It was determined some time ago that MapGuide and FDO will use a

contributor agreement. I took the one Rich created and posted here: <font

 face="Arial" size="2"><span

 style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font><a

 title="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Individual_Contributor_License_Agreement_(CLA)"

 href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Individual_Contributor_License_Agreement_%28CLA%29"><font

 title="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Individual_Contributor_License_Agreement_(CLA)"

 size="2"><span

 title="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Individual_Contributor_License_Agreement_(CLA)"

 style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Individual_Contributor_License_Agreement_%28CLA%29</span></font></a>,

cleaned up the formatting, and ran it by our current legal consul

Jennifer Daehler. Jennifer gave the attached document her blessing. <br>

<br>

So now for the interesting questions. My understanding is that a

physically signed copy must be sent to the foundation. Who collects

these, files them for the foundation, and lets the project owners know

they have been received? The form contains a placeholder for the

foundations fax number and mailing address. What should go into these

placeholders? <br>

<br>

Since all of the projects are not using contributor agreements, maybe

another alternative is to make them project centric and have each PSC

responsible for collecting and filing them.<br>

<br>

Thoughts and input? <br>
