Proposal for discussion https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-224

New text proposed for https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/committing.html page:

All contributors are asked to provide an assignment agreement for working on the project:

  • corporate_contributor
  • Corporate contributor agreement to authorize employees to work on project. May also be used as a software grant to donate software to the project.

Thanks!

So far there has been no discussion, so I am going to proceed with motion:

A quick proposal to update the language to reflect GeoServer commit access is granted to individuals (not a group).

Motion held open for 10 days until April 29th:

  • Alessio Fabiani

  • Andrea Aime

  • Ian Turton

  • Jody Garnett +1 initial motion

  • Jukka Rahkonen

  • Kevin Smith

  • Nuno Oliveira

  • Peter Smythe

  • Simone Giannecchini

  • Torben Barsballe

Thanks

Hi Jody,
sounds good. At the same time, I would also made explicit that we are thankful to companies, just in a different way.
Something like “companies contributing to GeoServer are recognized and thanked for the time poured in individual contributors in the release notes, and routinely, in conference presentations”.
Does not have to be that exact wording mind, I just would like to also point out the existing practice of being grateful to companies for financial and in-kind contributions.
My worry is that the message could otherwise read “we care about the individual, the company be damned”, which is definitely not the case.

Regards,

Andrea Aime

They s that sufficient? It was my intention to also recognize companies in the text.

This proposal is now approved, the text was slightly modified to indicate “grateful”:

GeoServer is grateful that organizations of all shapes and sizes support our project with in-kind participation of their employees. Extending commit access is made to individuals directly based on their expertise demonstrated over time.

I will make a PR for this change.
