This is based on:  

• Electing new committers  

Our process:  

• Send vote_committer.txt

  • It is okay to start a DISCUSS thread first if you are unsure about the election
  • Wait three days (or longer) and tally the vote 
  • Only proceed if the vote was successful 

• Send result_committer.txt 

• Send invite_committer.txt 

  • Only go to the next step if they accept 

• Send accept_committer.txt 

• Wait until: 
  • You see the CLA or CCLA acknowledged by the ASF secretary 
  • As soon as you see this, request account creation (access for ASF members and the CouchDB project chair): 

    • https://id.apache.org/acreq/members/ 

    • ICLAs here, in case you need them: 

      • https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/documents/iclas/ 

  • There is no need to grant karma 
  • Wait until the account is created 

• Send done_committer.txt 

• Send announce-committer.txt 

• Follow the new committer from the CouchDB Twitter account

• Post a Tweet 
  • "Pleased to announce that %NAME% has been elected as the newest CouchDB committer!" 
• Post to Google+ page, Facebook page, and LinkedIn page
  • Post the same message to the each site.
