The Open Source Rules of Engagement defined in the Eclipse Foundation Development Process (EDP) require that projects operate in an open, transparent, and meritocratic manner. This applies to both committer and project lead elections.
In what way has the nominee demonstrated they have gained the trust of the project committers?
In what specific, publicly visible manner has the candidate demonstrated they have the trust of the project team and community? Can you point to specific content contributions that demonstrate leadership? Has the candidate authored a road map? Do you have any specific examples of how the candidate has represented the project team in governance matters?
The
Committer Elections training materials provide some insight into elections (the guidance for project lead elections is similar to what we provide for committer elections). It might also be helpful to review the
Eclipse Project Roles training materials to understand the nature of the role. The
Eclipse Project Handbook has supporting material.
While I have your attention... AFAICT, the project has not yet engaged in the IP Due Diligence Process. I've created an
issue to help you get started.
Thanks,
