Hi,

CCLA are optional [1][2], software grants [3][4] are required. So yes that’s an additional requirement, SG give the ASF the rights to use to code that is donated.

Hi Hadrian, thanks so much for setting up the infrastructure. I will ask the remaining individuals to submit their ICLA and also ask Litbit to submit it’s CCLA. I will likely volunteer to take care of the initial admin duties until we get a flow of communication and a decision making via the mailing lists is established. Thanks for submitting the first first monthly report. Is the code grant process you are referring to below the CCLA or is it an additional requirement?

The git repo is however available and we can start the code grant process (by litbit, whom afaik owns the IP). Committers should continue to submit the iclas and subcribe to lists.

I took the liberty tho submit the report for this month [1], but I expect one or more committers to step up (the ASF is a meritocracy) and take care (with help) of admin duties. Once most everybody subscribes to the list, such communication should happen on the (mailing) lists.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Accept the iota project into the Apache Incubator
Posted by Hadrian Zbarcea <ha...@apache.org>.
Hi,
A bit of status. Most of the infrastructure is created. The Jira space
is waiting for a reboot of the system and will only be available next
Tue. The git repo is however available and we can start the code grant
process (by litbit, whom afaik owns the IP). Committers should continue
to submit the iclas and subcribe to lists.
The project needs to submit a report to the incubator quarterly (monthly
for the first 3 mo). I took the liberty tho submit the report for this
month [1], but I expect one or more committers to step up (the ASF is a
meritocracy) and take care (with help) of admin duties. Once most
everybody subscribes to the list, such communication should happen on
the (mailing) lists.
Best,
Hadrian

Hi Hadrian, thanks for setting this all up. I have already sent in my ICLA and I hope that the other contributors will follow this week. We are working on our corporate CLA and that too should be in place soon. We are excited about the creation of this community and we look forward to others participating.
Again thanks for setting up the iota polling we hope this will become a vibrant community of interest for many individuals and corporations alike.

Hi Tony, Reza,
I found time this weekend to setup the iota podling. The proposal is now
listed in the index or proposals [1]. The project status page [2] is
setup and listed in the incubator list [3]. I will maintain the status
page in the early phases. I created an issue for infra to create the
project resources [4] (mailing lists, git repo, etc). This should not
take long.
Please review the incubation policy on setting up a new podling [5].
What you'll need to do (or complete, because I think you already
started) is the CLAs (individual and corporate), orientation (it really
helps) and the code grant and IP clearance.
Feel free to get in touch with me as necessary to coordinate. It'll get
easier once the mailing list are created.
Best,
Hadrian
