Swiz Donation: Next Steps (was Re: [VOTE][RESULTS] Oprtional
MVC/IOC Frameworks Donation: Swiz Framework Donation)
Yes, Chris needs get on our email list and put it in writing that he wants
to donate.
I think we need some proof of ownership. Does he own the code or some
corporation or business entity that he belongs to.
I think he will need to sign an ICLA.

Hi Justin,
I send Chris some emails to ask him for action, but no response yet. I just
post in the swiz group mailing list some minutes ago since I don't know
what's happening. Maybe Chris is very busy? or maybe some email
communication problem? Really I don't know...
I'll continue pinging trying to get some response from him
Best,
Carlos

I can verify this from my experience with FlexUnit. It's a multistep process. This is what Bertrand provided me a while back and it's the starting point Chris must likely follow:

We could not in good conscience accept a donation without written, clear
intentions from the author. I suspect it will require a software grant and
the author will need to go through some legal paperwork to assent that he
has ownership of the code and is willing to donate it to the ASF.
I need to get more familiar with the details of what is required for the
ASF to accept software donations, but it's a complicated subject and time
is short. I do know that we want to be very sure we have all the details in
order so we can be confident in saying that we have the right to continue
to produce the software.

Yes, because I am the author of many parts of the SDK, but I never "owned"
it, Adobe did.

hehe I only want to say that history is written in the internet so is easy
to prove that Chris Scott is the author, but I see that he must prove it
himself.
better wait for his email to follow up :)

Ugh. I have to watch a video? What am I looking for in that video?
But what I think really matters is what the source code and on-line
documentation says.
Once I see his email, then we should go take a harder look.

Hi Alex,
I emailed Chris just after the vote results email and I'm waiting for his
response. Hope he could write us soon.
For ownership I think he is the only owner of repo, but could this be valid?
