Hi, Thanks for the interesting proposal.
There's a couple of things I'm curious if the project has considered (list below). Keep in mind while I know of NuttX I’m not part of it’s community or know it well. - Apache has a no dictator rule (friendly or otherwise), given there’s a person who may be in that role currently in the project, are they fine with giving up control to the rest of the community? - The contributors may need to sign ICLAs. Given the number of people involved and the age of the project, if this ia required, it might be difficult. - Given the large number of committers, I expected the initial committer list to be much larger, have you considered inviting all of the major committers? - What does the community as a whole think abut this move? I can see this here [1], but I was a little surprised there wasn’t more public discussion about this. Is there consensus that they want to join the ASF and understand what that means? - Is the community aware of some of the issues they may encounter in moving to ASF infrastructure and doing things in an Apache Way? (release process usually being the main difference). - I notice you mention BSD-4 cause in you list of licenses, this is actually Category X and not compatible with the ALv2 license. However if it is what I think it is, it easy to work around (as we did for Mynewt). If the proposal does come to the Incubator, (and the project thinks I'm a good fit), I can help out as a mentor. I‘m mentored a number of IoT projects here at Apache, including Mynewt.
