Dear Maria,
You probably know that SDV Blueprints Project is an umbrella organization where we invite committers/contributors from SDV and general eclipse projects to collaborate to create showcases/examples of existing SDV projects working together.
As such many of the nominees are already committers in other SDV projects (for example eclipse ibeji/charriot in Mario's case). Some blueprints are brand new, others are migrated from different projects, and we create a brand new repository under the blueprints project for each such "blueprint". We use github issues to openly/transparently discuss and vote these blueprints into the project. Please see:
You are probably right that I should have been more verbose and maybe copied many of these to the discussion and blueprint vetting results to the nomination. If this is the preferred way, I would be more than happy to delete Mario's nomination and do it again.
The other nominees Anneke/Jan will be the committers that will code the insurance blueprint. This is a brand new blueprint, there is no prior code., and the blueprint is still at the design/requirements stage, so forcing them to create their contributions as pull requests apriori will force them to work outside the project in a private or other github repo, and, IMHO will be less transparent and open.
I am going to HOLD until I hear guidance from EMO as this will probably repeat a few more times in the future.
BR,
Naci
