Re: [mpc-dev] [technology-pmc] Committer Election for Frederic Ebelshaeu

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse Foundation Development Process defines three "open source rules of engagement". Specifically, Eclipse projects are required to operate in an open, transparent, and meritocratic manner.

In this regard, committer elections cannot be run on speculation that an individual will contribute.

How do you mean "behind the scenes"? There must be no "behind the scenes" when a project is operating in an open and transparent manner. Strategic decisions must never be made behind the scenes. Can you point to any bugs/issue comments that have been contributed by the nominee?

If the nominee is ready to be a committer, then my expectation is that they should be able to make a small number of contributions via pull requests to demonstrate that to the community.

A committer election for Frederic Ebelshaeuser on project Eclipse Marketplace
Client (technology.packaging.mpc) was started by Leif Geiger with this
criteria:

I would like to suggest we appoint Frederic as a committer on the Eclipse
Marketplace Project. He will help us build an improved platform and also
provide a better user experience for both the platform itself and the Eclipse
Marketplace Client.

Even though Frederic has not made any formal contributions to the project
itself yet, his strategic input has made our work on the Eclipse Marketplace
Client noticeably better on several occasions in the past.  He continuously
helped us maintain the Marketplace Client behind the scenes and pushed the
concepts that help us modernize the Client. Furthermore, Frederic  has also
proved extremely knowledgeable about web-based technologies when we discussed
the new frontend.

In future, I hope that we can tap Frederic's know-how while we plan and
implement the new user experience for our Eclipse Marketplace Client.

I am confident that the whole project will benefit from having Frederic
formally on board as a committer.
