Call for interviews! I'm working on an article about an example policy for contributions to open source projects. The goal is for all the contributors to a project, new and old, to have the same expectations regarding credit, reviews, requests for changes, etc. to reduce conflict.
Do you want to share your experiences with conflict over contributions (of any kind) to an open source project? Reply to this post or fill out this form:
@bagder@north@vaurora@fredposner@jcolp same. @pidgin has always deferred to however the contributor wants to be credited, even if it's a pseudonym. We have no CLA or DCO as the project predates those, so our license is what it is and we can't change it because we don't have contact info for many contributors. We also have companies that no longer exist (Sun Microsystems) as contributors to make things even more confusing.That said I'm not aware of any controversy regarding credit.
