Dear XXXX, On behalf of all the DSpace committers, I would like to extend to you an invitation to join the group. Your work on DSpace evincesindicates an abiding interest in the platform, and we all feel you would be a valuable addition to our team. Being a committer means participating in the evolution of the platform, typically by making changes to the source code, or managing the integration of contributions made by the community at large. But it also means having a voice and a vote on technical, administrative and release management issues, providing your expertise and guidance on the lists, organizing testing, etc. We are mindful of the fact that no one is being paid to do this, and no specific time commitment is required or expected; in fact we *do* expect that one's involvement will fluctuate over time with job duties. Nor is there any specified term of office - one's job responsibilities may change over time, and so one's ability to devote time to DSpace. We ask that you seriously consider this offer, and hope that you will accept it! Sincerely, The DSpace Committers Group. |
