| [adoptium-wg] Adoptium Working Group Elections - Call for Nominations |
The Adoptium Working Group Charter identifies the Steering committee as a key governing body to drive various aspects of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled.
The elected positions are to represent the Enterprise, Participant and Committer Members - one seat each. A reminder that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees and thus Strategic member companies do not participate in this election.
Through this email, we are formally announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold these elections on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below:
Nomination Eligibility:
Enterprise Members are: Bloomberg L.P. , Canonical Group Limited, IBM Participant Members are: iJUG Interessenverbund der Java-User Groups e V, Open Elements GmbH
Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of the working group. Committers may be considered members by virtue of either a) being employed by a working group corporate member, or b) an individual committer who has executed the Eclipse Foundation Membership Agreement in order to attain the rights, privileges and obligations of a Committer Member. If you are interested but unsure if you are a committer member, please reach out to us and/or learn more here ..
Time Commitment In terms of time requirements, most committees meet on a bi-weekly basis for a one-hour conference call.
