Guys we need to wrap up this discussion. I'm not sure where are we
standing but still have a bunch of questions.
Hi Hernan,
Agreed. Sorry I've been out due to some family health issues...
A few things that look clear to me thus far
- We'll request every contributor to submit a CLA. Filing
instructions are provided in the Individual Contributor License
Agreement itself available here http://www.apache.org/licenses
- Every contributor will have to expressly communicate intention for
contributing with the project's documentation sending a email to [email protected]
I'd be happy with that.
Some things still pending
- Having a CLA on file will suffice to grant edit access to the doc
or we'll seek PMC voting?
I don't think a vote is necessary.
- Although a CLA is ASF wide we should provide access to only those
interested in contributing to Geronimo's documentation. Do we
already keep a separate list?
Not that I know of.
- When do we make effective such access restriction?
As soon as we have a decision.
- What Confluence spaces will be affected?
- How do we deal with existing content? We can not apply this
retroactively.
We can investigate what our risks are. Ask for old contributors to
submit a CLA and document their past submissions are licensed to the
ASF. I don't really know what are options will be. Anyone care to find
out?
Once all these are sorted out I'll update the Apache Geronimo
Policies on the web site (http://geronimo.apache.org/project-policies.html
) to reflect these changes
Sounds good.
