Greetings all,
As you may have been made aware, the Fedora Project has recently switched
From the Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) to the
Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA).  We have reached the deadline
for current contributors to have signed the new FPCA and are working to
remove users who have signed the ICLA but not the FPCA from Fedora Groups
where they must have signed the FPCA.
In looking through the list of groups that are affected, we noticed that
many of the affected groups are fedorahosted groups.  Fedorahosted groups do
not have a requirement to sign the FPCA from our side; the individual
projects may make their contributors sign our contributor agreement, their
own contributor agreement, or no contributor agreement at all.  In most
cases, we believe that these hosted groups were created with a default of
signing our contributor agreement and then never changed.
In order to minimize the disruption that Fedora switching from the ICLA to
the FPCA will cause, we have removed the need for members of these groups to
have signed the FPCA(list of groups attached).  This will allow those
members to remain in the hosted groups unless futher action is taken.
If you do want to require all of your contributors to have a contributor
agreement[1]_ with the Fedora Project, then you may follow these instructions
for re-adding that as a requirement.
== Requiring that a Fedora contributor agreement has been signed ==

Make sure that you, at least, have signed the FPCA (or another valid
contributor agreement) so there is at least one administrator in the
group who has signed the FPCA.
Go to https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/
Click the login link and login using your fas username and password
Click on the new ticket link
Create a ticket of Type: change
In the body of the ticket, state that you wish to have everyone who is
not in the cla_done group removed from this group and have future group
members sign the FPCA in order to be added.
Set the Component to "Hosted Projects"
Submit the ticket.

A member of the infrastructure team will process the request.
In the future these steps will likely be integrated into the Fedora Account
System Web interface but currently the ticketing process is required as an
infrastructure member has to do some steps manually.
_[1]: Note that this includes the CLA's signed by certain corporations on
behalf of their employees contributing to the Fedora Project as well as the
FPCA.

Given this project is by Fedora/for Fedora, it's probably a good idea
for us to require FPCA for contributions.  Thoughts on that?

These are actually deprecated, so I'm not really concerned about
them.  Perhaps these should be retired as dead projects though?
