THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

- Everyone who is listed at https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/NetBeansProposal can become an Apache NetBeans committer and PPMC (Podling Project Management Committee) member by submitting the required paperwork. For those in that list, the final step in becoming a committer is to send your iCLA (individual contributor license agreement) to Apache. Here it is: https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf. Under "notify project", please put NETBEANS. Under "preferred Apache id(s)", please put an ID of your choice, which does not already exist (check here: http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html). Please print out the iCLA, complete it and sign it, scan it, and then e-mail the PDF file to secretary@apache.org. Once you have sent in your iCLA, you will receive a notification and your Apache ID. You will then be ready to commit code to Apache NetBeans, once the code has been transferred from Oracle. NetBeans PPMC members should also join private@netbeans.incubator.apache.org (by sending a mail to private-subscribe@netbeans.incubator.apache.org) which is the PPMC's private list. Only things that really need to be private are discussed there, such as candidates for committership but not much more than that. As usual at the ASF, everything happens in the open unless really really required.
- Other community members can become Apache NetBeans committers (and maybe also PPMC members) once the NetBeans PPMC elects them to those roles, based on people's merit as usual in Apache projects - you don't ask for committership but add value to the project and expect the PMC to recognize that and vote you in, in due time. See the Process section below.
- Being a NetBeans committer or PPMC member does not make you an Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Member - that's a different status that's granted by existing Members to people who show an interest in and add value to the Foundation as a whole, see https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles.
For (P)PMC members: Committer / (P)PMC member election process
Process
...
as described by other projects
https://github.com/apache/cordova-new-committer-and-pmc
- A (P)PMC member starts a [DISCUSS] thread on the private@ list explaining why you want to elect someone, based on their merit, Based on activity and involvement of a contributor, an existing PPMC member starts a VOTE .
- If there's no opposition, the (P)PMC member starts a [VOTE] thread on the private@ mailing list to turn the contributor into a committer and/or a (P)PMC member. Make sure to specify which role you want to elect the people for. (Example text etc to come.)
- After at least 72 hours, Properly tally the vote with a [VOTE][RESULT| message. (Example text etc to come.)
- Send invitation to the committer, to invite them to be a committer. Example invitations:

- Once created, the new user can then be added as a committer and/or PPMC member at https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/netbeans.
- In parallel, send the [NOTICE] to Incubator PMC and wait 72 hours. (Example text etc to come.)
- Then add the PPMC member at https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/netbeans and optionally announce on the dev list. (Example text etc to come.)
- And subscribe them or have them subscribed at the private mailing list.
- Announce them on the dev mailing list and ask them to introduce themselves.
