Contribution and credits policy BCP draft
by Maria Matejka 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Dear fellow OSS WG participants, following up on my talk today, I'm sending here the BCP draft for further discussion. > Open-source projects SHOULD publish their contribution and credits policy and > be open about how (and if) people can contribute. Open-source project > maintainers SHOULD adhere to the published policy and update it when > circumstances change. > > To create such a policy, maintainers can use a [policy guide](https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/policy_guide… > as a starting point. Maintainers are advised to be as open and friendly as they can. For reference, you can also [replay my talk](https://ripe88.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/) or [see RIPE 87 OSS WG session](https://ripe87.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/). And here are some previous relevant threads in this list: - [first draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2023-December/… - [second draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-January/0… - [article at LWN](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-May/000270.… And that's probably all information you may need for context so please comment and roast this BCP draft. Happy contributing and crediting! Maria -- Maria Matejka (she/her) | BIRD Team Leader | CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o.

Hi all, I'm happy to say that, thanks to Maria Matějka, the guide to creating a contributions and credit policy is up on GitHub and ready for PRs: https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy Feel free to share this starting now, but the "official" launch will be May 20, when Linux Weekly News publishes an article on the policy guide. We are open to improvements of all sorts, and especially additions to the list of projects that already have such a policy: https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/policies.md And of course you can check out our own contributions and credit policy :) https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md Thanks again to Maria Matějka for many contributions, edits, structural improvements, and creating the GitHub repo, Marcos Sanz and Martin White for early support and important input, and many others from the OS WG for their input. If you'd like to add yourself as a named contributor or update your entry on the credits, please do! Valerie

We will compare wishes of the WG with real example of what is being done today around BIND DNS server. * Contribution and credits policy for open-source projects (Maria Matejka, BIRD | CZ.NIC) After RIPE 87 in Rome, several people thought more about contributing to open-source software and crediting people. We created a template or example how a policy on contributions and credits may look like, and it's ready for use. * Lightning talks * AOB --
