INITIAL COMMITTERS: WAITING for Your ID? Where's Your CLA?

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <or...@apache.org>]

Initial Committers for the Apache OpenOffice.org podling are those individuals listed as Initial Committers on the incubator proposal immediately before voting to accept the incubator proposal started:
<http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal?action=recall&rev=207>.

There is a FAQ about the PPMC for the Apache OpenOffice.org podling at
<http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ppmc-faqs.html>.  Check the section "I Was Invited/Voted As Committer, So What's Next".  

 1. SUBMITTING AN iCLA AND WAITING FOR ITS REGISTRATION

For Initial Committers, and only Initial Committers, you are automatically an Invited Committer, even though you may not have received any direct invitation.

If an Invited Committer has not provided an iCLA, that is the next step.  Initial Committers who will not be providing an iCLA for any reason should advise the PPMC at ooo-private@incubator.apache.org.  Please communicate using the e-mail address listed with your name on the Initial Committer list so we know it is you.

Invited Committers whose iCLAs have been registered will receive an e-mail requesting their preferences for an Apache user name (a Unix user ID).  Depending on how the iCLA is transmitted, it can take one week or longer before the iCLA is registered.  

Invited Committers and anyone else who provides a CLA can check whether it has been registered in the Unlisted CLA section of the "ASF Committers by ID" page: <http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html#unlistedclas>.  
"Unlisted CLA" identifies people who have registered CLAs but do not have Apache IDs (yet).  Any contributor can register a CLA.

Invited Committers will receive an e-mail shortly after the CLA is registered.  This e-mail will provide instructions for Step 2 of the procedure, choosing a preferred Apache user name (a Unix account ID).

TROUBLE-SHOOTING THIS STAGE: 

If you know that your CLA has been registered and you have not received any further communication, please contact the PPMC.  

If you have any concerns about this or any subsequent stage for being set up as a committer, please contact the PPMC.  

The PPMC e-mail address is ooo-private@incubator.apache.org.  

WAYS TO SLOW THINGS DOWN:

If you are an Initial Committer and the name or the e-mail on your CLA is different than on the Incubator Proposal, we might not notice that you are the Initial Committer we are expecting.

Please communicate using an e-mail address that we will recognize you by.  If your Initial Committer e-mail address on the Incubator Proposal is different than the e-mail address on your CLA, please use the first and confirm both so we can reconcile the difference with you.  Also, if there are differences in your name on the Incubator Proposal and on the CLA, we need to know that also.
