The instructions from page(http://opensolaris.org/os/about/sun_contributor_agreement/): Instructions for submitting the agreement * Register on opensolaris.org (you need to specify your username on the agreement). * Download and print out the Sun Contributor Agreement. * Sign the agreement. * Send the signed agreement to Sun: as a physical hardcopy Send your signed agreement via postal mail to: Sun Microsystems, Inc 17 Network Circle Menlo Park, CA 94025 United States Attention: Linda Bernal as a facsimile FAX your signed agreement to +1 650-745-3307 as a digital image Scan or photograph your signed agreement and email it to contrib-faxes AT sun DOT com. (Your scan or photograph should be of the complete page and at least 3 megapixels/180 dpi.) So I must print out and send the signed agreement, do you agree it's troublesome? At least I think so, and I suggest the agreement model adopted in linux kernel developement: just one line of Sign-off-by can solve the problem. Sign-off-by: Author-Name <Author-Email> So could you sun people simplify the agreement model? -- Cheng _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
