https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf should be filled in and submitted.
It covers all Apache projects so you only do it once. It specifically mentions documentation.

It is also important to note that if a contributor works for a company and works on Apache projects on company time or has signed an employment agreement that gives the employer rights to all work that they do while they are employed, Apache needs a corporate CLA https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt wherein the corporation cedes the rights to Apache. Unfortunately the PMC needs to trust the individual contributors to be aware of the status of the rights to their work and do the right thing. If you suspect that a contributor is in this situation, it is worth asking the questions about their employment and getting a CCLA signed.

These are not onerous but are a sign that a project takes its work seriously and intends to have people integrate their products into production environments without having to worry about legal entanglements.

This sounds like it isn't needed currently, correct?

I will see if I can locate my confluence credentials, sure I had these circa 
2013!

Do I assume the broader answer to my question is that this is the most up to 
date resource? I see another person ask noob question so wondered if I had 
missed something.

If anyone with cloudstack chops has a spare 10 minutes to look over the current 
guide with me I'd be more than happy to work the changes back in to the wiki. 
I'll even hand over all rights to Apache.

You may want to own the wiki content as well as the software.

A company may want to quote the wiki or incorporate some of it into their 
documentation without having to get the rights from each person who contributed 
to the page.


Even more complicated if someone posts a design or an enhancement and then 
claims to own it and patent it.

It is good practice to make sure that Apache owns it all (code, docs, test 
cases, enhancements, patches)  and that you can use it all without legal 
problems under the Apache license.

Why do you say that Ron? You need one to become a committer. for the
wiki we need to recognise you as a contributor. I think you need no
more.

Alex,
Do you have a CLA on file with Apache.
You should have one to contribute to the wiki.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with this.

I have an open PR on the repo readme.md, minor documentation change but
somehow is breaking the build. My guess is it's something unrelated on
master.

We need to amend. As of 4.10 we are on jdk 8.

I will have to review it and see what needs to be done to bring it up to
date.

Asking as I want to be sure I'm getting myself setup correctly.

I appreciate setup guides may not necessitate lots of amendments however
4
years seemed a long time to go with nothing. Are we still on JDK 6 for
example?

More than happy to amend Confluence with updates as I come across them.

Hello all,



I note this was last amended 2013, is there a better/more recent
resource for the aspiring CloudStack developer?
