Meeting Process
Notes
Making iCLA checking easier @Heather Greer Klein
One hurdle is getting a CLA signed. Especially for one-time, or first-time committers.
Also an issue for international contributors
Could we use something like docusign to streamline this?
Is an individual iCLA enough to merge a PR?
A cCLA is necessary as well.
Any contribution not covered with both could poison the well.
Heather is talking with Oasis about whether it is needed at all.
What is the offboarding process?
We don’t have one
The person keeps the iCLA, but the corporate line is replaced with their new employer.
Current process is “I see a PR, I don’t recognize the contributor, ask if they have an iCLA.”
Not automatic, and requires the merger to know everyone.
Linux has an EasyCLA GitHub plugin.
Does this cover cCLAs and iCLAs?
Heather will investigate
