This morning the Subversion committers formally applied for inclusion in the Apache Incubator[1], the first step toward joining the Apache Software Foundation. Subversion is a large and growing community, and this step makes it possible for us to maintain that momentum, while also accessing the resources that come from being part of the ASF. CollabNet, as well as other vendors, will continue to sponsor, ship and support Subversion during and after this process. More information about the announcement can be found in the press release[2]. The next few months of transition will include discussion and decisions as we move various pieces of the Subversion project to Apache infrastructure. We will use the same consenus-based decision process we've always used to determine what to do with the source repository, mailing lists, and bug tracker. These discussions will happen on the development mailing list, and as always, patches are welcome to help move this work forward. This announcement comes as the result of several months worth of work by many members of the Subversion community, CollabNet and the ASF. Thanks to them for their work, and to each of you for making Subversion a great project. I feel this is a great step for the forward movement of Subversion, and I'm excited about our potential moving forward! -Hyrum [1] http://incubator.apache.org/ [2] http://www.open.collab.net/news/press/2009/svn-asf.html ------------------------------------------------------ http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=2414473 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]].
