Greetings Eclipse Committers.
We're making a change to the contribution process.
As you are aware, when you receive contributions from
developers who are not project committers, we require
those contributors to have signed the Eclipse
Contributor Agreement (ECA) and for their
contributions to to include a "Signed-off-by" footer
with credentials that match those specified in the
"Author" field in their commit comments. This
combination serves an indication that the contributor
understands and accepts the terms of the Developer
Certificate of Origin (DCO) that is embedded in
the ECA.
Effective March 30 at 1200h EDT, we are removing the
"Signed-off-by" requirement. Instead, we believe that
the combination of an author's email address in the
"Author" field of a commit and having a valid ECA (or
equivalent committer agreement) on file fulfill the
DCO's "sign-off" requirement. That is, contributors must
still sign the ECA, and must use the credentials
associated with their Eclipse Foundation account in the
"Author" field of all Git commits, but are no longer
required to include a "Signed-off-by" footer in their
commit comments. Note that it is not wrong for commits
to include "Signed-off-by", it is just no longer
required to meet our IP management goals.
The Eclipse Webmaster is rolling out updates to the
repository hooks that had previously enforced this
requirement and we are updating related
documentation, including the Eclipse
Foundation Project Handbook.
While I have your attention, a team of researchers
would like your input.
I, together with a team of
researchers, am trying to help improve software
documentation and maintainability of open-source
projects by providing automatic support of source
code comments based on code review discussions as
a final goal. We believe that code review tools
store important discussions, and possible
decisions, which can be useful for the project
documentation. Thus, as a starting point, we would
like to learn identifying relevant information
from code review discussions such that tooling can
be developed to improve software documentation and
maintainability of open-source projects. If you
are interested in talking about your experiences
as an open-source reviewer then please schedule a
meeting with us using YouCanBook.me here: https://tue-interview.youcanbook.me.
Kind regards and thanks in
advance,
