Proposed new components for sandbox/tomahawk
Hi All,
I've developed a couple of small but useful bits of JSF-related code as
part of a project for my current client, Obsidium Ltd. As seen below,
Obsidium have kindly allowed this code to be donated to the MyFaces
project if it's wanted.
I'll create JIRA issues for each of these pieces separately; this email
is just to get the official confirmation from Obsidium into the public
record.
To summarize:
* o:stackPage - fixes the out-of-order problem when using Tiles
(requires a change to ServletFacesContextImpl or DummyFormUtils)
* o:autoActivate can be wrapped around other components to cause
a submit of the page to occur when client-side change occurs to
the associated HTML component.
* Enhancement to t:dataTable to allow dynamic reordering of columns
Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Obsidium is happy to domate these components to the MyFaces library. Our
organisation has benefitted from the spirit of open source donations
from other
organisations, so we'll continue on with that spirit.

Sorry, I have no possibility to check CCLAs myself, only the ICLAs.
I will post a proposal to the board to provide a list of all CCLAs as well.

yap, since companies can't file ICLA.
Anyway, there are not listed at the mentioned website.
so Manfred? or Ted? can help out on that issue?

Jim's Apache site contains a link to all committers, also it lists
pepole who signed a CLA, but are not committers. Perhaps you see one
of the Obsidium guys here.
(looked for Colin Young, not found)

Or maybe Ted Husted can double check that recived CLA by Obsidium

Hi,
Obsidium has filled out a corporate CLA. It was mailed to Apache in
September last year. I have no idea about where I would look to confirm
it's been received. I did email Jim (Apache Foundation secretary) to
ask, but got no response.
I don't wish to ask anyone here to complete further documentation for
this very small piece of code. If what has been done so far is not
enough, I'll probably just drop the idea (though I would still be happy
to describe the concepts to anyone who wants to do a clean
reimplementation). There are no patentable concepts here, just a little
copyright which Obsidium are happy to grant as shown below.
Regards,
Simon

Well, the question is at what point it is just a normal commit (or
"was developed in our source control system") of one of our committers
- and at what point it is a donation which need's IP clearance.
I totally agree with staying on the safe side here and filling out an
ip-clearance document if you feel that's necessary.

Martin

That's exactly what the IP-clearance document is for: Rather small donations.
See the previous documents: Some of them covering just one small C file.
And, of course, it does not matter if the one that bring's it in is an
active ASF committer or not. Why should it?
On the other hand I'm not sure if the CCLA is really necessary for
this. Although it would not harm, of course.
Ted, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Simon, could you please check the template at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html
and fill in all that is applicable?
Thanks,
Manfred

Hi Simon,
it would be best if Obsidium could file a Corporate CLA for such donations, too.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt
Do you think you could get them to to this?
Plus, we might need to fill in an IP-clearance document at incubator.
I don't see this as being necessary in this case, cause the donation
is rather small in size (not as large as ADF Faces or Tobago ;), plus
done by an active ASF committer, but please (any more experienced ASF
committers/members/officers on this list) tell me if I'm wrong.
