Title:
Invitation to become Apache Fesod (Incubating) Committer: ${CANDIDATE_NAME}
Content:
Hello ${CANDIDATE_NAME},
The Apache Fesod (Incubating) (PPMC) hereby offers you
committer privileges to the project.
These privileges are offered on the understanding that
you'll use them reasonably and with common sense.
We like to work on trust rather than unnecessary constraints.
Being a committer enables you to more easily make
changes without needing to go through the patch
submission process.
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.
This personal invitation is a chance for you to accept or decline in private.
Please let us know in reply to this message whether you accept or decline.
If you accept, you will need an Apache account (id) with privileges.
Please follow these instructions.
A. If you already have an ICLA on file:
1. If you already have an Apache account, let us know your id and we
will grant you privileges on the project repositories.
2. If you have previously sent an ICLA, let us know the email address
and public name used on the ICLA and your preferred Apache id, and
we will request your account.
3. If the email address on the previously submitted ICLA is no longer
valid, let us know the email address and public name used on the new ICLA,
and your preferred Apache id. Continue to step B below and file your new ICLA.
Look to see if your preferred ID is already taken at
https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
B. If there is not already an ICLA on file, you need to submit an ICLA:
1. Details of the ICLA and the forms are found
through this link: https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas
2. Instructions for its completion and return to
the Secretary of the ASF are found at
https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html#submitting
Do not copy the project or any other individual on your message
to Secretary, as the form contains Personally Identifiable Information
that should be kept private.
3. When you complete the ICLA form, be sure to include in the form
the Apache [Project] project and choose a
unique Apache ID. Look to see if your preferred
ID is already taken at
https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
This will allow the Secretary to notify the PPMC
when your ICLA has been recorded.
When recording of your ICLA is noted, you will
receive a follow-up message with the next steps for
establishing you as a committer.

The candidate accepts the invitation
If the invitation is accepted, the candidate will receive an email from the ASF.
Title:
Invitation to become Apache Fesod (Incubating) Committer: ${CANDIDATE_NAME}
Content:
Welcome. Here are the next steps in becoming a project committer. After that
we will make an announcement to the dev@fesod.apache.org list.
You need to send a Contributor License Agreement to the ASF.
Normally you would send an Individual CLA. If you also make
contributions done in work time or using work resources,
see the Corporate CLA. Ask us if you have any issues.
https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas.
You need to choose a preferred ASF user name and alternatives.
In order to ensure it is available you can view a list of taken IDs at
https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
Please notify us when you have submitted the CLA and by what means
you did so. This will enable us to monitor its progress.
We will arrange for your Apache user account when the CLA has
been recorded.
After that is done, please make followup replies to the dev@fesod.apache.org list.
We generally discuss everything there and keep the
private@fesod.apache.org list for occasional matters which must be private.

Add the candidate to the committer list
After the candidate accepts the invitation and the iCLA is recorded, add the candidate to the committer list by whimsy roster tools
Welcome the new committer
Send a welcome email to the new committer.
Title:
Welcome, ${CANDIDATE_NAME}, New Committer!
Content:
Hello, ${CANDIDATE_NAME},
As you know, the ASF Infrastructure has set up your committer account
with the username `[apacheID]`
You will now be able to merge approved PRs on GitHub for this project.
(You'll need to associate your GitHub account with your Apache email
address.)
You can manage your account settings at https://id.apache.org/
The developer section of the website describes roles within the ASF and
provides other resources:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
https://www.apache.org/dev/
The incubator also has some useful information for new committers
in incubating projects:
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html
You now have expanded access to portions of the Whimsy toolset
specific to committers: https://whimsy.apache.org/
As an ASF committer, you now also have commit access to specific
sections of the ASF Foundation repository, as follows:
The general "committers" at:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers
Just as before you became a committer, participation in any ASF community
requires adherence to the ASF Code of Conduct:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html
If you have any questions during this phase, then please
see the following resources:
Apache developer's pages: https://www.apache.org/dev/
Incubator committer guide: https://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html
Naturally, if you don't understand anything be sure to ask us on the
Fesod dev mailing list. Documentation is maintained by volunteers
and hence can be out-of-date and incomplete - of course you can now
help fix that.
A PPMC member will announce your election to the dev list, and we
encourage you to introduce yourself there.
