re: Samza We've got a second git repository we'd like to import, https://github.com/linkedin/hello-samza, which is a tutorial and quickstart on the Samza project. This was originally kept separate from the code for two reasons (a) making it stand-alone made it easier for it just be turn-key after cloning and (b) to make it faster to iterate on. However, it's turned out there's lots of interest in the hello-samza itself, which is being directed towards the podling.
I started work on IP clearance to import it in, but when I talked with LI's legal department about a second CCLA (per the IP Clearance page), they were of the opinion that the original CCLA covered this repo as well: LI counsel on open source matters: "Hello-samza is ancillary to Samza and thus fits within a broadly interpreted Exhibit B to the original Samza CCLA. In other words, it's already covered, with no legal need for a new CCLA. Also worth noting that we're the donor of both Samza and hello-samza, so a key problem that would be resolved by having the separate, new CCLA (i.e. substantial donation of code by a different company) is actually a problem we do not have." This sounds reasonable to me and saves some paperwork. Are there any objections to just importing the second git repo? The Samza community has voted to incorporate the code: http://bit.ly/1lX414U -Jakob
