Re: [incubation] "Contribution Record" field in CQ
Ok, I will try to push something on the Gerrit and then create the CQ. If I cannot, I will find a way to do it publicly so that the CQ for this new feature is compliant with the Eclipse philosophy.

Thanks Wayne.

The key here is to provide a public record of the contribution.

For an initial contribution, you can (as Didier suggests) cite the project creation tracking bug. I'd rather that you not do this for later contributions.

Pushing the content as a Gerrit review request would be a great way to  provide a public record of the contribution and give the project team and community an opportunity to comment/review the contribution. AFAICT, however, you're set up for Gerrit, but aren't using it.

You might create a new record in your issue tracker (Bugzilla) that describes the functionality, where it comes from, etc. You don't need to actually attach a patch; that would be nice, but is not strictly necessary. 

Having that record is  a public means of looking back to see where the decision to include the functionality was made and give the project's community a reasonable opportunity to participate in the process.

HTH,

Wayne

I thought that pushing new code was supposed to pass through the IP process first. Because it is private code, I do not have any link to it.

So according to your mail, I am supposed to push the code first on our public repository and point to the commit URL in the CQ, am I right?

I've opened a bug report to mark the field as required.

You should specify a URL in that field that points to the public record of contribution. This might be a link to the Gerrit commit, or a GitHub pull request. It could even be a link to a URL in a mailing list that itself contains a link to the actual contribution. The value ends up in the "URL" field on the CQ.

The basic idea is that projects should be operating transparently; part of this is that all contributions must have a public record.

Hello,

I am trying to create a new CQ for adding a new set of modules developed internally to the Eclipse public repository. On the CQ form, a field is named "Contribution Record" and seems optional (there is no star on it). I don't know what kind of information is required in this field, so I fills up the form and let this entry empty. But when I validate, the web page tell me that this field must be a valid URL.

What am I supposed to put inside this field?

Thanks,

Best regards.
