Right. But I think Scott may have been asking after the
individual version of the participation agreement, rather than
the organizational version. I'm pretty sure that's not been done
yet.
Yes, I am interested in the individual version. I take from
Mike's answer that there will be a distinct individual version of
osgi wg participation agreement but it's not available yet.
I have one other question wrt Mike's answer wrt TCK:
Mike: ...The source code of the TCKs is under an open source
license as selected by the project that develops the TCKs.
Is that going to be the same project that develops the specs?
Or some other/new project for TCK development? Or perhaps not
determined yet?
I think so, but it may not be published
during the proposal phase. I imagine it will be quite
similar to Jakarta's or Microprofile's. You can find
links to them at https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/explore.php.

With regard to committer members of
the OSGi Working Group, they must be members of
the Eclipse Foundation and also sign the
participation agreement for the OSGi Working
Group. The latter is necessary for proper IP
flow to the created specifications.
Does the osgi wg participation agreement exist yet?
Thanks,
Scott

1) In the osgi working group proposal, it
says this about Committer Members
Committer members
Committer Members are individuals who through
a process of meritocracy defined by the
Eclipse Foundation Development Process are
able to contribute and commit materials to the
Eclipse Foundation projects included in the
scope of this working group. Committers may be
members by virtue of working for a member
organization, or may choose to complete the
membership process independently if they are
not. For further explanation and details, see
the Eclipse
Foundation Committer Membership page.
For those committers that are not working for
a member organization it says they 'may choose
to complete the membership process
independently'. The next sentence link
implies that the 'membership process' being
referred to is the committer membership
process. Does that mean the only requirement
for independent committer members to the
working group is just regular committer
membership? (i.e. signing membership
agreement, etc)? Or is there additional
process and agreements for osgi working group
membership for independent committers?
2) TCK access: As I remember, the OSGi
Alliance restricted access to the various TCKs
by membership level. How is TCK access going
to work wrt the osgi wg? Specifically...for
projects that implement specifications (e.g.
Equinox-framework, ECF-remote services admin,
others)?
