Hi Stefan, It looks like both projects (Hamilton and Burr) are in a healthy state.
I can act as a mentor and help with championing if that suits. One item to decide on is if you want to create 2 separate podling committees or if you want to create 1 committee that manages 2 separate source repositories with independent releases. You would also need to get the existing code owners to agree to the license change from BSD to Apache licensed. If the existing contributors have signed CLAs giving DAGWorks ownership that would make it easier. Otherwise, we will need to track down the historic contributors to ask them to agree to the license change. After that, we will need to put together one or two proposal documents. Example: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/OzHeraProposal I would prefer to be hands off on doing this sort of effort but can help with reviewing the work. I think it is important that podling committees can look after their own administrative tasks.
