Subject: Invitation to become Apache NiFi committer: [invitee]
Hello [invitee],
 
The Apache NiFi Project Management Committee (PMC) hereby offers you Committer membership 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. Although you will be granted commit access to project repositories, you will be expected to adhere to project best practices when committing. This link has great resources on expectations and what the process will be like: <http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html>.
 
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 on the project.
 
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@nifi.apache.org] address only.
 
B. We've checked and it appears you have a Contributor License Agreement already filed with the Apache Foundation (per http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html#unlistedclas), but please review this link <http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas> and if you have concerns, please include those in your acceptance reply. 
 
If you accept, you will receive a follow-up message with the next steps for establishing you as a Committer.

We look forward to your response!

Subject: [committer]: What to do now that you're a committer
[committer], as you know, the ASF Infrastructure has set up your committer account as the username '[committer username]'.

Please visit the link and follow the instructions to set up your SSH, mail forwarding, etc.: <http://www.apache.org/dev/#committers>


Ensure you're subscribed to the Apache NiFi Developers mailing list dev@nifi.apache.org. We also recommend subscribing to the Users and Commits mailing lists at users@nifi.apache.org and commits@nifi.apache.org


We recommend being very familiar with the Apache NiFi contributors guide: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Contributor+Guide


You have commit access to specific sections of the ASF repository, as follows:


Apache NiFi has various resources at:  
 - Source Code for Apache NiFi  https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/nifi.git
 - Source Code for Apache NiFi Maven Plugins https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/nifi-site.git
 - The NiFi web site source: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/nifi-maven.git


And you have access to the general "committers" repository:
 - https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committer
 
To commit, ensure you use https in your git remotes, or if you've been pulling from a mirror like github, you'll need to add a remote such as:
 $ git remote add apache https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/nifi.git


If you have any questions during this phase, then please see the following resources:


  - Apache developer's pages: http://www.apache.org/dev/
  - New committers guide: http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html


Naturally, if you don't understand anything be sure to ask us on the NiFi dev mailing list. Please note, documentation is maintained by volunteers and hence can be out-of-date and incomplete - of course you can now help fix that.
