When will you be specific? Are you concerned about the iCLA?
That doesn't stop most people from helping on ooo-users or other lists. It is not a condition for contributing to the Forums. It is not a condition for submitting bug reports. It is a condition for submitting work that is extensive enough to constitute intellectual property. For what specific purpose do you find an iCLA is required (or election as a committer, beyond that) that is objectionable to you? I don't think the iCLA matters to most people in the community that you are interested in and it will not arise as a requirement. Wanting root access to a server in the Apache Infrastructure is a different story. Please do not over-generalize. Until you make specific, actionable requests, there is going to be no constructive movement here. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Paulo de Souza Lima [mailto:paulo.s.l...@varekai.org] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 13:29 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Dealing with a large and diverse project - Native Languages and project teams [ ... ] Just to be clear: Do you need to fill a form when you decide to help a friend or someone unknown? Most of people don't think they need. So, some of us will submit their requests for contributors. Some will not. But they will continue spread the " cause" and supporting enthusiastically AOO. They will need support and acceptance. [ ... ]
