Dear PMC and Eclipse SDV Blueprints Project team.
As you know, our open source rules of engagement require that project teams operate in an open, transparent, and meritocratic manner.
As part of this, elections of both committers and project leads must include a demonstration of merit. Specifically, the nomination statement for an election should provide examples of how the candidate has demonstrated an understanding of the role they're being elected to. This demonstration is for both the project team and for the community.
Describing what the candidate does or will do within the context of the project is not enough. You'll beed to provide links that prove it.
Here are some useful links regarding Committer elections:
If these candidates are ready to be committers, then it should be easy for you to find some examples of contributions to cite in a merit statement. If there is no public record to cite, then it should be relatively easy for candidate committers to make some meaningful contributions via pull requests that you can cite when you rerun the election later.
I suggest deleting the election records that you recently opened for Eclipse SDV Blueprints (i.e. Mario Alberto Ortegon Cabrera, Jannis de Veer and Anneke Minke) and would like to invite the project team to restart the election.
Let me know if you have any questions.
