Re: [ofmp-dev] Committer Election for Jan Blankenhorn

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's actually not at all strange.

When Nathan was hired by the Eclipse Foundation to work as a web 
designer, he had to go through a process of becoming a committer on the 
Phoenix project. He started by making several contributions though 
bugzilla which existing committers reviewed and then committed on his 
behalf. After he established a trend of contributing high-quality 
patches and other contributions, he was nominated as a committer. The 
same is true for Gabe and Karl on various projects they commit on.

Being a committer on an Eclipse project is all about merit. You have to 
demonstrate that you have the required credentials to be a committer 
before you can become one.

Can you describe a little more about the work Jan did on the Victoria 
project? What functionality did he contribute? Is there some existing 
part of OFMP that you can cite as work Jan did?
