Hi all! Things are moving along and we're getting close to wrapping up the software grant. Apache folks and our mentors have seen the proposed document from Oracle and Oracle is now getting the document signed.
After that, Jaroslav Tulach and others will be welcome to experiment with moving hg.netbeans.org/releases to an Apache Git repo and experiment there with Jenkins and other release management tools. However, before that, I recommend we put up some thoughts on the Wiki about ideas we have for how to organize code and so on. Here's the Apache Transition document we've worked on together in different ways: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition Would be great to surface some of the discussions we've had on this mailing list and put them up as proposals similar to this one by Jan Lahoda: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Experiment%3A+split+the+main+NetBeans+repository Also, note I have put a draft monthly podling report up here together with the others: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2016 Comments/thoughts are more than welcome, in fact, needed. Thanks, Gj
