Hi Łukasz thanks for your proactivity, as said before, you guys are more than welcome :) Please follow my replies below, inline to your questions, to maintain easy reading the email:
> > 1) What is the procedure at ASF for moving code into an Apache repository? I > think we should get a committer access to AMBER? I think - and everybody agrees IMHO - that there are absolutely no problem in accepting you as committers and giving you the writing access on SVN, but there are few procedures to get familiar with the apache way, please have a quick look at [1] and [2]. So, to make things fast, I suggest you creating initially patches on Apache Issue tracker[3], that would help us justify why we invite you guys as new committer, otherwise giving the access to people that just joined the ML would be hard to justify to the Foundation. On a side note: please attach the ASL2.0 header in each file, it is a requirement, and don't forget grant the ASF to the submitted code. I suggest you starting filling the ICLA[4] and send it to the ASF in order to speed up the procedure to accept you as committers. > 2) We hope to keep the library name (leeloo) and package names as people > blogged about it, mentioned in tweets, dzone, etc? Unfortunately, that won't be possible :( The project name is Apache Amber and can't be changed, the package has to be 'org.apache.amber.*'. BTW Bloggers and journalists could write about this leeloo update/evolution. > > I'll be looking forward to your reply.

I'll send you also technical details as soon as I'll find spare time.
