- <h2>Becoming a Committer</h2>
- <p>If you are interested in becoming a Committer at Eclipse, the first
- and most important question is which project do you want to contribute
- to?</p>
- <ul class='midlist'>
- <li>There are many <a href="http://projects.eclipse.org">projects</a>; you should
- start with the project that is the most interesting and most
- exciting to you.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Second, a few operational details:</p>
- <ul class='midlist'>
- <li>Please note that the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/forums/">forums</a>
- are a good place to make contact with a project. To request a
- Eclipse Foundation password to post on the forums, report bugs and enter feature requests, please
- go to our <a href="https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/createaccount.php">account
- creation form</a>.
- </li>
- <li>We distinguish between two similar sounding, and related,
- organizations: the Eclipse Foundation is a member-funded
- not-for-profit corporation that supports the Eclipse Open Source
- Projects. The Projects are the open source community where the
- development happens. This distinction is important because you can
- be an active developer and contributor to the open source Projects
- without being a "member" of the Eclipse Foundation. (Most
- of our non-affiliated open source committers are also members of the
- Foundation, but it is not a requirement.) There is no cost to being
- an individual member of the Foundation.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Third, about becoming a developer and committer on the Eclipse Open
- Projects:</p>
- <ul class='midlist'>
- <li>Becoming a Committer at Eclipse is a multi-stage process. The
- basic rule is that all new committers are voted in by the existing
- committers on a project. Similar to other open source communities,
- we operate as a meritocracy....which among other things translates
- to mean that you have to prove your abilities before you can become
- a committer.<br>
- </li>
- <li>The best way to start contributing to Eclipse is to start with
- well-formed bug reports and feature requests for project(s) that you
- are primarily interested in. Build a good reputation with the
- existing committers on a project. Over time, start proposing code
- enhancements and volunteer time to the project. Then once you have
- demonstrated your skills to the existing team, ask a current project
- committer to sponsor you as a committer. The election process is
- defined in each top-level project's charter.</li>

+ <h2 id="becoming-committer-member">Step 2 — Becoming a Committer Member of the Eclipse Foundation</h2>
+ <p>
+ Once you are a Committer on one or more Eclipse projects, you will
+ automatically be considered a Committer Member if you are employed by a
+ Member organization of the Foundation. That is, if your company is
+ already a Member, then you are automatically a Committer Member.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You may also choose to join as a Committer Member even if you are not
+ employed by a Member company. To do so, kindly contact <a href="mailto:emo@eclipse.org">emo@eclipse.org</a>
+ and ask them to send you the Membership Agreement for electronic
+ signature.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once you become a Committer Member, you are eligible to participate in
+ the Eclipse Foundation’s General Assembly, to vote for Committer
+ representatives on the board of directors, etc. A full list of the
+ benefits are available <a href="/membership/#tab-levels">here</a>.
