Paul,
Could you ask Jamie for permission
to use SourceForge? I seems like it should be easy since other projects
(like bpel) already use it. The only open question is the license
we should use. The complete list of licenses is here: http://opensource.org/licenses/
- I think OASIS might need to provide guidance as to the appropriate
license we should use.
thanks

Folks
Regarding CVS Jamie says (his full words below) we can use any CVS as long
as its stable, accessible, and a sand-box. Oh and OASIS has to approve
it.
I think any license will be pretty important too.
So if you guys have a proposal, lets take it to Jamie. He also hinted that
longer-term it would be sorted for us.

Short-term, the relevant rule (at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#2.8) allows TCs to keep
work at off-site servers if "designated" by OASIS. Which is to
say, if you
want to do something off-site that can't be done on-site, and you ask
staff, and it's reasonably configured to satisfy our policies and goals,
we're inclined to say yes.
-- This is new as of 15 April, so we're in early experiments.
-- "Reasonably configured," etc. includes, approximately, that
(a) that
it's under proper controls, so we have some reason to be confident of its
short-term stability and availability, (b) it's accessible to all TC
members and (c) limited to sand-box work in progress, so that items get
moved over to the regular system as they solidify.
-- Don't put anything there that can't be moved. In other words, we
may take resources in-house as capabilities grow, so this kind of
arrangement should not be used with the expectation of a proposed permanent
archival locations.
Should I regard this as a request? And if so, has the TC consented,
who's hosting, and have they committed to maintaining appropriate
short-term access and stability? Regards JBC
