This is all good stuff.

What we're looking for in the nomination criteria is a list of things that you've done specifically for the project (Nebula in this case). Speaking very generally, being a committer on one project does not give you a free pass to join another project as a committer. You have to earn your way into every project on which you are a committer.

The problem here is not one of whether or not you are qualified to join the project. There is a public record that--with some digging--I was able to uncover. The problem was that the nomination criteria did not spell it out. The basic idea is that we need a transparent record (in as easy a form to consume as possible) of the criteria by which every committer joins the project.

The Technology PMC made a decision just a few weeks ago that--rather than simply rejecting nominations with insufficient nomination criteria--we'd dig to try and find it, make sure the demonstration of merit is adequately captured, and--assuming that all goes according to plan--approve the vote.

HTH,

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

I will try to tell you my contribution about Eclipse.

1) I'm E4 commiter (but not really commited) because I'm the creator of the Eclispe E4 CSS Engine coming from TK-UI project.
2) I have created WTP Jetty Eclipse Plugin
3) another contribution about JFace Databinding, ECF, XWT that you can find in my blog http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/about/

Hope this information will help you.

Regards Angelo

Hi Wayne,

Angelo proposed two widgets.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=367064
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365948

Nebula is and has always accepted code BUT ONLY if the contributor also
agreed to support them after dumping it to Nebula (we don't have the
resources to do it ourselves).

So yes the contributions from Angelo are significant.
