[VOTE] Pascal Sancho for Committer

Fellow Committers,

As you all know, Pascal Sancho has been actively contributing to the
FOP lists since 2004, helping users and cleaning up bugzilla to boot!.

Although Pascal hasn't been actively contributing code, he has helped
many on the FOP & XML Graphics lists, and for that I think his efforts
should be rewarded.

The Apache XML Graphics Project, and the Apache FOP Project in
particular, are a better place because of active contributors like
Pascal. So here is my vote:

+1

(Votes only on general@... please.)

Well done Pascal! Thank you for your efforts!

Thanks,

Clay

Committership is not a reward. We grant committership to those who
play a strong role in the community around FOP, and thereby we make
them a more visible member of that community with extra roles,
responsibilities and powers.

Creating code is one of those roles, and the most prominent one of
committers. The community needs many other roles in order to remain
strong. The only named role is that of a committer, and we use it for
all who lead FOP's community. It might be better to have more named
roles, but we do not have them.

Regards, Simon

Granting committership is a means to reward somebody for their constant
involvement in the community. In that case it’s more for the symbolic
side of it, although there are things a committer can do that don’t
require coding skills (bug triage, website maintenance, etc.).

Although there haven't been any code contributions of which I am aware,
Pascal has made many contributions to the FOP user mailing lists and
followed up bugzilla entries over a long period of time (number of years).
He has also demonstrated a good knowledge of FOP, XSL:FO and digital
typography in general.  He is a valuable contributor to this community,
maybe committership will inspire some code... :)

So my vote is +1.

Adrian.

Hi *,

I don't see the advantage of having commit rights if you do not submit
any code. But I do like the answers and bugzilla entries of Sancho.

+0.5

This is well deserved. Helping out on the users list and cleaning up
Bugzilla is of great relief for us developers.

+1 from me. Pascal strengthens the community around FOP. As a
committer his role is publicly recognized, and he can make his
contributions that more effectively.
