Specifically, I think what you'd want to do, just like you would at jakarta-commons, is submit a proposal based upon the example listed at <http://db.apache.org/commons/charter.html#Example%20Package%20Proposal>
Like jakarta-commons, you'll need 3 +1s from existing db-commons committers (enumerated at <http://db.apache.org/commons/team-list.html>) If we are unable to rouse a quorum of 3 developers on the db-commons list, the DB PMC could step in and name additional committers, likely including you, as an existing jakarta-commons committer. Assuming the other sql developers (if any, I haven't really dug into it) are in favor of moving to db-commons, I know I'd vote +1 (as a db-c committer). Jason and James would make three, if they'd like. On Fri, 19 Dec 2003, Thomas Mahler wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > All comments from db pmc members were positive.
