In all honesty, while the ASF as a whole doesn't have a true strategy, or expect projects to work to benefit each other, I do think in this situation it makes a lot of sense to think about the various communities at the ASF and do some thinking around what makes the most sense for a user of Apache products (independent of past, present, future employers). There are some PMCs that exist to support the implementation of a Java EE specification. There are other PMCs that support Java EE but also come up with very easy ways to make their product work independent of Java EE. By being independent of any specific application server, projects like Johnzon, OpenWebBeans can go ahead and be leveraged in other products. This gives those products broader reach by being fully independent. By putting Sheldon and Chatterbox directly into the TomEE PMC's hands, you are closely tying the products together. One other idea that I heard throw around was creating an EE commons type of project. It could handle these off to the side projects that are really maintained by the ASF #usualSuspects and make it clear that they really work across many different platforms, similar to the original premise behind Apache DeltaSpike. On the flip side, I'm not convinced that Geronimo is that project either. Hmm, if not then G should have moved to attic. It is here exactly for that purpose. Anyway back to the original topic: it sounds like faking tomee figures ...to fake them. Probably better to enter these projects by another way for tomee and themselves like incubator, the EE umbrella project or other - keeping them on github can also makes sense estimating their future activity maybe, no?
