[dev] New contributing organization help
Hello community, I work at a silver member of OpenInfra and will make code contributions on behalf of my employer. I am aware about the requirement to sign Contributor License Agreement listing me as the responsible person. Other than that, are there any additional requirements on identifying me as a corporate developer? For example contributor guide lists creating INDIVIDUAL Member account as one of the setup steps and it got me a bit worried. Kind regards Dominik Danelski @ CloudFerro
Hey, There is a CCLA [1] which your organization can sign as well. However, ICLA (individual one) still must be signed according to the process described here [2] [1] https://openstack.na1.echosign.com/public/esignWidget?wid=CBFCIBAA3AAABLblqZ...

When you're creating your account in Gerrit, you'll need to make sure to agree to the Individual Contributor License Agreement as https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/setup-gerrit.html#individual-... directs you (the screenshots there may be a little outdated, "patches welcome"). That's the only real blocker to pushing proposed changes for OpenStack projects. The Contributor Guide also suggests to join the OpenInfra Foundation as an Individual Member (it's free), but this is not a requirement to contribute to the project. Foundation individual membership does, however, allow you to stand for leadership roles in the project, as well as vote in elections (both in OpenStack and for the OpenInfra Foundation itself). You can always sign up for it later if you decide you want to be involved in any of those ways. -- Jeremy Stanley
