All;

 

The ONAP project requires that contributions are covered under a Contributor
License Agreement for incoming code in addition to a DCO, as per Section 7a
of the Technical Charter
<https://www.onap.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2018/01/ONAP-Project-a-Ser
ies-of-LF-Projects-LLC-Technical-Charter-12-22-2017-FINAL.pdf> .  Enforcing
this requirement of the Charter is something that the TSC has elected to
postpone four times in the past two years. ALL CONTRIBUTORS MUST BE AWARE
that CLA enforcement will take effect on Monday, July 8th. 

 

Once enabled any contributors, whether corporate or independent, will not be
able to commit code unless a signed CLA is on file for the email address
associated with the person making the code contribution. In a nutshell, when
you go to make a commit if a CLA has not been associated with the Gerrit
account you are using, your commit will be blocked and you will be
automatically re-directed to the CLA tool. Once signed your address is
whitelisted and your commits can continue unimpeded. 

 

As CLAs these are legal agreements on May 29th I send out Individual emails
to the leadership contacts at 35 different companies.  This included
Governing Board & TSC members where applicable. That email informed everyone
of the upcoming change, the deadlines for action and the steps they needed
to take to ensure that developers would still be able to contribute code
when the change occurs.  In addition the fact that this change is coming has
been brought up to the community at large multiple times. The original
enforcement date communicated to all was July 1st.  That was extended an
additional week and now it will occur on Monday July 8th. A status update
will be provided at the PTL meeting Monday morning before enforcement is
enabled.

 

I have created a wiki page that shows
<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Contribution+Agreements#ContributionAgreem
ents-CCLACorporateSign-offStatus> CCLA Corporate Sign-off Status  which I
strongly encourage all contributors to take a look at.

 

Of the 35 companies contacted,  the 12 below have completed all of the
necessary steps as of 4PM Pacific July 3rd.

They are good to go when we flip the switch and none of their contributors
should be impacted.

CMCC

Deutsche Telekom

Huawei

IBM

OAM

Orange

Pantheon

QCT

Samsung

Swisscom

Verizon

ZTE

- ALL OTHERS WILL BE BLOCKED UNLESS ACTION IS TAKEN -  Please see
<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Contribution+Agreements#ContributionAgreem
ents-CCLACorporateSign-offStatus> CCLA Corporate Sign-off Status  for
details.
