Hi everyone, I am Ji Min, the founder of the Seata open source community. Since its open source in 2019, the Seata community has been growing for over 4 years. During this period, many developers have contributed to the community. Based on their contributions, we have formed a team of developers [1], which currently has nearly 30 members.
Regarding who should be the initial committer, the community follows the principles of fairness and openness. We sent notifications through email list and Dingtalk group to all committers/maintainers, informing them about the news of the public application for initial committer. Before submitting the proposal, we accepted all proactive applications. Meanwhile, the community proactively invited some contributors based on their past contributions, activity, and future commitment. Most people accepted our invitations, while some declined due to work and family reasons. 1. The measurement standard for past contributions is based on outstanding contributions such as playing a crucial role in creating the community, building transaction patterns, or submitting more than 30 PRs. 2. For measuring activity, we expect participation in the community within the past year. As the community technology advances rapidly, long periods of absence can result in becoming unfamiliar or falling behind. 3. In the future, we expect him/her to invest more time in the community to help it grow. Being an initial committer means more than just honor or privilege, it also entails taking on greater responsibility. The community is a continuous process of development, and we hope to see more individuals become committers or PMC members during the incubation period.
