If you're contributing, you're changing the code anyway? :) > i just looked at http://hadoop.apache.org/common/credits.html#Committers > many members from Yahoo or cloudera..etc big organigation members. > is it the case only that organization ppl get access? i am from small > startup company.... That is a silly thought :) Apache is an volunteer driven organization. We're individuals here. Everybody is welcome to contribute, take part in discussions, vote and be part of the community. I do not know why you are so focussed on 'committership' (It is but a title that carries responsibilities, the way I see it), but anyway, take a look at Todd's take on this topic that came up once before: http://search-hadoop.com/m/xYFr8picfy1 A contribution is a contribution, be it from a committer or non. Take a look at the issues we currently have at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP (Common), https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS (HDFS), and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE (MapReduce). We'd love your contributions, be it new features, fixes or even comments on discussion topics! -- Harsh J
