SpamAssassin went ASF
30 12 2003What was long announced finally became true. Last week we made the first actual step for the move over under the hood of the Apache Software Foundation. Within three months we (actually mostly Justin, Daniel and Theo; thanks guys!) had collected CLAs from all the people who ever contributed to SpamAssassin (and whose contributions still were in the codease). Admittedly did we have to drop some contributions from people who did not want or were not able to sign a CLA; but those weren’t too many.
So after Justin had frozen the SourceForge CVS repository last week, our new shiny Subversion repository went online this weekend. At the same time, the developer list at SourceForge was closed and was moved to the ASF servers. More changes to come.
We’re still lingering in the Incubator though. That’s maybe not too bad because I still need some time to read the SVN Book and get used to all those new ASF terms (PMC, PPMC, Podling, Landing Something, etc.). Might the hacking start again soon.
