["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Wayne, for that background.  It
helps.

Now, how can I see the full list of
nominations that I can vote on?  Without having to click through every
one of these emails...  :-)

Greetings EE4J PMC.

You may have noticed that we've received a pretty healthy
batch of new committer election notices...

According to the Eclipse Development Process, in order
for a committer election to be considered valid, a demonstration of merit
is required. Generally, merit is demonstrated with publicly accessible
links to tangible contributions by the nominee to the project in the nomination
statement.

Any minimum measure of quantity and quality of those contributions
is left to the discretion of the PMC. Having said that, there has to be
some minimum that's greater than zero. Basically, we need at least some
visible proof that the nominee understands the Eclipse Development Process
and is a good fit with the project team. This is part of operating in an
open and transparent manner; the demonstration of merit is open for all
to see.

Having said all that, projects that are bootstrapping
are in a bit of a special state and some amount of leeway during this bootstrapping
period is, IMHO, reasonable. I recommend that we permit the current batch
of elections to progress per the usual process and respect the outcome
of the vote by the project teams.

In the steady state (e.g. after the first release), we'll
need to tighten up the requirements and decide what sort of minimum bar
that we'd like to set for a merit statement. This should be documented
(I've opened an issueto track this).

I'll also take this opportunity to note that the employment
status of a nominee must not be a factor in a project role election.

I'll wrap this up by acknowledging that the election process
is optimized for electing a single individual to a single project and I
appreciate the level of monotony involved with trying to get somebody onto
multiple projects.
