Sign the OCLA

This page is the step-by-step guide to signing the Obvious Contributors License Agreement. It's easy and pretty painless! For an explanation about why we ask you to do this, see the OCLA Rationale page.

  1. First and foremost, read the current version of the OCLA. It is written to be as close to plain English as possible.

  2. Make an account on GitHub if you don't already have one.

  3. File a pull request on this project (the Obvious Open Source Umbrella Project), as outlined below.

  4. Email the Obvious Open Sourceror, as outlined below.

  5. Wait for an Obvious team member to merge your pull request.

  6. Contribute!

If you wish to, you may also file the OCLA in paper form. Please see the instructions on the paper OCLA page for details.

Filing the Pull Request

If you don't yet know how to file a pull request, read GitHub's document about it.

Make your pull request be the addition of a single file to the contributors directory of this project. Name the file with the same name as your GitHub userid, with .md appended to the end. For example, for the user danfuzz, the full path to the file would be contributors/danfuzz.md.

Put the following in the file:

[date]

I hereby agree to the terms of the Obvious Contributors License
Agreement, version 1.0, with MD5 checksum
fbe613f727e76c93e4a5967536c87fbe.

I furthermore declare that I am authorized and able to make this
agreement and sign this declaration.

Signed,

[your name]
https://github.com/[your github userid]

Replace the bracketed text as follows:

  • [date] with today's date, in the unambiguous numeric form YYYY-MM-DD.
  • [your name] with your name.
  • [your github userid] with your GitHub userid.

That's it!

Sending the Email

Send an email to Obvious's official Open Sourceror at open-source@obvious.com, with the subject "OCLA" and the following body:

I submitted a pull request to indicate agreement to the terms
of the Obvious Contributors License Agreement.

Signed,

[your name]
https://github.com/[your github userid]
[your address]
[your phone number]

Replace the bracketed text as follows:

  • [your name] with your name.
  • [your github userid] with your GitHub userid.
  • [your address] with a physical mailing address at which you can be contacted.
  • [your phone number] with a phone number at which you can be contacted.
