Thanks Cameron, that is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Did your project make that all up itself, or did you have a starting point?
</div><div><br></div><div>A couple of questions:</div><div>- How do you handle a contributor is acting as an employee? (In this case the organisation is the author not the individual)</div><div>- This example only covers license, so the original author is keeping their copyright? (So to change license you need to run around to all the authors again…)</div><div><br></div><div>I have been trying to help the GeoMoose project go through these kind of questions, and there was a request for some boiler plate that "the incubation" committee would be happy with.</div><div><div>-- </div><div>Jody Garnett<br></div><div><br></div></div>

I assume that you are referring to processes that projects need to
have in place to ensure that contributed code meets the license
guidelines?<br>
<br>
For the OSGeo-Live project we use the following process:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion</a><br>
<br>
Commit access<br>
To get [OSGeo-Live] commit access, you need to create yourself an
osgeo user id, then join our email list and ask to be given access
to subversion. In this email, you will also need to confirm that
you will comply with our license guidelines. Write something like:<br>
"Hi all, I'd like to contribute XXX to OSGeo-Live. Could I please
get access to subversion. My osgeo-user id is: YYYY.<br>
I confirm that my contributions to OSGeo-Live will be compatible
with the OSGeo-Live license guidelines at the time of
contribution."<br>
<br>
The current OSGeo-Live license guidelines are: <br>
...<br>
A project admin will then add you to the osgeo user group.<br>
<br>
The first thing you should do to test your svn install is to add
your name the code contributors or translators list(s):<br>

<div> I am continuing to struggle with examples of how to handle

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can I ask the list for good (or bad) examples and why you
like them? </div>

</div>
<div>For my part I will try and gather these up into the FAQ,
since this discussion happens with each project that comes
along.</div>
