Re: Committer Acknowledgement from Apache Community
Note that you should be somewhat cautious when people ask for formal documentation. However replying to an email with a pointer to our committer webpages (or any other publicly available, factual information) is always fine to do. So yes, if the person is a committer, it's fine to let the requester know that, and you can factually state your relationship to the project (I.e. VP/chair or PMC member). But we generally don't write recommendation letters for individuals when wearing PMC or Chair hats. You're obviously free to write that kind of thing as an individual from your personal email address, if you want to. Sometimes simply saying yes, they're a committer, and this webpage is the ASF's official listing of committers is good; that makes it explicit to the outsider that our apache.org web pages are definitive. - Shane - To unsubscribe, e-mail: community-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: community-h...@apache.org

Hi, I recently got a request from a PMC member for formal recognition that they are an Apache Committer. I assume that being listed here is not official enough? http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html Thanks, Justin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: community-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: community-h...@apache.org
Re: Committer Acknowledgement from Apache Community
I am curious if the public committer list will not suffice to verify? - http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html May be the employer is wanting a human to verify and not trust web resources, I can understand. But also wonder if the apache email address, public archives of dev list emails and commit notifications will not prove the asf committership.
