Hi Andrea, I have signed the contributor agreement and sent it with my employer's disclaimer today. I have just started working with Ben on GeoServer community/app-schema module and would appreciate commit access to this module. Ben would review my changes before committing to SVN, and I will be more active with the mailing list as I progress with my work.

Hi Ben, nice to hear you've someone helping you out with the work. The first thing that comes to mind is that Rini needs to sign and send a GeoServer contributor agreement or working for an organisation that already signed the contributor agreement). The second one is that it feels a bit un-natural to grant commit access to someone that never even wrote a mail to geoserver-devel. In open source the committer access is given on a mutual trust basis, each developer being evaluated as an individual and not by the company that employs her. The fact that you know her personally and that you trust her enough to nominate her for commit access (basically taking the responsibility of the evaluation completely on your shoulders) speaks well for her, and I can be persuaded to just say that it's ok to give her commit access to selected modules. I just hope she understands becoming part of an open source community is more than just having a commit access, but it's also about showing yourself directly on the ml and irc channel, communicate with the other developers about what you're doing and so on. An open source project is a network of people, not just a shared technical infrastructure, if you get what I mean.
