Sign the CLA

This page is the step-by-step guide to signing the Alliance's Contributors License Agreement. It's easy and pretty painless!

  1. First and foremost, read the current version of the CLA. It is written to be as close to plain English as possible.

  2. Make an account on GitHub if you don't already have one.

  3. File a pull request on this project (the PV Dynamic Energy and Materials in Circular Economy (PV_DEMICE) Project), as outlined below.

  4. Email the PV_DEMICE Sourceror, as outlined below.

  5. Wait for an Alliance team member to merge your pull request. You may start opening pull requests for the project you're contributing to but we will only be able to merge your contributions after your signed CLA is merged.

Filing the Pull Request

If you don't yet know how to file a pull request, read GitHub's document about it.

Make your pull request be the addition of a single file to the contributors directory of this project. Name the file with the same name as your GitHub userid, with .md appended to the end. For example, for the user shirubana, the full path to the file would be contributors/shirubana.md.

Put the following in the file:

[date]

I hereby agree to the terms of the Contributors License
Agreement, version 1.0, with MD5 checksum
c54efab3bc98a2ca5e631c204a58a15c.

I furthermore declare that I am authorized and able to make this
agreement and sign this declaration.

Signed,

[your name]
https://github.com/[your github userid]

Replace the bracketed text as follows:

  • [date] with today's date, in the unambiguous numeric form YYYY-MM-DD.
  • [your name] with your name.
  • [your github userid] with your GitHub userid.

You can confirm the MD5 checksum of the CLA by running the md5 program over cla-1.0.md:

md5 cla-1.0.md
MD5 (cla-1.0.md) = c54efab3bc98a2ca5e631c204a58a15c

If the output is different from above, do not sign the CLA and let us know.

That's it!

Sending the Email

Send an email to PV_DEMICE's official Open Sourceror at silvana.ayala@nrel.gov, cc-ing Alberta.Carpenter@nrel.gov, with the subject "CLA PV Dynamic Energy and Materials in Circular Economy (PV_DEMICE)" and the following body:

Signed,

[your name]
https://github.com/[your github userid]

Replace the bracketed text as follows:

  • [your name] with your name.
