Greetings,

As you may know, the Eclipse Foundation has been working on ways to reduce
the barriers to accepting contributions from non-committers.  The
Contributor License Agreement[1], which, in essence, removes your requirement
to ask the Three Questions[2] on each and every bug, is another step towards
that goal.

Signing a CLA was enabled last week, and anyone with an Eclipse Foundation
account can sign a CLA right now[3].

Today, at 2:00pm Eastern (in about 2 hours) we will be checking the Authors
of all the commit entries that come into Gerrit and Git.  An overview
of the workflow is described here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions#Overview


For more background on the CLA initiative, please see http://bugs.eclipse.org/401236
and these docs:

For committers:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions

For contributors:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Contributing_via_Git


Like with any initiative, there will be some growing pains, but in the
end we feel the CLA will provide a much simpler mechanism for our contributors.

Like always, please feel free to post comments on the related bugs and
ask questions by emailing us directly.


Thanks,

Denis & Wayne
