This is the invitation email, sent after a positive result from the vote for a new committer. ------------------------------------------------------------ To: JoeBloggs@foo.net Cc: private@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: invitation to become CloudStack committer: Joe Bloggs ##### Hello #####, the Apache CloudStack Project Management Committee would like to invite you to become a CloudStack committer. We value your contributions and are aware that you are committed to the project. Being a committer allows you to contribute more autonomously. For developers, it enables you to more easily make changes and eliminates the need to have contributions reviewed via the patch submission process. We do however request that you keep seeking reviews for your contributions. Whether your contributions are development-related or otherwise, it is a recognition of your contributions and commitment to the project and the Apache Way. While this does not mean that you need to participate any more than you already do, it does tend to make one even more committed. Hence you will probably find that you spend more time here. Of course, you can decline and continue to contribute as you do now. This personal email is also providing a chance for you to decline in private. Either way, please let us know in reply only to the private@cloudstack.apache.org list. If you agree, then we will announce on the dev@ list after the account is established. Yours, The Apache CloudStack PMC ------------------------------------------------------------------------
