The Contributor License Agreement (CLA) service of the Linux Foundation lets project contributors read, sign, and submit contributor license agreements easily.
We put the onus on the members to manage their authorized CLA users, but we have no way for them (or our own staff) to get a report of the CLA-signed companies and who is authorized under their CLA.
Proposal
Take the data already in EasyCLA databases and present a report that can be accessible to any CLA Manager through the CLA Manager interface, or by any LF staff member from the PCC.
Workflow
Microsoft’s CLA Manager logs into EasyCLA’s management interface and sees the projects they’ve signed a CLA for. They have an option to output a .csv file of authorized contributors under their CLA for each project. They also have an option to export a .csv of all projects which has each authorized contributor broken out by project.
Expected Outcome
The CLA Manager can easily access and see what users are authorized to contribute under their signed CLA which enables them to manage their list of authorized users.
