Hi Justin, I want to correct a misconception on the Incubator Report for October 2018 you stated.
“….most of the initial committers haven't signed ICLAs. They did however report this month.” I know for a fact that, in addition to me, these folks have signed ICLA as they are listed as committers on http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html: Go Yamamoto Kealan McCusker Patrick Hilt Stanislav Mihaylov Jan Willem Janssen That’s the entire PPMC list. I just want to point out that MIRACL, the company, filed a Software/Patent Grant and Corporate CCLA on Thursday, March 26, 2016 which covered the GitHub repos in question and from what I can see on the contributors listed to the repos they are covered/listed in the Corporate CCLA. I'm assuming that checks all the boxes then to port the GitHub repos in question over to the Milagro Apache Git repos, right? The folks listed in the CCLA are myself, Kealan, Patrick. @Giorgio, I have added you as a contributor to the project through the Whimsy page prematurely but have sent out a vote request to add you as a committer and PPMC person to the project. Thank you again for your enthusiasm. Go, Kealan, Patrick, Stan and Jan, please approve Giorgio for ascension. All, my current company, Qredo, intends to get actively involved in the project going forward and start contributing to the repository immediately. I was the initiator of the project back in 2016 along with NTT and I know from communication with them they would like to see this project going, given that we have both heard MIRACL may not be a viable entity much longer. Could either Nick, Justin, Stirling, Craig please make sure that within Whimsy the Corporate CCLA is listed as on file. It appears to not have been listed. I'm sure you have the records of receiving it on your end (Thursday, March 26, 2016) as we got an acknowledgement email from Craig ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) that same day. To reiterate I think it is in the best interest of the project to take the code in GitHub that was already covered under the CLA and do a merge into the Apache Git so we don't lose the years of development spent on it per Giorgio’s plan. I note that the code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Thanks Brian On Oct 16, 2018, at 12:10 AM, Justin Mclean <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, i signed the ICLA may years for Tuscany. Are you a committer/PPMC member of this project? I don't see you on the roster. Can i port the current miracle repository to Apache? Do we have ICLAs on file for all contributors to that repo? Has that code been covered by a software grant? Given it's in an external repo that's had, from what I understand, ongoing work I'm guessing the answer to both of those would be no?
