Re: freemarker asf branding

[Lalish-Menagh, Trevor]

Could we use the disclaimer at the bottom of the Apache Blur site:
https://incubator.apache.org/blur/ and just change "Blur" to "FreeMarker?"

"Apache Blur is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required
of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
the ASF."

Re: Proposed policy change: Don't require CLA from contributos

[Lalish-Menagh, Trevor]

That sounds great. Lowering the barrier of entry is always good!

One thing that I am working on with the TODO Group is a tool for
ensuring compliance to repo rules (like Copyright headers):
https://github.com/todogroup/repolinter Might be useful here if we
could tie it in somehow.
