Open VSX Listing: Signing the Publisher Agreement
brianking opened this issue · 6 comments
Thank you for being part of the Open VSX community by adding your extensions to the Open VSX Registry. Please note that the service was recently transferred to the Eclipse Foundation and urgent action on your part is needed so we can continue to list your extensions. To ensure uninterrupted service, please sign the Eclipse Publisher Agreement on or before January 8, 2021. If not signed by that date, your extensions will be delisted and will no longer appear on the site nor be available via the API. If you sign at a later date, your extensions will then be re-activated. The signing process is explained in the Wiki (steps 1 and 2).
Please also note that all extensions MUST have a license in order to be listed.
More details are in these recent blog posts:

If you are the project maintainer, we urge you to claim the namespace for your extension(s). To find out how to do this, see:

Today, there’s growing momentum around open source tools and technologies that support Visual Studio (VS) Code extensions. Leading global organizations are adopting these tools and technologies. This momentum has spurred demand for a marketplace without restrictions and limitations. Thanks for joining us on this journey as we continue to build the Open VSX community. We look forward to continued innovation from you in 2021!
@amiralies Bringing this issue to your attention again in case you missed it.
Thank you Brian. I'm asking flow team on discord to help with this.
is there anything I can do? I'm not owner or the team/org member of the extension.
@amiralies It's ok for you to sign the Publisher Agreement as the existing publisher of the extension. Then anyone with deeper involvement can, if they like, claim the namespace and continue to publish new versions (as can namespace contributors).

Ok I've signed the publisher agreement.
Feel free to ping me if there's anything I can help with.
Thanks.
To the maintainers: If you would like to take over publishing to open-vsx.org, here’s how: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions
