This page explains the process someone must go through to become=
an official committer to Apache VCL.
There are 4 steps you need to go through to become an official committer=
.
- Actively answer questions on the vcl-dev/vcl-user lists
By answering questions on the community lists, you show an interest in the=
community. Your answers provide a metric of how well you understand VCL an=
d how the Apache VCL community works.
- Sign an Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA)
To contribute any code or documentation, you must have an ICLA on file wit=
h the Apache Software Foundation. More information about the ICLA is availa=
ble on the licenses page. Once you have done this, you s=
hould express interest on the vcl-dev list that you are interested in becom=
ing a committer.
- [1] Contribute non-trivial co=
de by attaching patches to JIRA issues
Before being granted commit access to the code respository, you need to de=
monstrate some level of understanding of the code and some level of coding =
proficiency. This is done by contributing patches to JIRA issues. We realiz=
e "non-trivial" is a subjective term, but simple one-liner patches don't al=
low you to be evaluated at all. (Don't worry we need more committers; so we=
're not strict!)
- Be voted in as a new committer on the vcl-private list
There is a private VCL list for members of the Podling Project Management =
Committee (PPMC) to discuss whether or not someone should be given the righ=
ts of a committer. A formal vote must happen on this list for you to be acc=
epted as a committer.
Once you have been accepted, your next step is to start contributing stu=
ff!
<=
/span>[1] If you only want to contribute documentation, you can skip step #=
3. However, if you later want to start contributing code, you will still ne=
ed to go through step #3 and have a new vote in step #4 before being grante=
d commit access to the code repository.
