Puppet users - Jan 2013 - New Trivial Patch Exemption Policy for open source contributions

I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of a slight change we''ve
made to the process for open source contributions. For *trivial*
contributions, we are no longer requiring a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA). Note that for most contributions a CLA signature is
still required. I''m also working on making the overall CLA process
easier, but that will take a little more time to overhaul.

You can see more about our definition of trivial and how to use the
process here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/community/trivial_patch_exemption.html

Hopefully, this will make it easier for people to make small
contributions to our projects. Again, remember that this is only for
trivial contributions. Most contributions will still require a CLA.
See the link above for exactly what can / cannot be considered
trivial.

We will be updating our contributing.md files soon to include this
information. If you are unfamiliar with our contribution process, you
can get more information and links to our CLA from the Puppet
contributing.md file:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

For any questions about the process, ping me, and I''m happy to answer
them.

Regards,
Dawn Foster
