Hi, TL;DR: Please change the format of metadata/AUTHORS to yaml-based list of "key: [value,...]" where key is the identity of a Gentoo developer, and the list is copyright holders that the developer has worked for. Longer: metadata/AUTHORS was never specified in any GLEP, so I'm asking Council rather than proposing a GLEP. I'd like the council to consider improving the formatting of the metadata/AUTHORS file, per bug #730200. Specifically comment 1: https://bugs.gentoo.org/730200#c1 The existing format specifies the name of a legal entity, but doesn't explicitly associate a given developer with that entity. Some bikeshedding suggested that new entries could associate via the git commit messages, but that doesn't account for historical entries. I've contributed to Gentoo while on the employment income and/or consulting work for at least 9 different organizations in the past 18 years, and some of them should be recognized as potential copyright holders for my works. I think the suggested format should become YAML-based for ease of validation and parsing. I don't have opinions on the format within the data. Should it be alphabetical or cronological? Should explicit date ranges be possible? Example of potential new file, with existing header omitted for brevity. --- mgorny: - Micha=C5=82 G=C3=B3rny williamh: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. dolsen: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. chutzpah: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. wizardedit: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. zmedico: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. gyakovlev: - Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. robbat2: - Technical University Of British Columbia (TechBC) - Simon Fraser University - Net-Conex Business Solutions Inc - Epik Networks Inc - IsoHunt Web Technologies Inc. - Global NetOptex Inc - Merkle: The Gallery Group - BC Libraries Cooperative 2009 - MappingBook Ltd - Experq Oy # vim: ft=3Dyaml: --- --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 --6X0DF7LNxRt8LRb7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
