For several years, Red Hat has managed the gathering, editing, and publishing of the various papers at OLS and (now) GCC Summit. So far, combined source for the two years is just over a gigabyte.
We'd like to move this project to happen underneath Fedora. It needs several special considerations:
A larger disk quota (+1 GiB annually?)
A special group e.g. 'svnols' that does not require a GPG-signed CLA but accepts a click-through CLA
The last is important. The content produced in this project falls under the classification of only needing a click-through CLA. This is true of many content contribution areas, such as the Wiki. However, the account system can only create an account, which can then request 'svnols' membership, if the user has signed the CLA. Is that accurate? Or can we let people request and be granted groups without having the GPG signed CLA group?
Actually it is possible to create groups that do not require the CLA. My only concern is future contributions. The CLA is a legal thing so if you're sure there isn't a legal issue with it (as you say its a click through thing?) then we can proceed.
You just need a hosted project and an SVN group?
Replying to [comment:1 mmcgrath]:
There is more than one way to accept the CLA and have it be sufficient for the level of contribution:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/CLAAcceptanceHierarchies
The work that is produced by this project falls in the category of "Project contributor on Wiki." The previous two years of work on ols.108 and ols2006.108 were done by people who accepted the 108 CLA via click-through. In the new location in Fedora, everyone will be required to have an FAS account.
Is there a way we can put together a click-through CLA as an optional method during account creation? Or someway we can prove someone has read and clicked through the CLA? Even though the CLA from 108 is functionally the same, it is only binding to 108 and Red Hat, not to Fedora and Red Hat.
Essentially, yes. But we may need to figure out this click-through CLA thing so it can be used across FAS. I have no idea if this has been considered for FAS 2?
Karsten, next time you get a moment stop by #fedora-admin. I'll get this setup asap but I want to make sure we configure it the way you want. Are you saying we need to create a click-through cla for this sort of thing? And if so do we need to track that or would the fact that the content exist be proof that someone had clicked through?

We don't have the ability to do the CLA thing but we do have this at least. The clickthrough CLA can be done in the future, just takes time.
