Nominating a Committer

WORK IN PROGRESS

This page is intended to be a quick guide through the process norminating committers for the geode project. For more in depth details on the process of nominating committers for incubating projects, please refer to the ppmc guide.

Any member of the PPMC for geode can nominate someone to be a geode committer, and all current geode committers are also ppmc members.

1. Send a DISCUSS email to private@geode.incubator.apache.org indicating you would like to propose a new committer. Example.

2. If the DISCUSS email does not raise any objections after a couple of days, send a [VOTE] email to private@geode.incubator.apache.org with at least 72 hours of voting time. The vote passes if there are at least 3 +1s and no -1 of any PPMC members. Mentors votes are not required. Do one vote for Committer and PPMC membership. Our policy is that if you want to nominate someone was a committer, you should also nominate them to join the PPMC. Example.

3. Send the [VOTE][RESULT] email. Example.

If the vote passes:
4. Send an email to the private@incubator.apache.org with the vote results. Example.

5. Invite the person to be a committer and get them to file an ICLA. CC the private@geode.incubator.apache.org with the invitation. Do not invite them to join the PPMC yet, you must wait 72 hours after sending the email in step 4 before doing that. Example.

6. Once the ICLA is filed, a mentor will follow through with creating the account

7. After 72 hours, send an invitation to be a PPMC member. CC the private@geode.incubator.apache.org with the invitation. Ask them to subscribe using their *apache* email address. Example.
