Apache OFBiz Contributors

Contributors

The Apache OFBiz Project operates on a meritocracy: the more you do, the more responsibility you obtain. This page lists all of the people who have asked to become contributors.

If you are interested to become a contributor please also read OFBiz Contributors Best Practices

What is a Contributor?

A contributor is someone who contributes ideas, code or documentation (including updating our wiki) to the project

On 25th November 2014 we introduced a new policy that we would like all contributors of ideas, code and documentation to have a signed an Apache Individual Contributor Licence Agreement (ICLA).

See Mailing List Thread

What it means?

Signing an ICLA means that you understand that what you have contributed (or want to contribute) is subject to the Apache Licence and that you are happy to do this.  The ICLA is not tied to any employer you many have. Details of the Apache Licences and Contributor Licence Agreements can be found at the link :  http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

How to file an ICLA

• Simply read, complete and sign this form http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf

• Email a scan of the signed copy to secretary@apache.org.

How to Become a Contributor?

If you are willing to contribute to the project and want to join this group then please:

1. Read the notes carefully and file an Individual Licence Agreeement (ICLA)
2. Create confluence user id
3. Send a message to the user mailing list (user at ofbiz dot apache dot org) with details of your confluence user id

and you will be added to the list.

How do you verify that my ICLA has been filed with the ASF?

This is how we check that your ICLA has been officially filed.

1. The ASF publishes a list of all the ICLAs it has on file at the following link:  Persons with signed CLAs but who are not (yet) committers.
2. When you file your ICLA, we verify that your name appears on this list.

How to add a photo in the "Photo / Avatar" column

• Put a link to a photo of you (somewhere on the Net) in the column
• Upload your photo as an attachement to this page and then use it in the column
• Create an avatar at https://gravatar.com (it's actually a photo of you that you add there) and use the link in column. You can then reuse this photo everywhere you need and update it when you need

	Cheng Jing	Nanjing		chengjing30	N	11/04/16.@Chengjing - Still having the same issue I can't find the name 'Cheng Jing' on the ASF list to confirm your ICLA. Did you register under a different name? (There are 5 names with 'Cheng' and 3 with 'Jing' but none together.)	Cant find a JIRA user with this name Jacques Le Roux: HI Sharan, I guess you mean a Confluence username. I had also hardtime to find it, here it is Chengjing Jacques Le Roux : Hi Jacques - no I meant his JIRA name. I add users by their actual name not user id. There is no-one registered in JIRA with an name Cheng Jing or Chengjing. chengjing: my Confluence login user name is chengjing30，do you mean this? @chengjing30: Hi Cheng Jing. No. I am looking to find out if you have JIRA login for submitting patches or reporting issues. Do you have one? (If so what is it?)

Corporate Contributor Licence Agreements (CCLA)

Employees

Many standard employee agreements include clauses that give an employer ownership of any work created by their employees regardless of whether it is done during company time or not. If you want to contribute to OFBiz but you have this type of agreement with your employer then you must get an authorised person from your company to complete a "Corporate Contributor Licence Agreeement (CCLA).

Employers

If your company has any employees contrbuting work to Apache projects (e.g. code, documenation, etc) as part of their employment then it is important that you complete a "Corporate Contributor Licence Agreement" (CCLA). By completing the CCLA you are waiving any ownership rights of the work your employees contribute to Apache.

How to file a CCLA

1. Read, complete and sign this form :http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt
2. Email a scan of the signed copy to secretary@apache.org.
