[ecf-dev] CQs for Europa code contributions: Jan 31 deadline

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

The Foundation Legal team has determined that in order to process all 
the likely IP contribution questionnaires for Europa projects (including 
ECF), they need to set a deadline of Jan 31 for submission of 
contributions questionnaires (CQs).

It's necessary to submit a contribution questionnaire for both 
EPL-licensed and non-EPL (e.g. Apache-licensed) contributions, if they 
are not works done as an ECF committer.  It's also necessary to submit a 
CQ for reuse of other plugins (e.g. those in the Orbit project and/or 
those made available in other projects), and for the library 
dependencies for a given library.

We already have full approval for

IRCLib 1.1.0:  http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1046
Reuse of httpclient 3.0.1 + dependencies:  
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1096

ECF currently has a number of CQs entered but not yet approved for

Smack 2.2.1 + dependency: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1154
Bittorrent contribution from Remy: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1144
JXTA + dependencies: http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1068
MSN protocol impl:  http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1146

We have the following CQs nearly ready to be submitted:

Shared Code Plugin by Marcelo Mayworm (eta for CQ entry 1/25/07 by Remy 
Suen)
bbAPI by Erkki Lindpere (eta for CQ entry: 1/27/07 by Scott Lewis)

But the purpose of this email is to find out if anyone else has other 
contributions to ECF that they would like to get IP approval for prior 
to the Europa release (June 29, 2007).

If you do, please bring them up with a committer as soon as possible and 
we'll arrange to enter the CQ...hopefully prior to Jan 31 so that it's 
approval will be likely before Europa release.

Thanks,

Scott
