Hey Niels! Not quite sure I understand the CLA question; if you did the work on behalf of a particular government department and had their permission/authority to donate to OSGeo then you should be good. If you are really interested in being careful you could ask the manager (whoever paid you or authorized the work) to sign a "Corporate contributor license <https://www.osgeo.org/wp-content/uploads/corporate_contributor.pdf>", and name the body of the work (metadata and csw-iso) as the contributed work in "Schedule B" at the bottom of the document.
Although it says "corporate" it is really: "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity > authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with the > Foundation. "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal > entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with > the Foundation. > So a government should be able to sign it. -- Jody Garnett On Apr 4, 2022 at 4:49:08 AM, Niels Charlier via Geoserver-devel < geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hello, > > I have written up two proposals to promote community modules "metadata" > and "csw-iso" to extensions. > > https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-311 > > https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-312 > > I believe stability, test coverage, users, are all okay.
