hello folks, with the openstack.org web team we're discussing ways to improve the user experience for all sorts of users of openstack tools, developers included. We're finalizing the design of the new openid provider portal so that it will be the ultimate place to hold the profiles of all people involved in openstack, from users, developers, people editing copy on the marketplace, etc. To keep this message shorter I put more details on my blog [1]
As you may know, right now the CLAs are required in the bylaws and they're a PITA to sign, for individuals and corporations alike. While the discussion to switch to DCO goes on, I think we should simplify what we have now since it's very easy to do. And whether we switch to DCO or not, this work to better connect gerrit with the People db (shall we call it this way?) is needed for other purposes, too. We already have most of the UI and infrastructure in place to make things simpler for all involved. The .org maintainers (in cc) and I met last week and speced out a proposal to better integrate information stored in gerrit and the People database. Your input is needed for the communication protocol between gerrit and the db. The specs are on the etherpad https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/New_Member_table_attributes_for_SS_db and the corresponding blueprint on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-ci/+spec/track-clas-signatures-in-ss Your thoughts are appreciated: how to do the initial sync of information between the two systems (gerrit and People) and how to keep them in sync afterwards*? Thanks,, stef * the 'afterwards' part could be after the first import and before we ditch Launchpad completely --something we will start discussing later, once openid is closer to live deployment.
