Hi Mathias,

In the current list, not everybody signed the ICLA, so why is it
important ?
As I understood it, the "list of initial committers" is just a
place for a declaration of intent to become a committer, while the
status of being
a committer is a specific role at Apache with its specific
requirements.
Being on the initial list just saves you from needing an invitation
to become a committer, but you nevertheless have to sign the ICLA
to become
a "real" committer.
I meant, when we compare : http://incubator.apache.org/projects/
openofficeorg.html (1) with http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/
OpenOfficeProposal (2)
We retrieve people in (1) who did not sign the ICLA as stated in (1).
But maybe the list on the wiki is not up to date ...
You should read the ICLA carefully before you decide that you can't
or don't want to sign it.
I did. But I thought we could contribute with patches without sign it.
Simply put, it's not about copyright, just about IP clearance and
licensing. Both are important aspects of every software project.
It's understandable that the ASF does not accept contributions
where it is unclear if the contributor has the necessary rights for
the contributed code.
Yes, sure. IWe got students who would like to directly contribute to
OpenOffice.org, and I'll forward the info.
Regards,
Eric
