Hi Brian,
I'm happy to mentor. I'm not a member of ASF (I'm a committer/PMC on
MyFaces) and I thought you had to be an ASF member to mentor. If I'm
allowed as a mentor I'd be glad to help out!
Do you want me to post to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list? Or should it
come from you?
Can you sponsor directly? Or maybe the correct question is, who
should we list as our sponsor? I think we'd (the cayenne community)
would be glad to go into DB to start if that is the best fit for now.
We are open to where ever the best fit is. The TLP request is because
cayenne is headed to be much more than your fathers OR mapping
framework :-)
I added myself as a mentor and removed the DB PMC sponsorship
language on the proposal page.
Thanks again!

Having the DB PMC sponsor the proposal basically means the DB PMC
is taking responsibility and it will become a part of the DB
Project -- which I don't think is quite what you want. I'm more
than happy to mentor, personally, but that is me speaking, not the
DB PMC. The ways of the incubator are more or less in slow flux as
we figure out how best to make it work.
If you want the DB PMC to sponsor the project I can bring a
proposal to the PMC, but I am not sure what it means to have the DB
PMC sponsor it and have the project intended to become a top level
project.
Looking at the proposal, I would suggest a couple small changes:
* Change the requested cayenne-pmc mailing list to cayenne-ppmc
* Let's see if the DB PMC is willing to sponsor (I am just the
chair) before we make that part of the proposal =)
Bill, are you willing to help mentor? I ask as you initially
contacted us here =)
We may also want to take this discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
which gets a bit more traffic and probably where people can offer
more advice!

Brian, et all.
We put a proposal draft on Cayenne Wiki:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/ASF+Proposal
As we are requesting DB PMC to sponsor it, I am posting it on this
list before we send it to the incubator. I guess someone from DB
PMC would have to initiate the incubator request. Please comment.
Thanks

Cayenne might be better suited for TLP status, which I suggest
considering as the DB project is starting to balloon =)
That said, I am very willing to support Cayenne personally, and
suspect the rest of the DB PMC might be supportive as well. It
would fit well in the DB project conceptually (which historically
is more about database access than databases). I just am trying
to go with the TLP preference vibe going around, and that Cayenne
has been around a while I don't want to cramp their style.
So, I'm very happy to help mentor (the Official Incubator Role
and the actual verb, as it relates to working within Apache)
Cayenne, and would love to see this work out! It may be worth
pinging the Tapestry folks as well as I have seen a lot of
Cayenne use within the Tapestry community, and they are an
energetic bunch.
