Offers of committership are extended by the existing uPortal committer community by vote on the email list for discussion of uPortal developers. Under Apache tradition, 3 "+1" votes no "-1" votes required for a committership vote to pass, any -1 votes require a detailed statement as to why the -1 vote was cast. The vote remains open for at least 72 hours and only votes from other committers are binding, though votes from anyone on the uportal-dev list are taken seriously on an advisory basis.
Unlicensed user is the current point of contact for the logistics of creating a new committer, obtaining access to SVN, etc.
After a commit vote passes the following process is followed for granting access. (Most likely the first two will have already been completed prior to starting the process)
- Submit a Contributor License Agreement
- Acquire uportal-dev list membership if he or she does not already have it see uportal-dev
- Introduce himself or herself to the uportal-dev list in the context of a new committer
- Acquire commit access to the the uPortal section of the Jasig SVN repository and membership into groups in Jira and Confluence conferring the additional privileges necessary to efficiently work on the project (ability to assign, resolve, schedule Jira issues, e.g.) by having the uPortal Steering Committee add you to the upc-developers group (see How to Manage Groups) - the new committer should then show up on the list of uPortal committers in the wikiSend an email to email-admin@jasig.org to request that they be added to committers@lists.jasig.org.

+1 votes for granting committer status imply willingness to help. While a new committer can look to the entire Jasig community for support in his or her new role, the existing committers who voted for the offer of committership should be especially available to assist. |
