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
