[emft-dev] Created a txt file for external contributors contact info


Hi All.

This following is a blurb from the foundation related to the privacy policy.

In the "Additional Information"  section of that document  that  you should NOT list email addresses, due to their privacy policy, but instead keep an internal private list that shows emails ....here is the exact text.

The Foundation needs to maintain contact information for all Contributors; however, the Foundation also needs to abide by its Privacy Policy. The Project handles these two requirements by maintaining an internal, non-public database (list) of contact information for all Project Contributors, including the Contributor's name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. Committers are stored in the Foundation database under their dev.eclipse.org unix login name, thus the only requirement for section 1 is that login name.  Contributors are stored by the Project in private, in a text file, a spreadsheet, an HTML table, a small database, or whatever the Project chooses. Section 2 uses the Contributor names as keys into that information to avoid having to list Contributors' email addresses or mailing addresses in the Project IP log. The Project sends the contact information to the Foundation as part of the process of a Release Review.
All of this is a long way of saying that the Project leadership and/or PMC must keep track of the Contributors' contact information in private and send that private list to the EMO at the Release Review.1



Related to this I have updated the /emft/eclipse-project-ip-log.csv to contain only the names of the external contributors. Theie contact information has been moved to the following file

/emft/doc/emft-external-contribs-info.txt


I hope everybody is subscribed to the dev mailing list

Thanks
