This message was forwarded to the board list at least once before. I sent
him one reply inviting him to a meeting and never received a reply.

Subject: Hosting a project at SPI

Hello,

My name is Grzegorz Jakacki, I am a team leader of OpenC++ software
project (opencxx.sourceforge.net). OpenC++ is a mature open-source C++
program transformation framework, distributed under non-copyleft
open-source license.

I am writting to solicit information about possibility of winning support
of Software in Public Interest for OpenC++.

Recently I worked together with Stefan Seefeld who is a project leader of
Synopsis, a project hosted at SPI. Synopsis is in part based on OpenC++,
and recently Stefan and myself came to conclusion that the common part of
those two could and should be factored out and extended into reusable
library, nicknamed OpenC++ Core.

As Synopsis is hosted at SPI it would help if OpenC++ Core could be hosted
here too. Thus my question is how should OpenC++ Core project apply for
hosting at SPI, what information should it provide to support application,
and what is an expected timeframe for SPI to decide on this matter.

Thank you
Grzegorz

I've posted a couple of reminders to that effect in the last 8 weeks..

Yes, see above. I replied inviting him to the October meeting but have
heard nothing further.
