I believe we are still interested. Can you re-cap what you would plan to donate? Is it still derived from BootFlat?
I have just completed processing the donation of Radii8 from Judah Frangipane. I think I now have cycles to work with you on this donation if you want my assistance. (You don't have to pick me, there's plenty of documentation and other folks who might be interested in helping). Either way, I think the next steps are: 1) Review the files you plan to donate to determine their provenance (essentially, who is the owner and what licenses might apply). Apache can only accept certain licenses. If you have questions, ask on the mailing list, but feel free to ask me off-list in case names of people come up or some mis-handling of IP is discovered. It doesn't have to be thorough or exacting: you don't have to go through every file, but we want to make sure the important ones have a good chance of getting through the process. 2) Once it looks like there aren't any blockers, there has to be a formal vote. Of course, if someone comes up with an objection on this thread, that might end the discussion right there. 3) Once the vote results come out in favor, then you will have to fill out certain forms which may involve getting signatures from people with authority to sign contracts. For example, at Adobe, I have to get a VP to sign the grant form. One of the forms requires some description of the files so this is when you do have to scrub every file to make sure every file you plan to donate has, to the best of your knowledge, a provenance that is acceptable to Apache. 4) Once the forms and files are ready, the signed forms get submitted to Apache. Once recorded, someone, usually me, prepares another form that another group at Apache called the Incubator reviews along with the files. In preparation for this review, the files get scrubbed again, this time with an eye towards how Apache handles source files. Sometimes, certain files will need to be removed or modified. Finally, once the review determines there are no further issues, the code will land in an Apache repo.
