Re: [tdf-discuss] Contributors' names in LibO 3.3: how to ask for a correction?

There is an alias file at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~cbosdo/gitdm-lo-config/tree/aliases which can be used to merge several email addresses. My attribution script also extracts all real names from the git logs and prefers a 2-word name over a 1-word name. So if you commit as luctur t...@is.me and as Gianluca Turconi t...@is.me the next time, the full name will be shown. The disadvantage is that Wol will now always be credited as Wols Lists :-). I hope that makes things clear. In fact, I' haven't found among the contributors the name of Davide Prina, co-author of the Italian spellchecker dictionary. I guess we need to think about this too - perhaps we need an addendum list of people who have contributed things, but for whom the git log is inaccurate / incomplete / fragmentary :-) Of course, we can only look at the author or committer names for the commits. And if those are wrong/missing... Looking at the (pretty) web page, it might be helpful too to have an affiliation tag for old (non-Sun/Oracle) contributors on the page too. I did not include affiliation tags on purpose, as I did not want to be too invasive concerning privacy. The Oracle guys already complained that their name shows up on a Libreoffice web site (ask thorsten), and I did not want to go too far to make people complain (even if it is based on public information anyway). But if the SC says they are fine with affiliations, I can easily add those affiliations that we have identified. Oh, and a mail link at the bottom for corrections (the dev list perhaps?). I'll add something to have people mail me directly, I only skim the dev list these days. That having said, there is still no update mechanism in place as I still don't have access to that CMS. :-( Sebastian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

You need to make sure you commit new code with a correct full name and email address. After that we could setup an alias to merge all luctur commits to the ones of your name. Ping spaetz for that on IRC. In fact, I' haven't found among the contributors the name of Davide Prina, co-author of the Italian spellchecker dictionary. If he committed the changes as patches and the dictionary is in git repos, then he should appear... otherwise I don't think there is any way to change that other than adding entries manually.

These files are more reliable and up-to-date than other sources.

[tdf-discuss] Contributors' names in LibO 3.3: how to ask for a correction?
I post here because I've just read a message about credits in LibO 3.3 and so I've checked them in order to confirm that bug, but if there's a better place where we can discuss this other issue, please point me to it. Here are the facts: in the credits it's written luctur Commits: 5 Joined 2003-11-05 That luctur was my userid when commiting code in the OOo project. I don't know why there is my username and not my full name there, however this is not the main problem. In fact, I' haven't found among the contributors the name of Davide Prina, co-author of the Italian spellchecker dictionary. Since I have originally contributed it to the OOo code base under my own liability but, of course, with Davide's authorization, by contributing it by mean of my signed Joint Copyright Agreement, I think Davide's name should be added to the list of credits too. Furthermore, I've checked the THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html file and there, there is Davide's name and not mine as copyright owner... :) It's a rather awkward situation, I think, and both credits and third party license lists should be checked and somehow synchronized. TIA for any comments and hints about this issue.
