-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Please exclude the mass-email, most of you will receive this more than once, we're hoping to catch any current contributor whose email address on zope.org is not current. Anyone who has svn.zope.org checkin privileges and has not received personal email with the content below, please read and follow the instructions, otherwise you may find yourself without access. Thanks! jens - ----------------------------------------------- You may be aware that the copyright for software stored in the software repositories on svn.zope.org has recently been assigned to the Zope Foundation, from the earlier copyright holder Zope Corporation. The old contributor agreements expressly assigned a joint copyright to Zope Corporation for any software checked into svn.zope.org repositories. With the Zope Foundation taking over these copyrights, the agreement with the contributors needs to change so that the Zope Foundation is the joint copyright holder for all new code coming into the repositories. For you as a contributor this means you need to submit a new contributor agreement[1] if you want to stay on as an active contributor to Zope and/or the other software hosted in the repositories on svn.zope.org. Here's how: - - download the new agreement[1] - - fill in the new agreement, and since you are a current contributor it is OK to enter Jim Fulton (jim(a)zope.com) as the required reference committer - - sign and date the agreement - - either scan the agreement and email it to foundation-info(a)zope.org, or fax it to the Zope Foundation fax number +1 (703) 842-8076 To ensure a timely copyright transition we ask you to submit the new contributor agreement no later than June 17, 2009. The Zope Foundation board will try to contact any contributor who has not replied at that point between June 18 and June 26, and on June 26 checkin access will be removed for those who have not sent in the new agreement. Thanks again for your support!

(REMINDER) Updated e-mail addresses due this week

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (Please forgive the crosspost, and follow up to me directly with questions, rather than CC'ing the lists). In order to complete the transition of copyrights from Zope Corporation to the Zope Foundation, we need to refresh all committer agreements, and therefore need to be able to reach all committers via a valid e-mail address. If you have ever made a checkin to the the Zope CVS or subversion repositories, please verify that your profile information on www.zope.org is up to date (the e-mail address, in particular). The Zope Foundation board will be sending out a request for the new forms within the next week: committers who do not make a timely reply to that request will have their checkin access suspended until they complete the form. If you know a committer who is unlikely to receive this e-mail via one of the cross-posted lists, please forward this e-mail to them Thank you for your cooperation, and for your continued support of Zope!
