There are no hard and fast rules, but here are a few things that typically would prompt considering somebody a candidate for a committer 1. participation in the mailing list conversations 2. code contributions (patches submitted to JIRA or PRs) committed by existing committers 3. documentation contributions 4. wiki/social media contributions 5. review of patches submitted by others 6. reviews of release candidates 7. bug reports 8. work with peers collaboratively and potentially as a mentor to new contributors More discussions are welcomed :-) Cheers Lei On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 1:15 PM, Lei Chang <[email protected]> wrote: > > My thought is that a committer should be able to act as a mentor, work > with peers collaboratively and contribute to the project continuously or a > long time period. > > What do you guys think? > > Cheers > Lei > > > > On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 6:38 AM, Roman Shaposhnik <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Lei, what are your thoughts on the required level of >> contribution to be considered? >> >> Thanks, >> Roman. >> >> On Sun, Dec 6, 2015 at 11:57 PM, Lei Chang <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > add the link: >> > http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html#new-committer-process >> > >> > On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Lei Chang <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > >> >> >> >> Here is the common apache process for becoming a new committer. >> >> >> >> Cheers >> >> Lei >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 11:07 AM, Roman Shaposhnik < >> [email protected]> >> >> wrote: >> >> >> >>> Hi Xin! >> >>> >> >>> this is a great question.
