Re: [technology-pmc] Filing a CQ; where is the form?
As I said, I did find my way eventually.  And I created the CQ for Spatial4j’s dependency on JTS.  In an early step in the creation form it asks if there is a similar CQ, and in fact in this case there is — another LocationTech project’s dependency on JTS.  This made my CQ a so-called “piggyback-CQ”.  Here’s the one I created, if you are curious: 9330

Hi David,

Once you have logged into portal.eclipse.org, do the following:

1.  Click on [view] next to locationtech.technology.spatial4j.
2.  Next click on [request].
3.  Enter the name of the project.  Strangely, this is broken.  I tried 'jts' and 'JTS' and didn't find anything.
4.  Once you have searched (likely successfully), you'll get a form you can populate.
5.  Hit submit.

6.  Over in IPZilla, you'll need to submit source code.
7.  When it says 'awaiting pmc', you can one or more of us.  A PMC Member or Wayne from Eclipse has to +1 the dependency.

8.  IP does a quick check, and then allows 'parallel check-in'. 
9.  IP does a full check.

I don't know when between 8 and 9 we should be allowed to upload artifacts to LT's Nexus repo.  David, if you have just 2 or 3 jars, I may be able to knock them out for you. 

Cheers,

Jim

I’m sure this has been discussed but I can’t for the life of me file a CQ right now.  I recall being confounded the last time I filed one a couple weeks ago.  The user/developer experience for this is terrible!  Sorry for venting; but when you can’t do what should be the simplest thing …  Argh!

Here’s what I did:

* I started from the point of viewing an existing CQ that is similar to one I wanted to create: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7221

* Then I clicked the “New” link at top-right.  

* This took me to simple page, mostly white that said just this:
The Contribution Questionnaire has been moved to the portal. Please access it in its new location: http://portal.eclipse.org/ 
So I clicked that link.

* I was presented with a login form.  I logged in.

* At this point I’m lost.  I believe this is called the “My foundation portal” there is an Eclipse Projects portlet and a Profile portlet.  The profile one is probably not right so I focus my attention on the projects portlet.  It shows I’m a committer & project lead for Spatial4j, with a link.  And it has a “Tools” link for all committers, it says.  I clicked on “Tools”.

Okay at this point I answered my question for the 3rd go around as I typed up my experience.  I was supposed to click on the “View” link for my project, which then brought up a menu of options and one was for a CQ.  Clicking Tools was not the right path.

Note that I *did* view these instructions:
But I think the instructions and picture are at a minimum misleading, and at worst just plain wrong. I went down another wild goose chase following these.  Perhaps the instructions there are out of date; I don’t know.
