Hello everyone,

So if I get it right GSIP-311 has sufficient votes (three +1, no -1), but GSIP-312 doesn't (no -1, but only two +1). Does anyone else still want to add a vote?

Kind Regards

Niels

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.

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. Please discuss.

One question about copyrights though: the metadata module was mostly
written by me (who signed CLA) as part of a contract particular
government department. I believe they technically have copyrights, and
agreed to open source it. What would be required though? Should they
sign CLA for businesses?

Kind Regards

Niels
