Re: [osgi-wg] OSGI Working Group Committer Representative Election - Nom

[Christoph Läubrich <laeubi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In addendum to Scott:

I find it rather confusing what a 'Committer member' actually is, the 
text says that:

> Committer Members are individuals who [...] are able to contribute and
> commit materials to the Eclipse Foundation projects included in the
> scope of this working group.

e.g. I'm a committer of tycho, tycho is for building OSGi Stuff and 
using OSGi technologies internally so is Tycho a project included in the 
scope of this working group?

Another example is I sometime contribute patches to Equinox (is Equinox 
a project included in the scope of this working group?) but I'm not a 
committer but as these changes are merged I obviously  'are able to 
contribute and commit materials' ...

To summarize and as I have previously state, I'm really willing to 
contribute and participate in OSGi WG and technology but all this 
bureaucracy, terms and membership definitions really holding me back to 
start contributions...
