[Fwd: ASF grant for UIMA]
The Software Grant for UIMA-EE has been officially received by the
secretary of Apache. I'll proceed to 1) put in a Jira issue with a zip
file for it, and 2) set up in the sandbox under
sandbox
trunk
uima-ee
project 1
project 2 etc.
the files for this. As part of this, I plan to reconfigure the parts to
follow the maven conventions.

Hello,
I'm writing this email to inform you that the grant for UIMA from IBM
was received. I'm sorry that you seem to have been kept out of the loop,
as I replied to other emails saying that it had been received although
it wasn't entered into the registry. This is probably my fault as I
didn't make sure that the email I sent to others was received by you.
I'm very sorry that this has taken so long, and the grant should be
recorded later today.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Jagielski

everything done by any podling is the responsibility of the top level
incubator project. but the IPMC delegates the work and most of the
decision making downwards.

the IPMC is the receiving PMC. however, the IPMC asks that PPMCs do
most of the work for themselves and typically adopts the advice of
PPMCs. so, if a PPMC decides that they want a codebase, providing that
the grant is ok (from a legal perspective), the IPMC is almost certain
to wave it through.

your mentors will be either officers or members. so this is an
occasion when you need to ask a mentor for some help (after preparing
the documentation).
(AIUI the main reason for requiring is that the grants documents are
registered in a repository private to officers so only officers and
members can verify the grant.)

Hi Robert -
I have some confusion about the IP form. The page
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html seems to be written
with an implicit assumption that a "Top level project" with a real,
project level PMC is doing the receiving - so there are phrases like:
The receiving PMC is responsible for doing the work. The Incubator
is simply the repository of the needed information. Once a PMC
directly checks-in a filled-out short form, the Incubator PMC will
need to approve the paper work after which point the receiving PMC
is free to import the code.
Other places say that this IP Clearance work needs to be done by an ASF
Officer or Member: for instance, on page
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html it says:
IP Clearance processing must be executed either by an Officer or a
Member of the ASF.
So, my basic question is: does this process apply to incubator projects
which, while incubating, receive additional code via a software grant,
and if so, is the "receiving PMC" the Incubator PMC or the
podling-learning-mode-unofficial-PMC (of which I think I am a member)?
And, if we are to use the IP Clearance form, how do we have the
processing "executed" by an Officer or Member of the ASF?
Thanks for your help and guidance, as usual :-) -Marshall
