Thanks for starting up this thread Pierre. I'd imagine that the first question we'll run into if we go for a TLP vote is whether all active committers are Esgyn employees? Looking at [1], how do I interpret the list. An iCLA was filed against Trafodion? I'm particularly interested in the non-Esgyn contributors. Some are ex-HPE/Esgyn employees? Have there lapsed or are active still?
Just trying to get ahead of this question when it comes up on the general.
