Hi Paul,
Can you clarify, what is an Influencer member, and what is a Participant member, and in particular how it's decided who is an Influencer and who is a Participant? In the Eclipse membership levels, I see 5 different types of membership - Strategic, Enterprise, Solutions, Participant and Committer - do these levels at all relate to the Influencer or Participant membership? I can't find any public documentation on this, I can find a definition of what Influencer and Participant members are:
But I can't see anything saying how someone or a company becomes either a Influencer or a Participant member - there's instructions for general "membership", but not specific to these levels. And I can see on that page that my company (Lightbend) is a Participant member, but the only membership level that I recall when we went through the process of joining Eclipse was Solutions member, I don't recall anything ever being said about being a participant member. What makes us a participant member? Who decided that? And who are the influencer members?
Regards,
James
