Re: [che-dev] [ecd-pmc] Committer Election for Samantha Dawley on Eclipse Che™ has started
No. Who somebody works for has no direct relevance in a committer election. We certainly do care about employer when it comes to getting committer agreements in place, but that comes after the election.

That the candidate is being paid to work on the project grants them an excellent opportunity to develop direct experience and make contributions to the project to build and demonstrate merit.

While I tend to assume that experience building technology on top of an open source project likely means that the individual understands the open source technology, it is not the same as actually engaging in the open source project's process and having contributions to the open source project accepted.

Who the candidate works for or what they've been hired to do are not relevant in a committer election. Nor is what the candidate may do or is expected to do in the future relevant in a committer election.

I agree in general with that sentiment, however, being paid to work on a project allows you to spend significant time on it, so it's relevant information nevertheless.


A committer nomination statement must cite specific contributions to the open source project.

What specific contributions has the candidate made to the Eclipse Che project?
 
If I understand you correctly, you object that the linked bugs are for the Red Hat CRW product and not the Eclipse Che project, right? Or do you think the work shown is insufficient?
