As a committer, you should already have a fedora-commons.org login, and you will have been placed into the fcrepo-committer LDAP group. This gives you the necessary permissions to work on parts of the project that are hosted at Fedora Commons.
- Send your fedora-commons.org AND sourceforge.net userids to Chris Wilper and he will set up the necessary permissions. If you don't already have these accounts, you can create them here and here.
- Sign up to the Fedora Development list
- You will also need a Sourceforge.net account. This is necessary because the Fedora project's subversion repository is currently hosted there.Send your Sourceforge.net id to cwilper (at) fedora-commons.org and he will give you subversion write permission.
- Sign up to the Fedora Codewatch list using your username@sourceforgeuserid@sourceforge.net address. This is a public list that all committers subscribe to. It's used solely for email automatic notification of subversion Subversion commits and automated test results. It is necessary to sign up using your sourceforge.net id; commit notification will not work otherwise. Make sure you have set up your Sourceforge account so that emails to username@sourceforgeuserid@sourceforge.net are forwarded to your usual address.
- Get familiar with compiling and testing Fedora. Pay special attention to the section on setting up Eclipse. Our current coding conventions are embodied by the settings you will import into Eclipse.
How We
...
Keep In Touch
The team keeps in touch on a day-to-day basis via Skype and the development list.
We also have bi-weekly http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/x/YIBn Committer Meetings where we share what we're working on as it relates to the FCRepo project. This allows us to communicate in a high-bandwidth way and also gives us a way to share what we're working on with the rest of the community (the meeting minutes are public). Generally, committers employed by Fedora Commons are present at these meetings, and committers from other organizations may attend as the time/need dictates.
