earnest, eagerness to get things done.

Also please see the Apache Infrastructure service offerings.

BTW - This project, here, on this list *IS* the Apache Flex community.

The name of the domain itself may be infringing.=20

http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/#domains

and

You could certainly donate the domain name to the project. Even if it is =
nothing more than a redirection to the project it then protects the =
Apache Flex brand.
