Hi all,

I notice that there are four different categories of foundation
membership (strategic, add-in provider, associate, and committer), but
that only members belonging to the first three are listed on eclipse.org.

I'm curious if there are, in fact, any committer members and, if so, how
many? It's a particularly interesting category, since it's suggestive
of individuals who are interested in the technology for its own sake,
and not companies interested in the commercialization of it.

Thanks,
Dave

project is a committer member of the foundation. So, there are hundreds
of committer members (I have no idea exactly how many).

That's not correct. You can have commit rights without being a
Committer Member of the Foundation. Most committers are not Committer
Members because they are employees of a Member Company. There are a
number of individual Committer Members outside of the Member Companies -
something on the order of three dozen - but I don't have the exact
numbers in front of me. There are a few more people with commit rights
who are not Committer Members.

Hi Bjorn,

No worries, the ballpark number is good enough for me.

Thanks,
Dave

That is correct. But the interesting wrinkle is that committers who work for
Member companies have all of the rights and privileges of a Committer
Member, without having to individually sign the Membership Agreement.

So the way I count them is whether or not they have the right to vote in the
committer representative board elections. And currently there are 425++ of
those.

.....I am not sure if this helps or just makes things even more confusing :-)
