Subject: Sign the Apache ICLA for Apache Seata (incubating)

Dear Seata contributor,

We are pleased to inform you that Seata has now entered the ASF Incubator. This marks an important milestone for the Seata community, and this would not have been possible without everyone's continuous contributions to the community. On this occasion, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your past and ongoing support.

As we enter into the ASF incubator, a more open and collaborative community governance model, we kindly request all contributors to sign the Apache Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA). The ICLA is a necessary step to legally protect both you, as a contributor, and the ASF, ensuring that the intellectual property is clear and properly managed.
Signing the ICLA is a straightforward process:

1. Download the ICLA: You can find the ICLA form at: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf
2. Complete the ICLA: Fill out the form with your details. Be sure to provide accurate information that matches your identity and record of contributions.
3. Submit the ICLA: You can email a scanned copy of the signed ICLA to the ASF Secretary at: [email protected] and please remember to CC: [email protected] for our records.

For a detailed explanation of the ICLA and how your contributions are managed, please visit the ASF's official documentation at https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html.
Please note that the ICLA is a one-time requirement, and it does not change your rights to use or distribute Seata nor the obligations you have from using it. It simply allows you to continue contributing to Seata under the ASF umbrella.
We sincerely hope that you will continue to be an active member of the Seata community as we embark on this exciting new chapter. Your expertise, insights, and dedication will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the future of Seata within the ASF's vibrant ecosystem.

If you have any questions or require assistance with the ICLA process, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you once again for your incredible contributions to Seata. We look forward to your continued involvement.

Warm regards,

主题：为Apache Seata（孵化中）签署 Apache ICLA

Dear Seata contributor,

我们很高兴地通知大家，Seata目前已进入ASF 孵化器中。这标志着Seata社区达到了一个重要的里程碑，这离不开过去大家对社区的持续贡献。借此机会，我们想要表达我们对您过去及持续支持的感激之情。

随着我们向ASF的一个更开放和协作的社区治理模型过渡，我们恳请所有贡献者签署Apache个人贡献者许可协议（ICLA）。ICLA是一个必须的步骤，它能够从法律上保护您作为贡献者以及ASF，确保知识产权是清晰并且得到妥善管理的。
签署ICLA是一个简单的过程：

1. 下载ICLA：您可以在以下链接找到ICLA表格： http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf
2. 填写ICLA：用您的详细信息填写表格。请确保提供与您的身份和贡献记录相匹配的准确信息。
3. 提交ICLA：您可以将签署后的ICLA扫描件通过电子邮件发送给ASF秘书处： [email protected] 同时，将邮件抄送给: [email protected] 方便我们记录。

对于ICLA的解释和如何操作详细信息，请参考： https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html.
请注意，ICLA是一次性要求，它不会改变您使用或分发Seata的权利，也不会改变您使用Seata所承担的义务。它只是允许您在ASF的保护伞下继续为Seata做出贡献。
我们真诚地希望您在我们开始这一激动人心的新篇章时，能够继续成为Seata社区的活跃成员。您的专业知识、见解和奉献精神无疑将在塑造Seata在ASF充满活力的生态系统中的未来中发挥关键作用。

如果您对ICLA流程有任何疑问或需要帮助，请随时与我们联系。再次感谢您对Seata的巨大贡献。我们期待您的持续参与。

敬上，
季敏
