Having a CLA for contributions prior to CloudSoft's donation of the project to the ASF is awesome... that gave you the right to do the donation (I assume, since I have not read the CLA). That said, the older agreement has no standing for the ASF. See my comments in reply to Richard's email about the way that we ensure that someone wanted to donate *to Apache Brooklyn* vs something else. > > Presumably we need to check whether a person has a CLA on file with the ASF. > Is there a checklist of other things? CLA's are not strictly required, and there is a bit of a fuzzy gray area about the size of a contribution that triggers the requirement for an ICLA. Small patches, don't worry about it... larger patches, start considering it. As an aside, it seems to me that if you have people that have been consistently contributing enough to the project that you know they have CLA's on file with Brooklyn, but were not added as initial contributors during the donation process, PPMC should plan on actively inviting these folks to be committers (discussion of specific names should be done on [email protected]). > > And how can we check whether someone has a CLA w ASF ? > > (It's just half a dozen contributors or so for the commits since the SGA so > shouldn't be too hard to confirm these once we know the process.) > > --A > > > On 29/05/2014 21:11, Chip Childers wrote: > >Given David's comment and note about Brett's concerns with the usergrid > >workflow, it would make sense to get the change over done now. > > > >One of the challenges that we have right now is that the SGA was sent in > >to donate the Brooklyn code to the ASF.
