Thanks for this, IIUC this is described at http://jclouds.apache.org/documentation/devguides/contributing-to-jclouds/ which looks quite good to me, as you indicate having your canonical repository on Apache infrastructure and cutting releases from that is a requirement. There's two things that could be added IMO: 1) Apache accepts only voluntary contributions, your PMC needs to be able to demonstrate that every contribution is intentional. For this it might be good to have a phrase like "by creating a pull request against our github repository you indicate your willingness to contribute your code to Apache jclouds" on that page and/or in the top-level README files of your modules. 2) Contributors should be made aware of http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt and http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt, and the PMC should ask for an iCLA for "substantial contributions", whatever that means. http://db.apache.org/derby/faq.html#derby_icla is a reasonable way to explain that IMO, I'd just add a mention of the CCLA which Apache does not require but which people who are employees often need. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
