The standard invitation email reads:
On behalf of all the VIVO committers, I would like to extend to you an
invitation to join the group. Your work on VIVO evinces an abiding
interest in the platform, and we all feel you would be a valuable
addition to our team.
|
Being a committer means participating in the evolution of the platform,
typically by making changes to the source code, or managing the
integration of contributions made by the community at large. But it also
means having a voice and a vote on technical, administrative and release
management issues, providing your expertise and guidance on the lists,
organizing testing, etc.
|
We are mindful of the fact that no one is being paid to do this, and no
specific time commitment is required or expected; in fact we *do* expect
that one's involvement will fluctuate over time with job duties. Nor is
there any specified term of office - one's job responsibilities may
change over time, and so one's ability to devote time to VIVO.
|
We ask that you seriously consider this offer, and hope that you will
accept it!
|
Sincerely,
The VIVO Committers Group.
