Hey all, I probably won't make the geotools meeting today. Frank, any chance you could update us on your schedule for dealing with the Geotools Copyright assignment? Ideally we could get a sense of when you will be able to deal with it and how you plan to have OSGeo accept it. Also, you suggest that the copyright assignment form is not the place to have contibutors assert they are commiting clean code. However, it would probably be a good idea to have each of us assert that we are, to the best of our knowledge, not contributing code encumbered by trademark, patent or unmentioned copyright. If this is not stated in the copyright assignment, how do you suggest geotools deal with those issues? For geotoolers, once we finalize the doc with Frank/OSGeo, we will have to schedule a committer strategy. Ideally we could complete the whole process in a month including proposing the text for signature collecting the signed documents harrassing the delinquent chasing old committers no longer following the list A helpful step would be to set up a page with the names of all the past and current commiters to see who we will need to contact. --adrian |
