Github pull requests

[David Blevins <da...@gmail.com>]

Just noticed that the Thrift mirror on Github has a long history of pull requests.  That's so cool.

How exactly did you pull it off?

Would love to copy that for OpenEJB/TomEE.

I'm not really a git user, but anything to make it easier for people to contribute is worth pursuing.

We did nothing... The infrastructure team had set up a redirect of  
pull requests to the developer mailing list of the projects.

have you already to created a pull request on github?
if you do not receive a mail on the dev list, please ask the infra  
team on their mailing list.

I really meant how do you do it technically.  Is there something you had to setup to get notified of pull requests?

AW: Github pull requests

Hi David

> How exactly did you pull it off?
We comment from time to time on github, but jira is the primary tool.

We have a very difficult code base to manage, super cross language! => 20
That's why we have tons of forks :-( 
... and github is popular to share

The main issue with such contributions is the license...
Code attachments within Jira have the following optional statement for file
uploads:
"Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works (as per the Apache License
§5)"

I think we should have a clear statement on our Apache github organization
web site => every contribution to an Apache project is a direct "grant
license to ASF"
This will allow us to process pull requests more efficiently.

All the best!

PS: I'm looking forward to an Apache Allura based code farming and social
coding platform;-)
