Change of my role(s) in Apache Software Foundation.
Hi.
I just want to inform you that I received yet another role.
I am, as of yesterday evening (board meeting), V.P. of Apache Labs or in
more normal language Chair in project LABS.
This has no influence on my commitment to corinthia actually quite the
opposite.

Incubation is totally appropriate.

Yup that would be a good LABS project.

Yes and no....for Corinthia Incubator is the right way, because LABS
currently only allow existing committers to participate.
At LABS we have been playing with the thought of focusing on projects that
are too small for incubator. I have seen a number of projects die, because
they were told to
go somewhere else, build a community and then come back. However this is
only thoughts nothing real at this point.

Congratulations!
I had noticed LABS before, and mused about it. I saw your appointment on the Board Minutes and realized I'd forgotten what Apache LABS was!
For me, an obvious LABS project would be DCF for providing implementations of the ISO/IEC Document Container File profile of Zip as a container for composite documents and such, rather than as file-system archives.
It would also be a good sandbox for exploring more and better ways to deliver code to the Windows platform, something I am keen about.
Just the sort of thing I think about that could be done on LABS probably more easily than on SourceForge (well, on SourceForge, releases can be done though).
I noticed an interesting statement on LABS about restraints on code base status for entering incubation. In that respect, Corinthia entering incubation was perhaps slightly premature (although I am not complaining). Is that LABS statement actually current?
