| New Committers |
| -------------- |
| |
| When a candidate is identified by a PPMC member as someone who might be a good official committer to TinkerPop, the |
| PPMC member should open a DISCUSS thread on the private TinkerPop mailing list. The thread should provide some |
| background and reasoning for why that member believes the candidate would be a good committer. Given enough time for |
| feedback on the candidate and presuming there is still positive interest in doing so, a VOTE thread on the private |
| TinkerPop mailing list is started to get the official stance. As per usual, the VOTE will be made open for no less |
| than 72 hours. |
| |
| If the VOTE closes with a successful positive vote to make the candidate a committer, then send the following email |
| to the candidate and copy the private TinkerPop mailing list: |

| SUBJECT: Invitation to become TinkerPop committer: [candidate name] |
| |
| Hello, |
| |
| The TinkerPop Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) hereby offers you committer privileges to the project. |
| These privileges are offered on the understanding that you'll use them reasonably and with common sense. We like to |
| work on trust rather than unnecessary constraints. |
| |
| Being a committer enables you to more easily make changes without needing to go through the patch submission process. |
| |
| Being a committer does not require you to participate any more than you already do. It does tend to make one even more |
| committed. You will probably find that you spend more time here. |
| |
| Of course, you can decline and instead remain as a contributor, participating as you do now. |
| |
| A. This personal invitation is a chance for you to accept or decline in private. Either way, please let us know in |
| reply to the private@tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org address only. |
| |
| B. If you are accepting, the next step is to register an iCLA with the Apache Software Foundation: |
| 1. Details of the iCLA and the forms are found through this link: http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas. |
| |
| 2. The form (text or PDF version) provides instructions for its completion and return to the Secretary of the ASF. |
| |
| 3. When you transmit the completed iCLA, request to notify the Apache TinkerPop and choose a unique Apache id. |
| Look to see if your preferred id is already taken at http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html This will |
| allow the Secretary to notify the PMC when your iCLA has been recorded. |
| |
| When recording of your iCLA is noticed, you will receive a follow-up message with the next steps for establishing you |
| as a committer. |
| ---- |
| |
| Assuming the individual accepts, the next step is to get their account created. As we are in incubation, we will |
| need to contact a mentor for help with this step. |
| |
| Upon confirming with the new committer that their account is established, send an announcement email to the |
| developer and user mailing lists: |
| |
| [source,text] |
| ---- |
| SUBJECT: New Committer: [committer name] |
| |
| The Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) for Apache TinkerPop has asked [committer name] to become a committer |
| and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted. |
| |
| [describe the nature of the committers work in the community] |
| |
| Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since there is no need to work via the patch submission |
| process. This should enable better productivity. |
