Re: [technology-pmc] EPF: Official voting record - new Committers - Batch2

Per,
21+ committers is a lot of committers - are these people actually doing anything?  Have these new committers demonstrated their ability to follow the project's processes?  Do they write good code? Good documentation? Has their work been peer reviewed?  I don't see any of that evidence on the mailing list.

I quote from the Charter (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/Eclipse_Standard_TopLevel_Charter_v1.0.php)
  • Developers who give frequent and valuable contributions to a Project, ... can have their status promoted to that of a "Committer" for that Project or component respectively.
  • Active participation in the user newsgroup and the appropriate developer mailing lists is a responsibility of all Committers, ...
  • Becoming a Committer is a privilege that is earned by contributing and showing discipline and good judgment. It is a responsibility that should be neither given nor taken lightly.
Please clarify the situation here.

Thanks,
Bjorn

Hi,

I hereby notify the PMC about a yes vote for the 9 new committers listed below.

Last week, we also voted yes on 5 new committers per
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epf-dev/msg00022.html

Finally, the EPF team before that had 7 committers. This provides us with a total of 21 committers elected.
More committers are expected to be voted in after the next face-to-face committer meeting in Bilbao, Spain on March 6-7.
Finally, we also plan to have a 3rd committer face-to-face meeting in conjunction with EclipseConn on March 23-24.

Thanks

Vote on new Committers - Batch2






Hi,

we need to vote on new committers, batch 2. We need 3 yes, and no veto to accept a new committer.
I am voting yes through this e-mail.

If there are other people that expect to become committers, but are not on the list below, please send me a note asap and we will do one more vote. I do not want to vote on people that are still iffy on whether they will be committers or not, and I know many organizations are still finalizing who should be a committer.

The following people have voting rights (and no others need to reply):
- Peter Haumer
- Ricardo Balduino
- Jim Thario
- Per Kroll
- Charlie Yan
- Kelvin Low
- Jao Tham
We need +3 of you to respond with Yes. You can also Obstain or Veto. If you veto, you need to provide a reason for your veto within 24 hours, or your veto is ignored.
<The people that were voted on last week has not yet become confirmed committers, and does hence not yet have the right to vote. I am filing the forms (#3 on http://www.eclipse.org/legal/newcommitter.php) for you today, and if you have done #2, and #4, it should only take a few more days.>

- Kurt Sand - Telelogic
- Chris Sibbald - Telelogic
- Brian Haughton – BearingPoint
- Bruce MacIsaac - IBM
- Jim Ruehlin - IBM
- Todd Fredrickson - IBM
- Naveena Bereny - IBM
- Scott Ambler - AmbySoft
- DJ de Villiers - Ivar Jacobson International


Again, if you expected your name here, and it is not, it is because I am still uncertain of whether you are firm as a committer. Please send me a note confirming that you should be a committer.
For those in Europe that has expressed interest, but have not yet had a chance to become fully engaged, we may wait until you had a chance to attend the March 6-7 meeting before making you committers.

Thanks
