Subject: [NOTES 10/11] How can companies respectfully engage contractors to work on Git?
Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2025 15:20:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aOQWiOOp2pz6n8Kg@nand.local> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aOQVeVYY6zadPjln@nand.local>
Topic: How can companies respectfully engage contractors to work on Git?
Leader: Emily Shaffer
* Google hired Collabra to work on patches on the list
* Should they be doing something specific to indicate they're pursuing these
patches on behalf of someone else?
* Taylor: So long as they understand there's no obligation from the project to
accept the work
* Having a short note in the cover letter to indicate who is sponsoring the work
(if it's not already obvious). Mention during review if you think there's a
conflict of interest.
