Hi Jody, I take this as an invitation to request commit access. May I have commit access please?
A bit about myself. My name is Brett Walker from Hobart, Tasmania. I work for Geometry (http://www.geometryit.com/) that has an expertise in spatial applications, for nearly 10 years. I have be a using Java, much longer, almost twenty years. And I have experience with other languages such as assembly, C/C++ & .NET. Geometry developed a product called Exposure that is very similar to GeoServer. Our reliance on Exposure for spatial solution has diminished as Geometry has turned towards GeoServer and Geotools for providing solutions. I have contributed small patches to GeoTools in the past. I have had exposure to a number of Web Service Technologies and various Database technologies, particular Oracle and PostgreSQL. I would be helping GeoTools outside of company time and not constrained by copyright/licence agreements with Geometry. I have no agenda driven by company needs or other concerns. This is an offer of assistance in the spirit of the Open Source community. I want to help. I would like to be come just a committer and, not at the moment, have additional responsibilities such as a module maintainer. GeoTools is a large body of work. I have lots to learn but am very willing. While this is brief, I am open to further queries. Please consider my request for commit access, Brett -----Original Message----- From: Jody Garnett [mailto:jody.garn...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 26 June 2013 8:09 AM To: Brett Walker Cc: Geotools-Devel list Subject: Re: [Geotools-devel] Pull Request Policy Same as a patch in Jira - should have a test case, subject to volunteer time, etc... Pull request coming in via our change control procedure are planned during our bi-weekly meeting, and in the case of GeoSolutions API change the subject of scheduling. In this case geotools is entering lockdown shortly, so as a volunteer I want to see any API changed done *now* so it does not wait 6 months. We have a small number of active participants, if your organization needs more timely service consider taking part in the project (as a module maintainer or obtaining commit access). Some groups that have restrictions on programming in public go the commercial support option. We're there any pull requests in particular you were concerned with? -- Jody Garnett On 26/06/2013, at 7:39 AM, Brett Walker <brett.wal...@geometryit.com> wrote: > Hi, > > What is the policy/procedure/expectation for pull requests that have been > submitted for more than a couple of weeks? > > There are a number of pull requests that have been sitting 'dormant' for a > while.
