The Apache Geronimo project has completed incubation. Please go to the main project site :
This page tracked the project status, incubator-wise. Items marked DONE have been completed.
This page is of historical interest only.
We have recieved a mail a letter on behalf of the JBoss Group, LCC dated October 31, 2003 that asks for clarifications regarding similarity between parts of the Geronimo codebase and the JBoss codebase.
We are thus in the process of actively reviewing not only the specific claims but also the code base in general.
A small info page for Geronimo can be found here .
The wiki for Geronimo is at http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/
DONE Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product.
DONE If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names.
DONE If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
DONE If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted.
DONE Who has been identified as the Mentor for the incubation?
Geir Magnusson Jr. Jim Jagielski
DONE Are they tracking progress in the file
incubator/projects/{project_name}/status
DONE Have the papers that transfer rights to the ASF been received? It is only necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project.
(new codebase)
DONE Have the files been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright?
Verify distribution rights:
done except for questions about the Sun j2ee schemas. We are waiting for information from Geir on the Sun and Apache position on this question.
DONE Is all source code distributed by the project covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms?
DONE CVS modules created and committers added to avail file? DONE Mailing lists set up and archived? DONE Problem tracking system (JIRA)? DONE Has the project migrated to our infrastructure?
DONE Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?
DONE Are there three or more independent committers?
(The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.)
DONE Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it? (Not applicable)
