| # Become a Committer |
| |
| An Apache IoTDB [committer](https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#committers) has write access to the repository for merging pull requests, but you don’t have to be a code contributor to become a committer. Becoming a committer means that you have the project’s trust. Read the [ASF documentation](https://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#committer-responsibilities) for more about being a committer in the Apache Software Foundation. |
| |
| The [PMC](https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc-members) makes someone a committer via nomination, discussion, and then majority vote. We use data from as many sources as possible to inform our reasoning. Here are some examples: |
| |
| - IoTDB expert and evangelist (documentations, blogs, etc..) |
| - Public events |
| - Firsthand PMC testimonials |
| |
| The PMC has assembled the following set of guidelines for becoming a committer. |
| |
| ## An Apache IoTDBcommitter… |
| |
| ### Takes many forms |
| |
| There are many actions other than coding that build the trust we place in a committer - code review, design discussion, user support, community outreach, improving infrastructure, documentation, project management, etc. |
| |
| ### Knows, upholds, and reinforces the Apache Software Foundation code of conduct |
| |
| See the [ASF documentation](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html). In particular, they manifestly strive to: |
| |
| - Be open |
| - Be empathetic |
| - Be welcoming |
| - Be friendly |
| - Be patient |
| - Be collaborative |
| - Be inquisitive |
| - Be careful in the words that they choose |
| |
| ### Knows, upholds, and reinforces the responsibilities of an Apache Software Foundation committer |
| |
| See the [ASF documentation](https://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#committer-responsibilities). |
| |
| - They help create a product that will outlive the interest of any particular volunteer (including themselves) |
| - They grow and maintain the health of the Apache community |
| - They help out with surrounding work, such as the website & documentation |
| - They help users |
| - They can be trusted to decide when code is ready for release, or when to ask someone else to make the judgment |
| - They can be trusted to decide when to merge code (if a code contributor) or when to ask someone else to make the judgment |
| |
| ### Knows, upholds, and reinforces the IoTDB community’s practices |
| |
| - They have a proven commitment to the project |
| - They share their intentions with the community |
| - They accept and integrate community feedback in their plans, designs, code, etc. |
| - They earnestly try to make IoTDB better with their contributions |
| - In particular, if a code contributor: |
| - They earnestly try to make IoTDB better with their own code |
| - They earnestly try to make IoTDB better with code review |
| - They accept and integrate feedback on their code |
| - They know, follow, and enforce IoTDB's practices while reviewing/merging code - style, documentation, testing, backward compatibility, etc. |
| |
| |
| The code of conduct is derived from [Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/contribute/become-a-committer/). |
