[rb-general] Reproducible Builds to Join Conservancy

[Deb Nicholson]

Hi all, 
I’m the Director of Community Operations at the Software Freedom
Conservancy.

I am excited to write that Conservancy’s Project Evaluation Committee
has approved Reproducible Builds for membership in Conservancy. The
Reproducible Builds Steering Committee has been working with
Conservancy to put a document in place called a “fiscal sponsorship
agreement” (FSA). Bdale Garbee, Allen Gunn, Keith Packard, Stefano
Zacchiroli, Mattia Rizzolo and Holger Levsen are signing this document
on behalf of the Reproducible Builds community.

You can find a template of the agreement available on Conservancy’s
website at: https://sfconservancy.org/members/apply/ConservancyFSATempl
ate.pdf (there are .odf and .tex files available too).

If you have questions or concerns, we suggest you discuss them on this
list or with Conservancy privately if you prefer.

Conservancy’s “Project Intake group” can be reached by the alias projec
t-intake at sfconservancy.org and is comprised of the following people:
Bradley M. Kuhn, Karen Sandler, Tony Sebro, Jeremy Allison, Tom
Callaway, Martin Michlmayr. All of whom are members of Conservancy’s
Project Evaluation Committee and will be happy to answer questions.

Conservancy strongly suggests that a public discussion of the FSA occur
on the general discussion list for contributors of your project, which
is why I’ve posted this information here on rb-general.

If we don’t receive any credible objections to Reproducible Builds
joining Conservancy by October 11th, we plan to execute the FSA and
make a public announcement at that time.

We're looking forward to having Reproducible Builds join Conservancy!
Deb Nicholson
