Becoming a committer:

Qpid uses the following guidelines for voting in new committers. First off we would like new committers to have provided meaningful contribution to the project. By contributions we include development (tests, features, examples) or documentation through patches and interactions with the project through lists and JIRA.

The key question is what does the Qpid project consider to be a meaningful contribution to be come a committer. As this bar is set for all new commiters Qpid will be conservative in general with adding new committers.

The Qpid project will look to see if someone consistently provides quality contributions and interactions with the project over a period or 1 to 2 months. Based on that the PPMC will vote the new committers onto the project.

If you have any question please mail qpid-dev@incubator.apache.org or qpid-private@incubator.apache.org

Many thanks for you interest,
the Qpid team.
