Mifos X Committer Policy

Vishwas Babu A J edited this page Jul 29, 2014 · 1 revision

Committer Policy

MifosX committers have read-write access to the MifosX repository hosted on GitHub enabling them to commit code to selected MifosX projects.

Committers also assist others with their contributions in the form of reviewing and merging pull requests, and providing feedback and suggestions on the direction of the project.

Becoming a Committer

A committer will be nominated by a current committer using the committer mailing list.

That nomination must be seconded by all existing committers before the same can be accepted. If case of any objections, the committers shall internally discuss the same and reach a consensus.

Once accepted, the committer page will be updated and the nominee will be added to the committer mailing list.

Nomination pre-requisites

Potential Committers are expected to have built up core knowledge about the architecture, the code base, the governance, and the spirit of Mifos X.

They would have made medium or high complexity contributions as pull requests prior to nomination.

They will have shown a pattern of communicating questions, issues, and suggestions to other Mifos X committers in the public Mailing lists as well as via their pull requests.

Roles of a Committer

Mifos X committers are expected to:

  • provide feedback and opinions about the direction of the project.
  • foster contributions from the community by reviewing pull requests, providing constructive feedback, and encouraging new contributions.
  • work within their limits and redirect issues they can’t address to other team members.
  • represent Mifos X in the community and within other open source projects.
  • look for ways to improve Mifos X in any way; code, process, and/or planning.
