当给一些比较知名的项目贡献代码时候,一般需要签署一些协议,然后提交的patch才能被merge.
最近给apache下的libcloud提交代码就碰到这事儿了。
Contributing Bigger Changes
If you are contributing a bigger change (e.g. large new feature or a newprovider driver) you need to have signed Apache Individual ContributorLicense Agreement (ICLA) in order to have your patch accepted.
You can find more information on how to sign and file an ICLA on theApache website.
When filling the form, leave field preferred Apache id(s)
empty and inthe notify project
field, enter Libcloud
.
然后就去注册了一下,还挺新奇--
