---------------------------------
Sorry, that's not very readable! There's also a rendered [HTML version of that
template|https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html].
That outlines the process that we need to go through and identifies steps like
making sure the code has appropriate headers, the software grant is received,
the code doesn't have any dependencies with incompatible licenses, ensuring
your contributors have signed individual CLAs and that Microsoft has a
corporate CLA with the Foundation, etc. It's a checklist for the whole process,
which is usually completed by an Apache member or the Avro VP (which is
[~tomwhite]).
For your legal department, the next steps from the checklist are:
* Complete the [software grant
agreement|https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt]
* Ensure you have a [CCLA on
file|https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt] (Microsoft may already)
* Ensure everyone that will continue contributing has an [ICLA on
file|https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt]
> Adding Microsoft C# Implementation to the project
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1625
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: csharp
> Reporter: Alexey Orlov
>
> In April 2014 Microsoft released to the public its own C# implementation of
> Avro. The code is completely new. The reasoning for the project was to
> overcome the limitations of C# implementation available as a component of
> Apache project at the time we have commenced the effort (early 2013). In
> particular:
> - Low performance
> - Missing support of serialization using Reflection
> Our implementation is called Microsoft Avro Library and available here
> https://hadoopsdk.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Avro%20Library (together with
> the code)
> Throughout 2014 we have released some updates, fixed bugs, added a feature
> and now would like to start a conversation about contributing our library to
> the project.
> Doug Cutting suggested I start a Jira issue for this conversation, so I’m
> following the advice (see
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-dev/201406.mbox/%3c50937b33cdf7ca46afcc1f1d04c6551a0a01b...@db3ex14mbxc327.europe.corp.microsoft.com%3e)
> Some background information on today’s state of the library:
> - The library supports binary serialization only
> - RPC support is NOT implemented
> - The library is compiled vs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. We have NOT
> tested it on other platforms (e.g. with Mono).
> And about me. I’m a Microsoft employee and Program Manager responsible for
> the project.
> Looking forward getting the feedback.
> Thank you,
> Alexey
