[RESULT][VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator
The BeanShell proposal started a vote thread to join the Incubator and received some -1 votes. No discussion or changes where made after that and the vote was never closed.

Re: [VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator
Its good that we can help keep BeanShell going by bring it to the ASF, but my vote here is -1. There was some discussion on this proposal back in April and one of the last emails there was this one saying: If the intention is to have Beanshell become a part of Apache Commons then the IPMC feels that Apache Commons should do the work there. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201304.mbox/%3ccaaqlglpwaqgtje3pwievcphtgub7gwc5lnazkdruxpnwsgn...@mail.gmail.com%3E There was no further discussion that i can see after that until this vote now. It seems pointless to me to incubate this. Half the committers are ASF members so they know what they're doing already, we're not going to teach Sebb anything new about doing releases, and the intention is to become a sub project of the commons PMC so that PMC is going to be able to provide any additional oversight that may be needed. All thats needed is a software grant and IP clearance (which from the previous discuss thread has already been done?) and start up right away in Commons. What is it that we're going to do here at the Incubator with this? What value are we going to add? ...ant

Re: [VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator
Hi, I am happy to assign the BeanShell name, domain name, etc. to ASF. These names are not actively used elsewhere for any purpose. BeanShell was the subject of a JSR to standardize it as a scripting language for the JVM, but that JSR went dormant years ago and there are no plans to revive it. (Unless ASF would like to do so). I am happy that ASF has adopted BeanShell and I'd like to help with the project in the future to the extent that my time allows. thanks, Pat Niemeyer (BeanShell project founder) Begin forwarded message: -- Forwarded message -- From: Christian Grobmeier grobme...@gmail.com Date: Fri, May 24, 2013 at 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator To: general@incubator.apache.org general@incubator.apache.org On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 9:30 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz bdelacre...@apache.org wrote: Hi Simo, On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 9:23 AM, Simone Tripodi simonetrip...@apache.org wrote: ...We would like to propose BeanShell for the incubator Sorry if I missed a previous discussion - is the name ok for us?
