Our practice has been to not check in code until after an SGA has been received, e.g., the main OOo contribution from Oracle, the Symphony contribution from IBM and the UOF 2.0 contribution from CS2C. So I assume we just need to fill in a date here in the "copyright" section: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html But what date? The first SGA? The most recent SGA? This is an ongoing effort, for any living project that gets ongoing contributions of existing corporate code. I expect it will continue as a TLP as well. -Rob > Note that this list comes from > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/projects > > Hen > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
