Re: [incubation] MicroProfile initial committers

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The short version is that the paperwork process is still in progress for what looks like eight committers. It appears that one of your committers hasn't created an Eclipse Foundation account yet (at least not with the email address specified on the project proposal).

For those individuals who did not receive the notice, please direct them to http://portal.eclipse.org and get them to login using the email address that was specified on the project proposal. The portal will guide them through what they need to do.

The system will send out periodic reminders. But if our initial messages aren't getting the individuals, I'm concerned that the reminders will not either. Generally, if we haven't heard back from committers after a few weeks, we start hunting them down individually. In any case, I will ask the admin to start hunting down the folks that we're waiting for directly.

I'm concerned that some of your committers have not received paperwork instructions. If our messages are getting spam-filtered, then that would be good information for us to have to see what we can do to rework the wording. Unfortunately, sorting this out is a bit of a moving target and--given that we really don't have any other means of connecting with a committer until they register--we tend to lean heavily on the project leads to help us out.

FWIW, we are in the process of revamping this workflow and part of that revamping will include a means for project leads to have visibility into the state of the process.

HTH,

Wayne

Hi,

MicroProfile is new to the Eclipse foundation.  I am one of the project leads.  I'm trying to figure out the process for the initial committers and how to get this membership properly configured.

Per our proposal (https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-microprofile), we had a long list of initial committers due to our previous start at microprofile.io.

As you can see on our project page (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.microprofile/who), only a small subset of committers are listed.  (John is listed twice, we don't know the reason for that either.)  I've reached out to a couple of the missing committers to see if they received the email from Eclipse and they hadn't.  Others did, but they hadn't acted on it yet.

So, my question is how can I track what processing has taken place for these initial committers?  I know when they are "done" when they show up on the page.  But, how can I get the others properly vetted to get them properly registered as committers?  If we want to use one as an example, let's use Mark Little.  He has not received any emails concerning the steps required for committership, but he's on our list of initial committers.  How can I kickstart this process for these missing committers?

Thanks,

Kevin Sutter
