Dev - OFBiz, the ASF, and CLAs

David E. Jones
1146 posts

Hello All,

As many of you know OFBiz was accepted into the Apache Incubator in January. One part of this move is a license clearance process so that OFBiz can be licensed through the ASF, and under the Apache 2.0 license. To do this each contributor to OFBiz needs to submit a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) to the Apache Software Foundation.

We are keeping track of this effort on the following wiki page:

http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=OFBizDevelopers

We have sent individual messages to quite a few of you (marked with the "S" status) and CLAs have been received from many (marked with the "X" status). Quite a few have acknowledged the receipt of the message and said they would send in a CLA (marked with the "R" status).

It's been a few weeks since I sent out the initial requests to various contributors, and while quite a few CLAs have been received, quite a few are still needed. Here is the page where the ASF keeps track of CLAs received. The top of the page has a list of those with commit privileges and the project(s) they are associated with. The bottom has a list of all who have submitted a CLA but do not have commit access on any project.

http://people.apache.org/~jim/committers.html

In order to help move this along: if you have contributed anything to OFBiz could you please review the OFBiz wiki page mentioned above and if needed submit a CLA? If you need more information or have any questions about it, feel free to ask here or write to me directly.

Thanks,
-David

I sent in my CLA long ago, but I don't see it listed anywhere. What do I do next?

Adrian,

This is a good question, and one that concerns me because I have heard the same from a couple of others.

If it was sent very recently the best thing to do is wait. If it has been more than 2 weeks something else has likely happened and all I can say is that perhaps the best idea is to send it in again. Short of the Apache Committers page reference below I don't know of any way to find out more details.

I assume that if there is something wrong with a CLA that some sort of response about it will be sent, and hopefully by email, but I don't know.

I appreciate everyone's patience with this...

-David

Looks like a bunch of these came through today.  I saw Jacopo's
father's name on it, for instance.  Sorry it's not faster, but like
everyone else, Jim is a volunteer.
