The Cloud Native Computing Foundation defines the legal status of the contributed code in two different types of Contributor License Agreements (CLAs), individual contributors and corporations.
Kubernetes can only accept original source code from CLA signatories.
This policy does not apply to third_party and vendor.
It is important to read and understand this legal agreement.
Click one of:
- Individual signup to sign up as an individual or as an employee of a signed organization.
- Corporation signup to sign as a corporation representative and manage signups from your organization.
Once you get to the sign in form, click "Log in with Github":
Ensure that the e-mail address you use when completing this form matches the one you will use for your commits.
If you are signing up as an employee, you must use your official [email protected] email address in the CNCF account registration page.
After creating your account, follow the instructions to complete the signing process through HelloSign.
If you did not receive an email from HelloSign, then request it here.
Your Github email address must match the same address you use when signing the CLA. Github has documentation on setting email addresses.
You must also set your git e-mail to match this e-mail address as well.
If you already submitted a PR you can correct your user.name and user.email
and then use git commit --amend --reset-author and then git push --force to
correct the PR.
