Hi all,
Jérémy Reynaud, CTO and co-founder of KeepCore, proposes to donated 2 of
their components [1], a dual slider[2] and a progress spinner[3], is there
any interests accepting those components as part of the Flex-sdk ?
I personally think the DualSlider could be a great addition, maybe the
ProgressSpinner too, those components have been world wide tested since a
good amount of time already (see the first post of the previous thread).
Thoughts ?
Thanks,
-Fred

I don't think a VOTE is strictly necessary. A DISCUSS might be nice,
though. Also, we need to make sure all legal obligations are met and
all proper documents are filed. When in doubt, we need to check with
Apache's legal department, I think.

Is there someone who can indicate the next steps or if we need a vote
before
accepting any new components ?

Hi Jérémy,
Everybody is busy at the moment, I guess that's the reason why you haven't
got so much returns but in few days, I'll put back this thread on the top.
Thanks,

Jérémy,
Note: I gave you a quick answer, like that you can have a good overview of
the process but more precise details will be given by our PMCs probably
later today.
Thanks,

Hi Jérémy,
First, thank you for your interest donating those components to Apache
Flex.
1- The components:
Given we've got progress component and we haven't got any dual slider
(Spark
& Mobile) and yours looks very nice, I would personaly go at least for the
latter, but I'm not only by myself and I not sure about the policies we've
got regarding how we choose the components they could be donated.
2- For the license, it depends, from what I've seen from now (most of that
was writen before by Alex Harui for other donations):
The ASF has a policy to not take software regardless of the license unless
the copyright holder grants it.
By signing the ICLA you have indicated that you have permission from the
copyright holder to make any contributions that you make.
I think steps are to file ICLAs [1], and a CCLA [2] if there is a
corporate
entity involved. Then fill out the software grant [3].
3- The donation process:
1. You fill out and sign all legal documents 2. Some of us will review the
code (it can be given via a zip associated to a JIRA ticket). If it looks
ok, we will start the committer approval process for you. Takes a minimum
of 3 business days.
3. We discuss where this code should land, the package names.
4. Once the software grant is recorded, someone can check the code into
SVN.
5. Once it is in, it gets another review. This means making sure there
are
no binaries, that the headers are correct, that your copyrights (but not
any
third-party copyrights) are moved to the NOTICES file (which must be done
by
you or with your explicit permission).
6. Based on 3, all kinds of good stuff happens.

Hi,
I’m Jérémy Reynaud, CTO and co-founder of KeepCore, company based in
Montpellier, France.
We propose commercial FLEX components on our dedicated website:
http://www.flex-component.com/
We recently think about releasing some of them on the website for free.
But maybe another and better solution could be to donate them to the
Apache
FLEX community.
So here are my questions:
- Does it make sense? Do you think these components are interesting for
the
community?
- If yes, what is the process to donate them?
The components are:
- A dual slider (Spark & Mobile), demo:
http://www.flex-component.com/demo/apache/KCDualSliderV1.1/
- A progress spinner / “super” busy indicator (Spark & Mobile), demo:
http://www.flex-component.com/demo/apache/KCProgressSpinnerV1.1/
Thanks for your answers.
Best regards,
Jérémy
