#How do I Join the Project
-Projects at Apache operate under a meritocracy, meaning those that the
developers notice participating to a high extent will be invited to join the
project as a committer.
+Projects at Apache operate under a [meritocracy][10], meaning those that the
developers notice participating to a high extent will be invited to join the
project as a committer.
This is as much based on personality and ability to work with other developers
and the community as it is with proven technical ability. Being unhelpful to
other users, or obviously looking to become a committer for bragging rights and
nothing else is frowned upon, as is asking to be made a committer without
having contributed sufficiently to be invited.
-Apache VCL has some basic [guidelines][7] on the steps to become eligible for
consideration to become a Apache VCL committer.
