-status-template.html?view=markup
Excellent. Thanks for the links.
