Yes, Arrow Committers and PMC Members may wish to add Apache Arrow to the Experience section of their LinkedIn profiles. To do this you must fill in three required fields: 1 - position 2 - month of start date 3 - year of start date If you wish to do this, I suggest filling the position field with "Committer", "PMC Member", or "PMC Chair" (whichever is appropriate) and filling the start date according to when your membership was announced on the dev mailing list. In the case of PMC Members or Chairs, you can add multiple entries (some with end dates) to show your different positions over time. Those who add Apache Arrow to the Experience section of their LinkedIn profiles will appear in the list of people affiliated with Apache Arrow at https://www.linkedin.com/company/apache-arrow/people/. I intend to occasionally check the list of people in that list to ensure no one is misrepresenting themself. LinkedIn allows company admins to report such misrepresentations [10].
