Hi Kenn,

Thanks for contributing this. I think it's a nice introduction to Beam's 
community building efforts.

I'd elaborate instead of saying "for the usual Apache reasons". Which reasons 
are important to Beam?

I'd make this a sentence of its own.

I don't understand "for other reasons".

I find the "~" to be distracting. Words please.

It's not clear to me when a person becomes a potential committer. Is it in the 
"repeat contributor" phase?

Perhaps move this paragraph above the "For a potential committer" paragraph?

As above, remove "~".

I don't understand this. Lack of concern might be considered a "good thing" not 
a red flag.

Who/what is RMS?
