It's probably to avoid any confusion with the other Andrei 
Alexandrescu. (warning big LOL)

My impression of Apache foundation stuff is it is a graveyard of 
other people's abandoned stuff.... not the message I'd want to 
send.

Are you sure? Is it true to hadoop, spark, thrift, tomcat, maven?

A double handful of high-profile projects and a bunch of abandoned 
projects. It's better than a random slice of sourceforge or github by a 
large margin.

I know what you tried to say. You're right and wrong. :D. Yes, 
ASF got lots of trash but 1/2 of that list is alive and useful.

http://www.apache.org/index.html#projects-list  - Some projects 
are definitely killer.

Linux Foundation is another option.

The Linux Foundation is less appropriate for what it intended to be a 
cross-platform application.  And the FSF wants it's projects to be GPL.  
Of the major ... repositories isn't the right word, but what is? ... 
Apache seems the most appropriate choice.  GitHub, e.g., doesn't seem to 
be quite the same category of thing.
