Ah, I wasn't aware of the corporate agreement system before.

I believe the instructions are at https://www.qt.io/contributionagreement/ -- your company needs to sign and scan a form, and email it to the Qt legal department. You can ask for more detailed instructions in the same email.

By the way, the forum's image uploading system is broken at the moment. We can't see your attached images. If you want to show us any more images, please upload them to an external image host and post the link here (until the forum is fixed)

We have sent the signed document from our company, and we got the counter signed from Qt company.

but my question is if we want to contribute from our company, what are the next steps?.

I see; I understand now.

I think the best person to ask is the person who sent you the counter signed form. (I don't have experience with the corporate agreement, sorry)

From my limited understanding, it looks like someone from the Qt Company needs to create a Gerrit group account for you.

[Pradeep Kumar]

I asked the Qt company people who sent response for our mail.

They said they don't create accounts. please follow the instructions and links in
https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contribution_Guidelines

So again do we need do the following from first setting up Gerrit account for the company as we did individually.

I'm not sure, sorry.

Hi @Pradeep-Kumar

I am not familiar with company accounts on Gerrit, but sent a mail to the Gerrit admins.
I'll get back once they take a look at the issue.

[Pradeep Kumar]

Thanks for your reply i will send the mail.

@Pradeep-Kumar all that is required from you is that a) all contributing pthinks employees have logged into gerrit and configured their (own) account and b) you tell us who of these people should be the admin of your group. i don't know how to make it yet clearer.

To be fair, these are the only relevant instructions I could find regarding the corporate agreement:

• https://www.qt.io/contributionagreement/

  1. The Agreement is signed by the company and a PDF scan of the Agreement is sent to Contribution Agreement / Legal Contact / Mika Pälsi
  2. The Qt Company countersigns the Agreement and returns an executed agreement to the Company.
  3. The Gerrit Administrator creates a group for the Company in question and attaches the Contribution Agreement to the group account.
  4. The contact persons from the Company are added into the administrator group by the Gerrit Administrator

• https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/settings/new-agreement

  • "Please DO NOT accept the Corporate CLA manually. You need to be added to your Company's group by your Gerrit Admin. Ask your manager who's the Gerrit admin in your company."

• https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contribution_Guidelines

  • "ask the owner of the according Gerrit user group to add your account to this group."

What's unclear is how to make someone a company's Gerrit Admin/owner. I've attempted to clarify this in the wiki. Please modify as you see fit, and please add similar info to the other 2 links too.

Correct. We cannot see any of the images you uploaded to the forum.

Upload your image to an external host, and then use the method that @Wieland described at https://forum.qt.io/topic/62615/how-to-insert-image-on-this-forum
