Seeking karma
Hello-
I'd like to work towards becoming a Karaf committer. I've been active in the community and on the implementation side of things for many years, and would like to take a bigger role on the dev, documentation and user support side of things.
My CLA is on file, I'm requesting Wiki and Jira karma (just to assign myself tickets).
Thanks!
Matt Pavlovich

Hi,
I fully agree with both of you.
Never the less let's welcome a potential new committer first.
Welcome Mat, I'm anxious to see your contribution. :-)
I'm sure there are couple of issues at the Jira to tackle.
Regards, Achim

Of course, that's a necessary step. Again it's a matter of establishing
trust.

I'm agree, but I would wait at least a couple of patches/contribution.
It's the minimum IMHO to be sure about the quality of the project.

I'm not sure that's a mistake. When committers come, especially when they
come with a contribution, you never know if they will continue working on
it. I'd rather accept it as a fact and eventually move that contribution
into the sandbox if it's not supported for a long time, rather than
discouraging people from contributing.
I'm not in favor of raising the bar too high, i think we (PMC) can police
new committers. As I've already said, committership mostly a matter of
trust, but we need to find the right balance and certainly not discourage
people to get involved.
And I'm certainly not in favor of requesting a level of commitment: some
people may work as part of their full time job, some people may work on
their spare time, some just for fun. You can't compare those. And also
this level of commitment can change over time and that's fine to me too.

Hi Matt,
We don't use wiki at Karaf. If you want to contribute on documentation,
just submit patches or git request.
For the Jira, I gonna give the karma to you.
Regarding committership, I look forward to see patches from you. I would
be pleased to mentor you in this process (that could be long).
Committership is an important responsibility ("with great power comes
great responsability"). So you don't ask for getting it, you prove that
you deserve it ;)
We did mistakes in the past to promote guys too quickly and they didn't
contribute since a couple of initial patches.
Regards
JB
