The CoPDoC is an acronym from ASF to describe how we recognize your contributions not only by code. Community - You can join us via our mailing list, issue trackers, discussions page to interact with community members, and share vision and knowledge Project - a clear vision and consensus are needed Documentation - without it, the stuff remains only in the minds of the authors Code - discussion goes nowhere without code Apache HertzBeat community strives to be meritocratic. Thus, once someone has contributed sufficiently to any area of CoPDoC they can be a candidate for PMC membership and at last voted in as a HertzBeat PMC member. Being an Apache HertzBeat PMC member does not necessarily mean you must commit code with your commit privilege to the codebase; it means you are committed to the HertzBeat project and are productively contributing to our community's success. There are no strict rules for becoming a committer or PPMC member. Candidates for new PMC member are typically people that are active contributors and community members. Anyway, if the rules can be clarified a little bit, it can somehow clear the doubts in the minds of contributors and make the community more transparent, reasonable, and fair. PMC member candidates should have a decent amount of continuous engagements and contributions (fixing bugs, adding new features, writing documentation, maintaining issues boards, code review, or answering community questions) to HertzBeat either by contributing to the codebase of the main website or HertzBeat's GitHub repositories. +5 months with light activity and engagement. +4 months of medium activity and engagement. +3 month with solid activity and engagement.
