Linux Foundation Launches EasyCLA Beta at Open Source Summit Japan

During this year's Open Source Summit in Japan, July 17-19, the Linux Foundation will launch the open beta for one of the CommunityBridge services called EasyCLA.

EasyCLA helps maintainers of open source projects streamline their workflows and reduce the hassle of managing Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) and authorized contributors. By automating many of the manual processes, this software-as-a-service reduces delays for developers to get authorized under both individual and corporate CLAs.

After July 17th, you can read more about EasyCLA on the Linux Foundation blog. You can view the open source code on GitHub.
