| <p><b>Roles</b><br> |
| The Projects under this Charter are operated as meritocracies -- the more you |
| contribute, and the higher the quality of your contribution, the more you are |
| allowed to do. However with this comes increased responsibility.</p> |
| <p><b>Users</b><br> |
| Users are the people who use the output from the Project. Output will |
| typically consist of software and research. Software in this context means |
| intellectual property in electronic form, including source and binary code, |
| documentation, courseware, reports and papers.<span style="mso-spacerun: |
| yes"> </span></p> |
| <p><b><font color="#0000FF">Contributors</font> <strike>Developers</strike></b><br> |
| Users who contribute software or research become <font color="#0000FF">contributors</font> |
| <strike>developers</strike>.<span |
| style="mso-spacerun: yes"> <font color="#0000FF">Contributors</font> </span><strike>Developers |
| </strike> are encouraged to |
| participate in the user newsgroup(s), and <strike> should monitor </strike> the developer |
| mailing list associated with their area of contribution. When appropriate, developers may also contribute to development design discussions related to |
| their area of contribution. <font color="#0000FF">Contributors</font> <strike>Developers |
| </strike> are expected to be proactive in |
| reporting problems in the bug tracking system <font color="#0000FF">and to |
| supply fixes and new features via patches</font>.</p> |
| <p><b>Committers</b><br> |
| <font color="#0000FF">Contributors</font> <strike>Developers </strike> who has |
| <font color="#0000FF">the trust of the Project's Committers</font>, can have their status |
| promoted to that of a "Committer" for that Project <font color="#0000FF"> or |
| some component of that Project</font>. A Committer has write access to the source code repository for |
| the associated Project (or component) <font color="#0000FF">and/or website |
| and/or bug tracking system. A Committer </font><strike>and </strike> gains voting rights allowing them |
| to affect the future of the Project (or component).</p> |
| <p><font color="#0000FF">How a Contributor demonstrate trustworthiness to a |
| Project's Committers is defined by each Project's Committer and the PMC. |
| Without restricting or requiring the Projects to follow these mechanisms, here |
| are some recommended practices: </font></p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><font color="#0000FF">A Contributor can give frequent and valuable |
| contributions a Project or a component of a Project, or</font></li> |
| <li><font color="#0000FF">A Contributor can have a extensive public record |
| of contribution to similar projects or technologies, or</font></li> |
| <li><font color="#0000FF">A Contributor can be well known to be trustworthy |
| to all of a Project's Committers</font></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><font color="#0000FF">The process agreed on by a Project's Committers and |
| the PMC must follow the Eclipse principles by being open and transparent.</font></p> |
| <p>In order for a <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike>Developer</strike> to become a Committer on a particular Project |
| overseen by the PMC, another Committer for the same Project (or component as |
| appropriate) can nominate that <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike> Developer</strike> or the |
| <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike> Developer</strike> can ask to be |
| nominated. <font color="#0000FF">A nomination must include a public statement |
| of why the Contributor qualifies as a Committer (e.g., URLs of their |
| contributors). </font>Once a <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike> Developer</strike> is nominated, the Committers for the Project (or |
| component) will vote. If there are at least 3 positive votes and no negative |
| votes, the <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike> Developer</strike> is recommended to the PMC for commit privileges. If the |
| PMC also approves, the <font color="#0000FF">Contributor </font><strike> Developer</strike> is converted into a Committer and given |
| write access to the source code repository <font color="#0000FF">or website or |
| bug reporting system</font> for that Project (or component). </p> |
| <p> |
| Becoming a Committer is a privilege that is earned by contributing and |
| showing discipline and good judgment. It is a responsibility that should be |
| neither given nor taken lightly<font color="#0000FF">, nor it is a right based |
| on employment by an Eclipse Member company.</font></p> |
| <p>At times, Committers may go inactive for a variety of reasons. The |
| decision making process of the Project relies on active committers who |
| respond to discussions and votes in a constructive and timely manner. The PMC |
| is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the Project. A Committer |
| that is disruptive, does not participate actively, or has been inactive for |
| an extended period may have his or her commit status removed by the PMC.</p> |
| <p>Active participation in the user newsgroup and the appropriate developer |
| mailing lists is a responsibility of all Committers, and is critical to the |
| success of the Project. Committers are required to monitor and contribute to |
| the user newsgroup.</p> |
| <p>Committers are required to monitor the developer mailing list associated |
| with all Projects and components for which they have commit privileges. This |
| is a condition of being granted commit rights to the Project or component. It |
| is mandatory because committers must participate in votes (which in some |
| cases require a certain minimum number of votes) and must respond to the |
| mailing list in a timely fashion in order to facilitate the smooth operation |
| of the Project. When a Committer is granted commit rights they will be added |
| to the appropriate mailing lists. A Committer must not be unsubscribed from a |
| developer mailing list unless their associated commit privileges are also |
| removed.</p> |
| <p>Committers are required to track, participate in, and vote on, relevant |
| discussions in their associated Projects and components. There are three |
| voting responses: +1 (yes), -1 (no, or veto), and 0 (abstain).</p> |
| <p>Committers are responsible for proactively reporting problems in the bug |
| tracking system, and annotating problem reports with status information, |
| explanations, clarifications, or requests for more information from the |
| submitter. Committers are responsible for updating problem reports when they |
| have done work related to the problem.</p> |
