Moving to the new .NET Foundation CLA service

[dnfadmin]

Hello everyone
The .NET Foundation is transitioning to a new CLA service and I'm posting here to let you know it's happening. Some background info:

The new CLA service is based off of https://github.com/microsoft/ContributorLicenseAgreement, except it uses the dotnet-policy-service app

• Current contributors do not need to sign the CLA again
• The CLA agreement itself is not changing
• As part of the install/configuration process, the following work items will be completed

1. Create a .github repo if it doesn't exist already
2. Install the dotnet-policy-service app
3. Create PRs for the platformcontext.xml and cla.yml files
4. Disable the existing CLA webhook
5. Push the PRs to enable the new CLA service

That's all there is to it. I'll update this issue once the work is complete

Thanks
Chris
.NET Foundation Operations team

How do project admins do this work?

What is the motivation?

Can you share the script I could run as org admin so that I would not need to give permissions to DNFAdmin?

Thanks for reaching out.

1. Yes, you can do the work - https://github.com/microsoft/ContributorLicenseAgreement#installation
2. The app is here - https://github.com/apps/dotnet-policy-service
3. Motivation: the old service is going away so we need to move everyone to the new service.

Let me know if you have any questions and I can loop in our dev team for any support items

@ChrisSfanos not sure I understood your replies.

[ChrisSfanos]

Hey @lostmsu - my understanding from you is you hit the issue above trying to configure the CLA for PythonNET, but Dragos comments were in reference to the CLA already being installed on this repo and not PythonNET. Was trying to make sure everyone was looking at the correct issue. Did I misunderstand all of that?

[lostmsu]

@ChrisSfanos I got the right response under the issue I filed

[ChrisSfanos]

Ah ok - I hadn't seen that - glad it's covered

[DragosDanielBoia]

@lostmsu is done, you will need to re-pushed the files and then should work
