| Re: [nebula-dev] IP Log, etc. | 
If I'm not mistaken, in Platform UI we keep track of this by tagging 
bugs as "contributed" when there are code contributions from outside the 
Eclipse membership.  As I understand it, the bylaws only require us to 
track contributions so that IP is clearly delineated--it does not 
mandate where or how that log is constituted.  So it could just as 
easily be in a special file in CVS as in tags in Bugzilla.  This is just 
my understanding though--check with Eclipse legal to be sure.

Hi Peter,
AFAIK there is no IP log for Nebula. I talked with Janet Campbell 
about it at "Eclipse Now You Can" but I did not have the time to 
create one since that.
I'm also ready to create an IP log for Gallery, I guess it's better to 
create one log per component.

Fellow Nebula Devs,
Does anyone know where the IP Log for Nebula is kept?  According to 
the Eclipse rules, we should track all contributions in a central 
file of some kind.  We'll need to submit this if we ever get to a 
Release Review.  I hunted around the CVS and couldn't find it.  
Should I start one separately for CDateTime?  Thanks.

P.S. I talked with the head legal honcho at EclipseCon about this 
issue, and she confirmed that an IP log entry is still necessary even 
if the contribution is less than 250 lines.  Up to this point, I had 
been ignoring this because all of the patches I've committed are 
below the limit.  According to her, BugZilla can be our safety net to 
track the necessary info, but we still need to have the single 
reportable tracking file for everything.  Also, because we are not 
yet compliant with the incubation rules, all contributions over 250 
lines must pass the full IPZilla process before they are committed.  
If we get compliant, we'll be able to use the parallel IP process -- 
commit first and ask questions later.  :-)
