-
- Hello Joe, the Apache [PROJECT] Project Management Committee would like
- to invite you to become a [PROJECT] committer. We value your contributions
- and are aware that you are committed to the project.
-
- Being a committer enables you to more easily make changes and so
- not need to go via the patch submission process. This should
- enable you to be more productive.
-
- Of course, you can decline and instead remain as a developer,
- contributing as you do now.
-
- This personal email is also providing a chance for you to decline
- in private. Either way, please let us know in reply only to the
- private@[PROJECT].apache.org list. If you agree, then we will announce
- on the dev@[PROJECT].apache.org list after the account is established.
-
- Yours,
- The Apache [PROJECT] PMC

+
+ Hello [invitee name],
+
+ The [Project] Project Management Committee] (PMC)
+ hereby offers you committer privileges to the project
+ [as well as membership in the PMC].
+
+ Being a committer enables you to more easily make
+ changes without needing to go through the patch
+ submission process. [Being a PMC member enables you
+ to guide the direction of the project.]
+
+ Being a committer does not require you to
+ participate any more than you already do. It does
+ tend to make one even more committed. You will
+ probably find that you spend more time here.
+
+ Of course, you can decline and instead remain as a
+ contributor, participating as you do now.
+
+ A. This personal invitation is a chance for you to
+ accept or decline in private. Either way, please
+ let us know in reply to the [privae@project.apache.org]
+ address only.
+
+ B. If you are accepting, the next step is to register
+ an iCLA with the Apache Software Foundation:
+ 1. Details of the iCLA and the forms are found
+ through this link: <http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas>.
+
+ 2. The form (text or PDF version) provides
+ instructions for its completion and return to
+ the Secretary of the ASF.
+
+ 3. When you transmit the completed iCLA, request
+ to notify the Apache [Project] and choose a
+ unique Apache id. Look to see if your preferred
+ id is already taken at
+ http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
+ This will allow the Secretary to notify the PMC
+ when your iCLA has been recorded.
+
+ When recording of your iCLA is noticed, you will
+ receive a follow-up message with the next steps for
+ establishing you as a committer.
+
