Justin, I'm running into a bit of chicken/egg problem in terms of process for donating source code.
To frame the problem: Part of the code is already released as open-source, which is available in the github repository. Part of the code is yet to be released since it was developed internally by Cengage. Cengage wishes to donate the code to Apache, but is unable to do so until the project is accepted as an Incubator project. The Apache community members looking to approve the project understandably would like to better understand what they are approving and so would like to get access to the code which is to be donated. I'm sure you've seen similar issues in the past and I'm looking for some advice/options to be able to move forward. --carl From: Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2019 4:35 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org <general@incubator.apache.org> Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] MetaObjects for Apache Incubator Hi, > Currently most development is happening within Cengage.

That code is part of what is proposed to be donated to the apache-metaobjects project. Thanks for that, I still a little unclear what code base is being donated. I’m just asking as that may make the IP transfers process easier or harder, you might have to get ICLA from people who have worked on it in the past for instance. > Regarding the mentor list, I saw the Apache committer list included Heath, > but misunderstood that being a committer did not imply ASF membership, which > was my mistake.

We would welcome another mentor if anyone is interested in helping build a community around the project. I think it would be best for a project if you had an mentor with some more experience. It can be difficult if you mentors go missing or if they may not be familiar with recent changes in infrastructure or the incubator.
