| <div class="section-content"> |
| <p>The <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Committers">Roles and Responsibilities</a> document describes the general role of a |
| committer on an incubating project. This page provides links to |
| more information to help new committers get started.</p> |
| <h3 id='Mailing+Lists'>Mailing Lists</h3> |
| <div class="section-content"> |
| <p>Everything -- but <em>everything</em>-- inside the Apache world |
| occurs or is reflected in email. As some people say, 'If it isn't |
| in my email, it didn't happen.' Decisions only get made on public |
| Apache mail lists -- not anywhere off list, such as IRC, IM, or private |
| emails.</p> |
| <p> Each project has a set of lists, which are typically called |
| <em>project</em>-dev, <em>project</em>-user, and |
| <em>project</em>-commits. A few <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html">Apache-wide lists</a> cross all boundaries, including:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>committers</strong>: sends important messages to all |
| Apache committers; it's not used for discussions; |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>community</strong>: where all Apache committers can |
| discuss things that are about Apache; |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>infrastructure</strong>: where the roots and the |
| infrastructure team discuss and work on the Apache |
| infrastructure needs; |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>legal-discuss</strong>: where Apache committers can |
| ask questions that have a legal aspect; |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>repository</strong>: discussions about the Apache |
| artifact repository; |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>party</strong>: where people plan how to have fun. :-) |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Action items for committers include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> Become familiar with Apache developer <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/contrib-email-tips.html">Tips |
| for email contributors</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li>Subscribe to the -user, -dev, and -commits lists for your |
| project.</li> |
| <li>Become aware of what else is going on in the Incubator by |
| subscribing to the Incubator's general list.</li> |
| <li>Become aware of what else is going on at the ASF by subscribing to the |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-community">community</a>, <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-infrastructure">infrastructure</a>, and <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-legal">legal-discuss</a> Apache-wide lists. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Apache also has private lists. For example, your project will |
| probably have a private mail list named <em>project</em>-private, |
| which your Podling PMC will use for sensitive discussions. Never |
| mix public and private mail lists in the same post -- see the |
| section titled <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html# management">Balancing confidentiality and public discussion</a> |
| in <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html">How it |
| Works</a>. For example, never include both your dev and private |
| lists in the same post. Posting to the dev list is sufficient |
| because each member of your Podling PMC will also be on that |
| list. </p> |

| <h3 id='Project+Web+Site'>Project Web Site</h3> |
| <div class="section-content"> |
| <p>The Incubator <a href="sites.html">Podling Websites</a> guide documents how to get |
| your project web site going.</p> |

| <h3 id='Committer+Resources'>Committer Resources</h3> |
| <div class="section-content"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>The <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html"> |
| Guide for New Committers </a>is a great place to start and |
| points to additional committer-only resources.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Browse the pages at <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev">http://www.apache.org/dev/</a> |
| often. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Subscribe to the <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html# foundation-infrastructure">infrastructure</a> list, then |
| raise awareness on your project on what goes on behind the |
| scenes.</p> |
| <p>Be proactive about responding to infrastructure issues on |
| your project mailing lists. Does the web server seem to be |
| down? Is Jira or Subversion down? Check the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/#status">status of servers</a> |
| and explain the reason to your project lists (as you can |
| see, no need to alert the ASF infrastructure people).</p> |
