Introduction
Hello all. My name is Adrian Crum and I am a PMC member of the Apache Open For Business project (OFBiz).
Apache OFBiz is an ERP application, and it contains some technologies that would be suitable for spinning off into stand-alone libraries.
One of those technologies is a Java object type conversion framework. I noticed that Commons has a dormant Convert sub-project, and I believe that would be a good place for our library. In other words, I would be interested in adopting the Convert project.
Another technology suitable for spin-off is our Temporal Expression library. You can read more about that in our Wiki - http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Temporal+Expressions. I'm not sure where that would fit into the Commons project. I expect it to be developed further into a complete calendaring code library.
Both of these technologies are written in Java, and they are already using the Apache 2 license.
The Apache OFBiz developer community supports my efforts to spin off these technologies, and some in the community would likely join any new projects they create.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or direction in this matter.
Thanks in advance!
-Adrian

Henri,
Thank you very much! Please allow me some time to get code committed to the sandbox - I wasn't expecting things to happen so fast.
I will look into Joda Time - thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Mladen/Adrian.
You've got karma to the sandbox now Adrian. Great to have you here,
and feel free to ask questions etc - you'll get lots of feedback.
Generally the aim is to follow the same approach as other projects in
terms of code style/build so that people can easily move over. Don't
do any releases while in the sandbox, when you feel the component is
ready to move into 'Proper' and then have releases you call a vote.
Generally it's expected that others will have got involved by then.
On the temporal expressions - basing it on Joda Time (if it's not)
would be cool. We've not had much fun trying to write solid code on
top of the standard Java date code :)

There's a very in depth and bureaucratic membership process.
Q1: What's your login?
Q2: Have you answered Q1? :)
On the Convert codebase - don't feel the need to have to adapt the
existing one unless you want to base your code on it. Stick it in as
'ofbiz-convert' or something and we can argue the name when it comes
to promotion time (you'll have my vote for the 'Convert' name to be
available).

Welcome! I am not on the PMC, but commons is a pretty easy place to work. If you would like to move Convert from dormant into the sandbox I suspect you would meet little resistence since the policy here is failry liberal with respect to giving ASF committers access to the commons sandbox.
