@mbrukman Can you help to review and approve?

@jerryjch — we're migrating to LF EasyCLA, so I'm actually working on removing folks and companies from CLA_SIGNERS.yaml now, rather than adding new folks. As you can see, EasyCLA is running on this repo as well. :-)

Could you please ask someone who's able to sign the CCLA on behalf of eBay to follow these instructions to onboard eBay into LF EasyCLA? It'll be easy to add/remove folks via that interface, without any PRs going forward.

It's the same CCLA as was previously signed for JanusGraph, the only difference is that we removed the paragraph about asking folks to print out, sign, and email us the CLA document, since it's all electronic now. The rest remains the same, but they're welcome to read it and verify it themselves, of course.

@mbrukman Thanks for commenting here. Is this something recently enabled? Is there any workaround? I have to check with our internal legal on the LF EasyCLA.

@jerryjch — LF EasyCLA was enabled on all JanusGraph repos a while back, I think it was sometime in 2019 actually.

I've been slowly removing folks from CLA_SIGNERS.yaml in 2020 as folks submitted new PRs, which caused them to have to sign LF EasyCLA before we could accept their PR.

Hi, @mbrukman
How will contributors be added via that interface in the future?

[mbrukman]

@jerryjch — once eBay is onboarded as a CCLA signer for the JanusGraph project, new committers can apply to join the eBay organization, and the eBay organization managers can approve individuals to join the organization, once they request to join the company.

Whenever a person submits a PR to JanusGraph, and they're either not an ICLA signer, nor a member of an organization that signed the CCLA, they'll get a message (like you see at the top of this PR) where they can click on the URL and onboard themselves into LF EasyCLA and then choose an organization to join.

LF EasyCLA managers will use the same UI that they use to sign the JanusGraph CCLA to review/approve individuals joining the organization.

@jerryjch — given that eBay has signed the Linux Foundation CCLA (as evidenced in JanusGraph/janusgraph-foundationdb#50), can we close this PR?

As we're moving to using LF EasyCLA exclusively, I'd actually like to remove the eBay section in the YAML config file, and have everyone at eBay add themselves to the eBay org in LF EasyCLA and use that as the canonical source going forward.
