From c53de859e25b56d665f59c3bd2844bf5f288ecc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Maloney Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2015 10:15:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Mention contributor agreement immediately after Gerrit I walked through the steps for a contribution but ended up with an error when doing "git mail" because I didn't have a signed agreement. Added a section to check for or create one through Gerrit right after the user has created the account and logged in. Moved some info from copyright section to the new section.

Contributor License Agreement

Gerrit serves as the gatekeeper and uses your e-mail address as the key. +To send your first change to the Go project from a given address, +you must have completed one of the contributor license agreements: +

    +
  • +If you are the copyright holder, you will need to agree to the +individual +contributor license agreement, which can be completed online. +
    • +
  • +If your organization is the copyright holder, the organization +will need to agree to the +corporate +contributor license agreement. +(If the copyright holder for your code has already completed the +agreement in connection with another Google open source project, +it does not need to be completed again.) +

+You can use the links above to create and sign the contributor license agreement +or you can show your current agreements and create new ones through the Gerrit +interface. Log into Gerrit, +click your name in the upper-right, choose "Settings", then select "Agreements" +from the topics on the left. If you do not have a signed agreement listed here, +you can create one by clicking "New Contributor Agreement" and following the steps. +

+This rigmarole only needs to be done for your first submission for each email address. +
