 # Committers
 
-An Apache Mesos committer is a contributor who has been given write access to the Apache Mesos code repository and related Apache infrastructure. In the Mesos project, each committer is also a voting member of the PMC.
+An Apache Mesos committer is a contributor who has been given write access to
+the Apache Mesos code repository and related Apache infrastructure. In the Mesos
+project, each committer is also a voting member of the PMC.
 
 ## Becoming a committer
 
-Every new committer has to be proposed by a current committer and then voted in by the members of the Mesos PMC. For details about this process and for candidate requirements see the general [Apache guidelines for assessing new candidates for committership](https://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html). Candidates prepare for their nomination as committer by contributing to the Mesos project and its community, by acting according to the [Apache Way](http://theapacheway.com), and by generally following the path [from contributor to committer](https://community.apache.org/contributors/) for Apache projects. Specifically for the Mesos project, you can make use of the [Apache Mesos Committer Candidate Checklist](committer-candidate-checklist.md) for suggestions of what kind of contributions and demonstrated behaviors can be instrumental, and to keep track of your progress.
