Thanks, community thinkers! The consensus is overwhelming for being generous with committer status. (Additionally, just as a point of record, it seems that at least some projects are indeed giving PMC membership without committer status, so that does seem to be reasonable Apache-fu, when approp

As a frequent non-code contributor to several projects, having people like us as PMC (or PPMC) members seems to do the trick. That being said, there can be ways we can contribute in a binary form, such as adding to HTML, blogs, and updating calendars. -Greg On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 9:26 AM, Danie
