• The project invites new Committers regularly so I would have expected that the numbers would be fairly balanced across each duration but this is not the case.
• This question has highlighted that there is we have a lot of new and experienced Committers but not many in between.
• This discrepancy could also have been caused by the fact we have missing data (14 out of the 38 Committers sent the survey did not respond)

...

• The results show that only 1 of our respondents is a Committer on another Apache project and the majority are only Committers only on OFBiz
• With Groovy and Freemarker now Apache projects, I would have expected that some of the Committers would be shared across these two other Apache projects.
• Perhaps a future question could capture if Committers are contributors (rather than Committers) on another Apache project

...

Conclusions :

• The results show that the  the biggest group were the Committers that would like to contribute more frequently.
• One unexpected result was that there 3 Committers that see themselves as currently inactive that wanted to be more active. (Note: This included committers that are currently classed as active as well as inactive)
• A positive finding is that one of the inactive Committers would like to be more active. This means that even though Committers have not been involved in the project for a while, they may still want to be able to come back and contribute.
• The use of the 'None of the above' category shows that there was an answer choice missing so maybe this can be discovered in the discussions resulting from the survey.
