Figuring out how the sandbox(es) and the incubator work together is increasingly flagging on my attention list. Sam's list of rules is the most concrete thing I've seen so far: * If the SVN tree was always on ASF infrastructure, * the code was always under the Apache License, * and the committers were all ASF committers, => then no trip through the incubator is necessary. <= If any ONE of these things are not true (example: code on CodeHaus created by ASF committers with Apache license), then incubator needs to be involved to ensure that there is a proper audit trail. This is pretty painful, write a class outside the ASF that you own the copyright to, then go through pain to get it in. Still, it's the system and we need to try the system before we try to break it :) > The Incubator (with its delegated responsibilities from the board) > currently specifies that all external code imports that is going to be > maintained at the ASF must have a 'software grant' on file: > > <http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt> How is this submitted?

Didn't get anywhere with the Commons CSV stuff earlier, but I probably didn't understand the right questions to ask. Currently I'm preparing an Incubator proposal and hoping it'll just amount to a software grant and then we can be out of the Incubator. So another question here, is the de-facto new project template the correct way to bring component/code into the sandbox/an existing project? > If any PMC is importing code to our repository without going through the > Incubator, then they are in violation of ASF policy. -- justin The message is starting to get across and we'll get there.
