Apache Geronimo Project Policies

Although not easy, here we try to convey some policies of how the Apache Geronimo project tackles different processes and every day decision making situations. This is clearly not an extensive list but we are working to make it more complete every day.

Non-Geronimo committers contributing to TCK

Apache committers from projects other than Geronimo can request read only access to TCK following this process:

• Requester sends a note to the PMC list requesting access with a quick summary of their goals.
• PMC member acknowledges receipt of the request back to the user.

• Same PMC member sends a note to the appropriate keeper of NDAs and the Geronimo PMC with a subject of:
  
  [TCK] Request for TCK access for Apache Geronimo TCK materials. Please verify NDA is on file.
  
  and includes relevant information about the committer and their request.
  
  

• Waiting period:
  • Geronimo committers will be granted r/w access upon confirmation of the NDA being on file.

  • For other committers the request is available for comment for 72 hours. If there is no -1 on the request and we have received positive acknowledgment about the NDA then a PMC member sends a note to the user and PMC with a subject like:
    
    [TCK] Access request for TCK repo from ....... is approved.

The chair or authorized member can update the SVN authorization file and notify the user of the URL and current relevant information. Geronimo committers are given r/w access and others are given read and they can start earning karma.
