Company contributor agreement

[Maarten de Waard]

Hi all,

I work at a company and we would like to do some open source additions to the edx-platform code. (e.g. this one: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/15125).

The friendly bot tells me to sign the individual contributor agreement, but that might not be enough. The code I write is officially property of the company I work at, so is there also a contributor agreement we can sign as a company? I couldn't find anything about this on the site, but the fact that the only one I can find is called "individual" seems to suggest there's also another one. For us as a company it would also be easier to be able to sign something for all our developers at the same time.

Regards and thanks,
Maarten

Hi Maarten,

I apologize for not getting back to you earlier, as you can imagine we were quite busy preparing for the conference.

We don't advertise the institutional agreement because it's not as common a process, but we will take your feedback and think about how we can expose that better.

Our legal department is now in correspondence with you regarding the institutional agreement, so I'll be on the lookout for that to come through. Once you've signed that, you can just let os...@edx.org know of any changes in your personnel.
