Jenkins project CLA

The Jenkins project strives for a low barrier of entry. Therefore, we require a signed CLA for board members, officers, core committers and people belonging to specific teams only.
If you are interested in joining the core, documentation, hosting, infrastructure, release or security team, a signed CLA is one prerequisite.
If you are a board member or officer listed on the governance page, you have signed a CLA already.

Members of special interest groups, regular committers, general participants, and one-time committers in the project do not require a signed CLA, although we welcome anyone who's willing to submit a CLA for their work.

How to submit a CLA

Preamble

The Jenkins project uses the EasyCLA service provided by the Linux Foundation. We no longer accept signed PDFs sent by email to the board or by a pull request to this repository.

EasyCLA is self service and requires no manual intervention by the board or any other Jenkins project member. It is a one-time process, valid for all Jenkins community spaces.

The linux-foundation-easycla bot will automatically check your pull request and add a comment to it. It lets you know, that you haven't signed the CLA yet. Click on Please click here to be authorized on the bot's comment.

After signing

Once you have signed the CLA successfully, the bot will automatically update its comment on your PR, to reflect the status.

You receive an email from *@lfx.linuxfoundation.org sending you a link to download a copy of the CLA you have signed.
