To be clear, Brett's statement: https://mail-search.apache.org/members/private-arch/board/201405.mbox/%[email protected]%3e
In that he indicated that we have a dearth of written policy that addresses DVCS. I do not believe it is Infra's bailiwick to define this policy, even if we will end up enforcing it. Brett raised a number of concerns, which I won't bother repeating. He recommended that the project adopt ASF git services with github integration. However, he suggested that if Usergrid did not wish to use the current ASF git repo, or the Github integration and push further, that the project would need to satisfy the Incubator, Infrastructure, and the Board. I will explicitly say that the process as it works now is not acceptable to infrastructure. Infrastructure is not opposed to helping projects do innovative new things, but please involve us in the discussion. Since this thread began, I've also chatted with VP, Legal; which is where I think the policy will be defined. VP, Legal seems to agree that the proposed arrangement is not satisfactory. --David <snipped all of the replies since some were made only to a private list, and I've added a public list back into the discussion.>
