Note: this is a draft written by individual(s) and no way represents the guidance or stand of the CloudStack PMC.

Not always a prerequisite but generally a committer becomes a PMC member (see on how to become a committer: DRAFT).

Other references about PMC membership and CloudStack project bylaws and other links and docs:

Becoming a PMC member, it largely a support building exercise where other PMC members can review anybody in the community, discuss/propose, vote and invite them to become a PMC member.

Some criteria could be following:

Demonstrated commitment and built trust over sustained period of time.
Be visible in the community as an ambassador of the project.
Doing work around technical or non-technical activities, but most importantly be involved in decision making that are in support and favour of the community.
Participating and supporting project governance related activities, release management or other technical/non-technical activities such as documentation/blog/website work, support/participation in marketing, events and conferences.

Bottomline: it's really up to the PMC members to maintain a healthy and active PMCs and committers base in the project by regularly reviewing, proposing, voting and inviting new PMC members and committers. Any community member can propose a candidate on the private@ mailing list. It is then up to the PMC to discuss those candidates, build support and vote on the new candidate.
