+1. Welcome Albert! While on the topic, I like to raise a discussion on the formation of contributors and core contributors for the desktop communities. Starting with some questions: - Community leaders - are they the same as core contributors? - Where are the list of desktop contributors? (I know there was a list put up for election of OGB) Should they not be placed on the community page? Creating a list of core contributors and contributors for each some communities may help new comers to ping these people for involvement. - While all of the desktop team in Sun are contributing to desktop projects in one way or another, very few are being acknowledged as contributors or even core contributors. One can argue that they got paid anyway and have access to the svn etc. But that is wrong approach I think. Without the acknowledgment, some people will do the minimum while others will definitely have no incentive of doing more.
- Also there is a growing awareness from the management within Sun to identify open source experience and contribution, formalizing the list of core contributors and contributors is the win-win thing to do now. Before we get into the details who/how one is acknowledged to be a core/contributers, do I get buy in from existing core/contributors to formalize this? :) -Ghee Stephen Lau wrote: > I'd like to propose the Desktop Community grant Contributor status to > Albert Lee. > He's done notable work and contributors in various Desktop related > projects, Compiz, SFE, etc. > > cheers, > steve > >
