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).
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.
NOTE: Only one ICLA only needs to be completed once regardless of the number of Apache projects to which you contribute.
How to Become a Contributor?
If you are willing to contribute to the project and want to join this group then please:
- Read the notes carefully and file an Individual Licence Agreeement (ICLA)
- Create confluence user id
- 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.
- 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.
- 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

A list of contributors and their contributions is available from JIRA.
Please note that project contributions are not only about providing patches through Jira. Participation in discussions on the mailing lists, updating documentation on the wiki and testing patches are also ways that contributions can be made to the project.
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).
IMPORTANT NOTE: A Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every Apache project contributor to sign their own Individual Contributor Licence Agreement (ICLA) to cover any of their contributions which are not owned by the employer signing the 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.
NOTE: A CCLA only needs to be completed once regardless of the number of Apache projects to which your company contributes.
How to file a CCLA
- Read, complete and sign this form :http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt
- Email a scan of the signed copy to secretary@apache.org.
