My primary concern is IP clearance for an inaugural ASF release. As a freelancer, I can perform a superficial examination of the existing artifacts, but I was not there while the IP that makes them up was being imported or committed. However, if the IPMC has seen fit to appoint you as a Mentor, I will defer to the collective judgment and assume that sufficient care has been exercised. > Message-id: <ce9e361e-737d-47e5-bf7a-bbcbffea3...@apache.org> > References: <f7bb5fb8-eb7f-4203-91d7-c7ea1cdb7...@apache.org> > <08051FA22EC442FA9D0A116651FBEE63@developer> > <510143ac0910190738s17179ba3k46170bffdc01b...@mail.gmail.com> > > I need to search in my send mail folder but I actually wrote an request > to the private incubator list to add me as mentor. Googling these message id's only turns up this post; since I'm not an ASF Member, I don't have access to the ap-mail archives on people.apache.org; sending mail to the private-get.1-2000@incubator.a.o failed; searching droids-dev and general@incubator.a.o via MarkMail did not turn up any indication of where the Mentorship appointment took place. Can somebody please help out with confirmation that Thorsten's request to become a Mentor for Droids went through? > > Lastly, I think it's worth commenting on the contents of README.TXT, which > > starts off like so: > > > > A p a c h e D r o i d s > > -------------------------- > > > > by Thorsten Scherler <thorsten at apache.org> > > > > That credit is obviously inaccurate and seems quite unusual for an Apache > > project.
