All, We've completed most of the actions [1][2] per the IP clearance process [1] and the initiative is tracked by a Github issue [2]. The ICLA and software grants by the codebase/repo owner Sander van Harmelen has been acknowledged by ASF secretary@ to PMC and all contributors have been asked for any objections to the IP clearance / codebase relicensing/import initiatives. To date we've not received any objections from contributors and most contributors have agreed to this either over email thread or on the Github issue [2].
Now we need an Officer or Member of the ASF to (1) check and commit the completed IP clearance XML form ( https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/cloudstack-terraform.xml), (2) Start a vote on general@incubator, and finally (3) post the result thread and notify the ACS PMC that codebase are cleared for import. I had asked Paul last week who originally volunteered but hadn't seen any further action. Paul can you confirm if you can start a vote on incubator@ or are busy and aren't able to do so this time? If we don't hear from Paul in the next 72 hrs I propose we have our PMC chair Gabriel to volunteer or find a volunteer per [1]. (I'm happy to volunteer as well, looks like I can svn commit the XML file. I'll discuss/ask again on Wed) [1] IP clearance process: https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html#process [2] Github issue tracking IP clearance: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/5159 Regards.
