Does MyBatis want our source?

[killnine]

Hello,

This might be a strange request, but I work for a large organization that has maintained a version of ibatis.net for many years (10+, if I understand it). We're looking to open source this changes since ibatis.net is not really supported anymore.

However, rather than post it under our own organization we wanted to make sure the contributors of MyBatis didn't want us to commit it under something like 'MyBatis.net', or a similar name. I'm sure after this many years the functionality differences between the java MyBatis implementation and our iBatis.net implementation may be pretty significant...

The main improvement recently is that it's now built upon .Net standard so it .Net Core compatible.

But I'm looking for feedback from contributors here on your thoughts.

👍 +1 for me, @cbegin WDYT?
They should sign the ICLA as usual for the donation to the Organization, right?

Hello,

In the same fashion, I have recently forked mybatisnet and began some changes to make it in par with dotnet standard tooling, while requiring it for a number of projects I am working on currently. I'd be happy to submit my changes as well and would also be interested to see what @killnine and their organisation have done.

Cheers

+1 sounds great to have the .net community under the same umbrella. Cheers, Frank. El mié., 10 de octubre de 2018 12:51 PM, Ivaylo Slavov < notifications@github.com> escribió:

Sounds good. We're getting approval from our legal folks to push it up to GH. I'd expect it'll be just a little bit. Then we'll look for some feedback to make sure we created it following your conventions.

How do we put it under the mybatis group? Upload it to our organization's GH first then 'give' it to you by transfer? Or does someone in our group need to be a contributor under the mybatis organization.

Thanks for your patience. As you might guess we're a bit new to OSS contributing. :)

One concern we have is that the functionality has probably diverged pretty substantially from Mybatis, so I worry that calling it something like Mybatis.net would be disingenuous and confusing to potential users. Internally we'd talked about calling it QBatis or QBatis.net (because our company starts with a Q...). What are your thoughts?

I'm still working on approval to submit to the project openly.

[killnine]

This is still being evaluated from my company's legal group. It's just way on the backburner. When will enterprises trust OSS practices? :)

There can be no barriers to science and technology.

@simonetripodi What is the ICLA form you're talking about?

EDIT: Found it here https://github.com/mybatis/mybatis-3/blob/master/ICLA

[simonetripodi]

@killnine cool, I was just pointing you to https://github.com/mybatis/committers-stuff/blob/master/ICLA :)

Please make sure they don't differ, refer to this latest one if in trouble!
