Ugh, sorry to bring this back again. Apparently my mind was playing tricks on me.

We don't have an ICLA from jbnote either. I incorrectly thought I saw him listed at http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html.

Well then, that's an easy resolution :)

Thanks, Ross (and everyone else). I'll just ignore the lack of CCLA and
make note of this.

jbnote is the unresponsive party in question. There are a modest
number of commits and changes from him.

Alex -- that's the thing. Aside from a "I'll get you a CCLA from my
employer" 2 months ago, I haven't heard anything from this fellow.

How big are the contributions in question?

Looks like the repo was placed under the Apache License long before
this individual contributed. So, IMO, if you are convinced this
individual and his employer knew his contributions were placed under
the Apache License you could gamble and accept his contributions. If
you get an objection later, you can delete and re-implement the
contributions.

My 2 cents,

Hi all,

(with my podling member hat on)

We have a bit of a problem over in Slider with a code donation. Full
details can be found at
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fiss
ues.apache.org%2fjira%2fbrowse%2fSLIDER-977&data=01%7c01%7cRoss.Gard

In short, an app-package (a modular chunk of code that Slider runs
on Apache Hadoop's YARN ) for Kafka was offered to be included in
Slider.
Slider would love to accept it. We've gotten IP clearance from all
but one party who contributed to it.

To the best of my knowledge, this individual contributed code to
this Kafka app-package and his company could also lay claim to his
contribution. He already had an ICLA on file, but no CCLA from his
company.

Two months later, multiple pings on JIRA and even a personal email,
this person seems to be AWOL. Given my understanding of the rules,
we can't proceed because we don't have the ability to prove all
potential previous ownership of this codebase has been granted to
the ASF.

Any advice on how we could try to move this forward?

Thanks.

- Josh
