Re: [cdt-dev] Raising the contribution limit

[Corbat Thomas <tcorbat@xxxxxx>]

Thats great. I've adapted the CDT/contributing wiki page: https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=CDT%2Fcontributing&diff=366117&oldid=365998

I changed the wording slightly from "lines of code" to just lines. If I understood it correctly, according to Mike's mail every single line counts, even empty lines.

Regards
Thomas

Great news for contributions!
Anything with less than 1000 added lines (instead of 250 lines as it was until now) does not need a Contribution Questionnaire (CQ).
And it looks like deleted lines don't count in this respect.

Bravo to the Foundation for reducing our overhead!

All,

I am sure that you are aware that the Eclipse Foundation has long had a policy that required that contributions greater than 250 lines of code required the creation of a Contribution Questionnaire, and a review and approval by the IP team.

I am happy to announce that effective immediately, the requirement for filing a CQ has been raised to 1,000 lines of code added. To verify whether a contribution requires a CQ, use one of the following git commands to check:

     If it's committed:  git log --shortstat
     If not committed: git diff --stat

These commands tell you the number of insertions(+), and deletions(-). 
If the total number of lines inserted (e.g. added) in a contribution is greater than 1000 (yes, this includes comments) then a CQ is required.

I hope that this both simplifies and clarifies the expectations around accepting contributions. The other in-bound contribution requirements such as CLAs and signed-by remain in place unchanged.

Thanks!
