Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017

2017-09-20 Thread Ed Cable 
Markus,

I agree that we should start having all active members of the community get
Apache iCLAs in place so that those are on file and the process for making
them a committer in the future can go more smoothly.

Given GCI isn't all related to code development and also includes tasks
around outreach/documentation/etc, not all mentors need to be active
committers. But I do want to take these as the impetus to move towards
granting committership to these active and publicly contributing community
members.

All,

For those who have expressed an interest in mentoring but don't have an
Apache Individual Contributor Level Agreement on file, please download,
sign, and email the following https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf to s
ecret...@apache.org.

You can read more about the processing of submitting an Apache iCLA by
looking at  https://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla and
https://www.apache.org/licenses/#submitting
