Hi all, I have just added a new page to the PLC4X website, however it’s not yet linked in the navigation and therefore should remain invisible until Google indexes this email ;-) It will be available soon from here (As soon as Jenkins is done): https://plc4x.apache.org/users/commercial-support.html
What we have there is pretty inspired by the support page of the Apache Royale project: https://royale.apache.org/royale-commercial-support/ However I used some different wording and a different proposal for a process to add entries. I would suggest to use PRs as this way we can have the account of the PR creator on-file in git-blame. Which might come in handy if there should ever be problems. We were told that in general everyone would be required to have him/herself added to that list no matter their involvement with the project. That’s why I decided to start with this in my proposal. I think with a column on the level of involvement should separate the true contributors from the others. I think there were also voices that said that an alternative would be a PMC vote, but with very strict rules to how this vote should be done and all votes should have to be performed without any individual bias. I asked the Royale project on how they dealt with entry requests to that list … they sort of laughed as they didn’t seem to really get any requests at all. What’s your opinion on this … also the ASF’s opinion is greatly appreciated as we don’t want to do anything that could harm the ASF. So I would really like to do it the way I proposed it, but that’s just my opinion … your other opinions are worth just as much (Well ok … the ASF’s opinion will probably weigh more ;-) ) Chris
