Subject: Re: [emergency-adopt] Agenda Item for Next Meeting: Sponsoring and Maintaining Reference Implementations
Hi all, I just wanted to chime in - no TC work can be done on SourceForge - the licensing is incompatible with the OASIS IPR Policy. You can manage code in an OASIS-hosted SVN repository. The question of whether the current charter would support the development/maintenance of a reference implementation is another question. Regards, Mary Mary P McRae Director, Standards Development Technical Committee Administrator OASIS: Advancing open standards for the information society email: mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org web: www.oasis-open.org twitter: fiberartisan #oasisopen phone: 1.603.232.9090 Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.
