Hello all. My name is Adrian Crum and I am a PMC member of the Apache Open For Business project (OFBiz).
Apache OFBiz is an ERP application, and it contains some technologies that would be suitable for spinning off into stand-alone libraries. One of those technologies is a Java object type conversion framework. I noticed that Commons has a dormant Convert sub-project, and I believe that would be a good place for our library. In other words, I would be interested in adopting the Convert project. Another technology suitable for spin-off is our Temporal Expression library. You can read more about that in our Wiki - http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Temporal+Expressions. I'm not sure where that would fit into the Commons project. I expect it to be developed further into a complete calendaring code library. Both of these technologies are written in Java, and they are already using the Apache 2 license. The Apache OFBiz developer community supports my efforts to spin off these technologies, and some in the community would likely join any new projects they create. I would greatly appreciate any advice or direction in this matter. Thanks in advance! -Adrian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
