Elaborating a bit more on this phase of the contributor onboarding pipeline:
> 3. John Doe fills a simple form and selects the username "doejohn", which is not an ASF id, but just a handle to a people.apache.org page. If an ASF id exists with the same name, then the request is rejected. This form is essentially an electronic CLA. On the first commit, the contributor receives a link to this form in the welcome message from peo...@apache.org congratulating on the first commit. When the contributor becomes a committer later on, it no longer needs to fill a CLA since this was already done via this initial form. If the contributor ignored the welcome message and did not fill the CLA, then it will need to fill it when becoming a committer. After filling the electronic CLA the first-time contributor receives a guest account on ASF slack, and is invited to the USER and DEV channels of the project it contributed to. When the user contributes to other projects, it's added to the USER and DEV accounts of the projects it contributed to, but still as a "guest" member - it cannot join ASF slack channels of projects it did not contribute to. When the contributor becomes a committer, its slack guest account is converted into a slack "member" account (which is not an ASF member account). From this point on, the contributor can join the slack channel of any project - even the ones it did not contribute to. This would solve the issue of project contributors not even knowing about ASF slack existence. On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 8:23 AM Paulo Motta <pa...@apache.org> wrote: > This is right Claude.
