      1. being the mediator for the room and the setup plus a full catering

      in the Balkans to talk about Netbeans and promote it to his community
   2. I have developed a plugin

Hi Alexius!

In Apache projects, the way to become a committer is not to ask for it --
instead, one simply becomes active over a clear period of time and then
someone from the Apache NetBeans project's PMC (i.e., Project Management
Committee) approaches you to invite you to invite you to become a committer.

"If you become a valuable contributor to the project you may well be
invited to become a committer."
See: https://community.apache.org/contributors/

Another related point is that you'd need to be active in the community of
Apache NetBeans, while you have been active in a number of excellent ways
in the NetBeans community prior to the existence of the Apache NetBeans
(incubating) project.

So, during the next few months, once the code is in Apache and so on, the
Apache NetBeans PMC will begin evaluating those who have become active
within the Apache NetBeans community. Undoubtedly, I believe, you will be
one of these. And then the active people in the community, i.e., people who
have become involved in the community in one way or another (e.g., via code
or documentation or promotion of NetBeans in one way or another) will be
invited to become committers.

Probably -- although this has not been decided yet for the Apache NetBeans
community and this point differs from Apache project to Apache project --
being a committer automatically means that you'll be part of the PMC, i.e.,
the Project Management Committee of Apache NetBeans. Read more about that
here: https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#what-is-a-pmc

Thanks for your enthusiasm and ongoing support for the Apache NetBeans
(incubating) project and hope this answers your question!

Geertjan
