Based on my understanding, many people (yourself included) have run into this problem. Seems to me as though the Apache community doesn't like this, and forces all incoming developers to change the way they work in order to better fit the Apache Way. Seems awfully intrusive from a new-employee standpoint. It seems to me like it's in Apache's best interest to either collectively not care about this sort of thing, or help provide a fix on their side, rather than potentially asking every incoming developer to change the way they work. > Also, If I left IBM I would most likely > continue working on the projects that I'm currently part of > so a private e-mail allows me that freedom. Well, not really -- I think that it's the ICLA and the employment laws in the US that allow you to continue working on projects after leaving IBM. I'd be surprised if Apache would not allow people with new email addresses to participate in projects. -Patrick _______________________________________________________________________ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.
