Invitation to participate in Apache J2EE efforts
As you may have heard by now, the Apache Software Foundation has initiated a
project to develop an open source, Apache-licensed implementation of the
J2EE specification. In addition, the project is committed to certifying the
implementation as J2EE compliant. This is an ambitious goal and will present
a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of
technologies covered by the specification.
The project (tentatively named "Apache Geronimo") builds upon the many Java
projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is
bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB
communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved
in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to
join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation.
The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE
compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship
with Sun Microsystems, provides the Foundation with access to the J2EE TCKs,
making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and
unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants
to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own
solutions upon the platform.
Apache Geronimo has been launched within the Apache Incubator. You can find
more information about the Incubator at http://incubator.apache.org/. To
find out more about this project or if you would like to become involved,
please send email to the incubator mailing list: general@incubator.apache.org
On behalf of the Apache Geronimo Team,
Greg Stein,
Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation

By the way, why didn't you post this news to annoucements@jakarta?
There are many people who subscribe to announcements@jakarta
and not to announce@apache ... I think it would be nessesary
in order to make this news effectual to J2EE-minded folks
to announce this news at announcements@jakarta, too.

Interesting. I have not seen a single mail on general@incubator.apache.org
mentioning such a project before. The exception is a mail containing a
proposal sent by Geir Magnusson Jr. which arrived 9 minutes earlier.

Not yet. The next Board meeting is August 20th, where we'll (hopefully)
review the minutes and approve them. At that point, they can be posted to
the web site (see http://www.apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html).

At the ASF Board meeting on July 16, the Board effectively directed the
Incubator to accept a proposal to start a J2EE project. The past several
weeks has been spent pulling that together, along with the initial list of
committers, and whatnot.
To some extent, the Incubator doesn't have a choice :-) They could say "we
don't have the people", but as with all Incubator projects, the "shepherds"
and other do-ers are expected to come along with the proposal.

Excellent! Discussion will be here on general@incubator until the project
gets its own mailing lists [for technical discussion]. As with any Apache
project, participation is easy and welcome!
