Open Stack

UPDATE: The OpenStack Foundation has opted to amend its new
Individual Contributor License Agreement with a "public benefit"
statement (taken from the Apache Software Foundation's ICLA on which
it was originally based). This sentence was inapplicable under the
old OpenStack LLC but is now relevant given the Foundation's
non-profit status...

    "In return, the Project Manager shall not use Your Contributions
    in a way that is contrary to the public benefit or inconsistent
    with its nonprofit status and bylaws in effect at the time of
    the Contribution."

    https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/gerrit/cla.html

This is also reminder for newcomers and others who may have missed
previous announcements. Starting at 21:00 UTC on February 24, 2013
all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack
Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact
information at...

    https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements

    ( http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20130224T21 )

On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new
CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you
to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will
be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is
available here for your convenience (really just changes "LLC" to
"Foundation," corrects a few typographical errors and restores a
"public benefit" statement adapted from the ASF ICLA)...

Another announcement will be sent to the list and the wiki
documentation for the new (and significantly simplified) CLA signing
process will be updated the same day. Any attempts to push changes
for review at or after that date and time without first completing
the new process will be automatically rejected with an error message
indicating your lack of a current CLA signature and/or contact
information on file.

You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual
Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit
contact information--otherwise Gerrit will present you with an error
message prompting you to do so when you attempt to submit your
updated contributor contact information. For those who have not
already joined and wish to get started on that part, the OpenStack
Foundation Individual Member Application is available for completion
at...

    http://openstack.org/register/

As always, feel free to follow up to this announcement or find us in
#openstack-infra on freenode if you have any questions.
