Congratulations on the successful vote, and welcome to Apache and the Incubator.
As we get the project set up, I just have a few questions about the legal stuff.
1. Who actually owns the copyright to the code? Piotr Gankiewicz developed the
code originally but was ownership transferred to LaserData? Whoever owns the
copyright should be identified on the first page of the grant ("Licensor") and
on the second page (Representing). If it is an individual then the Title should
be "owner". Similarly, there is a grant pending from Kranti Parisa, The
"Licensor" on this grant needs to be aligned with the Representing field.
2. There are only three or four (I'm not sure whether the bot needs to be
counted :-) significant contributors to the main repo. I did not have the time
to look at all dozen repos. Are other contributors/ proposed committers mostly
involved in the other repos?
3. The answer to #2 leads me to wonder why there are 12 repos. Unless the
ultimate objective is to create sub-projects it seems like unnecessary
complication and might make it harder for others to contribute. Take this as a
question, not as a suggestion to change it.
4. Most of the names listed in the proposal have "CLA signed". Since these are
not recorded in the Apache iclas.txt I assume this means that they have signed
a LaserData CLA? In this case, does LaserData own the copyright to the code, or
simply a license? If LaserData actually owns their contributions, then a grant
from LaserData is recommended.
5. The process will go much smoother if the ICLA has "iggy" listed as the
(optional) project.
Good luck,
Craig
