Board notification

Adding a new PMC member requires sending an email notification to the Board's mailing list and the PMC's private mailing list and waiting 72 hours. Once the notification appears in the archives, an invitation may be sent out 72 hours later (unless a Director objects to the nomination). The detailed process can be found in the June 2013 board minutes under section "7 G. Amend the Procedure for PMC Membership Changes"

Ensure the PMC private list is copied - but do not Cc the potential member. For example:

[NOTICE] Jane Doe for Juneau PMC

Juneau proposes to invite [Jane Doe](janedoe) to join the PMC.

(include if a vote was held)
The vote result is available here: https://lists.apache.org/...

It should noted that there is a grace period of 72 hours from when the above NOTICE is sent to the Incubator PMC to when the proposed member is formally invited. This is an important part of the overall process. Failure to do this can result in an embarrassing situation for people involved.

PMC Invite

After 72 hours, Joe Bob should be invited to join the PMC, using a sample message like this:

You're invited to join the Juneau PMC!

Hello [Jane Doe],

The Juneau Project Management Committee (PMC)
hereby offers you committer privileges to the project
as well as membership in the PMC. 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 PMC member enables you
to guide the direction of the project.

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@juneau.apache.org
address only.

B. If you accept, the next step is to register an iCLA:
1. Details of the iCLA and the forms are found
through this link: http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

2. Instructions for its completion and return to
the Secretary of the ASF are found at
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#submitting

3. When you transmit the completed iCLA, request
to notify the Apache Juneau 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.


PMC Accept

This is the followup email after the new committer has accepted the invitation:

Subject: Re: invitation to become Juneau PMC member

Welcome. Here are the next steps. After that we will make
an announcement to the juneau-dev list.

You need to send a Contributor License Agreement to the ASF.
Normally you would send an Individual CLA. If you also make
contributions done in work time or using work resources then
see the Corporate CLA. Ask us if you have any issues.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

You need to choose a preferred ASF user name and alternatives.
In order to ensure it is available you can view a list of taken ids at
http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html

Please notify us when you have submitted the CLA and by what means
you did so. This will enable us to monitor its progress.

We will arrange for your Apache user account when the CLA has
been recorded.

After that is done, please make followup replies to the juneau-dev list.
We generally discuss everything there and keep the
private@juneau.apache.org list for occasional matters which must be private.

The developer section of the website describes the roles and provides other
resources:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/

The incubator also has some useful information for new committers
in incubating projects:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html

Just as before you became a committer, participation in any ASF community
requires adherence to the ASF Code of Conduct:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html

Yours,
The Apache Juneau PMC

PMC Account Creation

Follow the instructions here.

...

After the committer account is established.

Account request: Jane Doe

As you know, the ASF Infrastructure has set up your
committer account as the username '[janedoe]'.

Please follow the instructions to set up your SSH,
svn password, svn configuration, mail forwarding, etc.
http://www.apache.org/dev/#committers

Please subscribe to the Juneau Project Management
Committee mailing list private@juneau.apache.org.

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

Juneau has various resources at:
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/juneau.git
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/juneau-website.git

The general "committers" at:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers

If you have any questions during this phase, then please

see the following resources:

Apache developer's pages: http://www.apache.org/dev/
Naturally, if you don't understand anything be sure to ask us on the Juneau dev mailing list.

Documentation is maintained by volunteers and hence can be out-of-date and incomplete - of course
you can now help fix that.

A PMC member will announce your election to the dev list soon.

PMC Announce

This is the email to announce to juneau-dev once the account has been created.
