<para>The CentOS Artwork Repository is a collaborative tool that
|
|
|
e935c3 |
anyone can have access to. However, changing that tool in any form
|
|
|
e935c3 |
is something that should be requested in the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">CentOS Developers mailing
|
|
|
e935c3 |
list</ulink>. Generally, people download working copies from
|
|
|
e935c3 |
CentOS Artwork Repository, study the repository organization, make
|
|
|
e935c3 |
some changes in their working copies, make some tests to verify
|
|
|
e935c3 |
such changes do work the way expected and finally request access
|
|
|
e935c3 |
to commit them up to the CentOS Artwork Repository (i.e., the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
source repository) for others to benefit from them.</para>
|
|

e935c3 |

e935c3 |
<para>Once you've received access to commit your changes, there is
|
|
|
e935c3 |
no need for you to request permission again to commit other
|
|
|
e935c3 |
changes from your working copy to CentOS Artwork Repository as
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
long as you behave as a <emphasis>good cooperating
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
citizen</emphasis>. Otherwise, your rights to commit changes might
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
be temporarly revoked or completly banished.</para>
|
|
|

<para>As a good cooperating citizen one understand of a person who
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
respects the work already done by others and share ideas with
|
|
|
e935c3 |
authors before changing relevant parts of their work, specially in
|
|
|
e935c3 |
situations when the access required to realize the changes has
|
|
|
e935c3 |
been granted already. Of course, there is a time when
|
|
|
e935c3 |
conversation has taken place, the paths has been traced and
|
|
|
e935c3 |
changing the work is so obvious that there is no need for you to
|
|
|
e935c3 |
talk about it; that's because you already did, you already built
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the trust to keep going. Anyway, the mailing list mentioned above
|
|
|
e935c3 |
is available for sharing ideas in a way that good relationship
|
|
|
e935c3 |
between community citizens could be constantly balanced.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>The relationship between community citizens is monitored by
|
|
|
e935c3 |
repository administrators. Repository administrators are
|
|
|
e935c3 |
responsible of granting everything goes the way it needs to go in
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
order for the CentOS Artwork Repository to accomplish its mission
|
|
|
e935c3 |
which is: to provide a colaborative tool for The CentOS Community
|
|
|
e935c3 |
where The CentOS Project Corporate Identity is built and
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
maintained by The CentOS Community itself.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>It is also important to remember that all source files
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
inside CentOS Artwork Repository should comply the terms of
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
linkend="licenses-gpl-chapter" /> in order for them to remain
|
|
|
ca81f7 |
inside the repository.</para>
