Adopting Swiz
Hi,
As I mentioned in the "Adopting AS3Commons" discussion, the Software Grant
process is not always required to accept a code base under the Apache
License.
Over two years ago, we voted to accept the "donation" of the Swiz
framework. The donation was never completed because the donor never
completed the Software Grant process, probably because it was too
difficult to track down every past contributor and get their signature.
The same sort of email we will be sending to the past AS3Commons
contributors if we vote to adopt AS3Commons I am planning to send to the
past Swiz contributors and see if we can take in the Swiz code if we get
positive responses from the major contributors and no objections.
But I wanted to let everyone here know first in case there are objections.
Thoughts?
-Alex

Concerns like these were also brought up in the discuss and vote in
May/June 2013. We could run another discuss and vote. I noticed in the
prior vote that more than one non-binding vote was cast by folks who are
either now committers and/or PMC members. And it could be that the few
folks who did speak up on this thread might be motivated to help us get
builds and tests working by offering patches.

Hi,
Are there any committers who are will to get the tests set up in Jenkins, and answer any user questions and apply any patches we get?
From a quick look there’s only one copyright owner and no bundled code which makes it easier to accept and potentially no changes to license/notice. Have we double checked that it dependancies are all acceptable license wise? I notice that one of the dependancies is flexunit is anyone willing to change this to the Apache version?
There a list of the major contributors (with github details or email addresses) [1] which should help in contacting them.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi,
As I mentioned in the "Adopting AS3Commons" discussion, the Software Grant
process is not always required to accept a code base under the Apache

Over two years ago, we voted to accept the "donation" of the Swiz
framework. The donation was never completed because the donor never
completed the Software Grant process, probably because it was too
difficult to track down every past contributor and get their signature.
The same sort of email we will be sending to the past AS3Commons

past Swiz contributors and see if we can take in the Swiz code if we get
positive responses from the major contributors and no objections.
But I wanted to let everyone here know first in case there are objections.
Thoughts?
