| − | IMPORTANT: | + | IMPORTANT: Committers should be people who will actually write code, being a committer is an actual commitment of time. Please also note that committerness is an individual trait. If a committer changes employers, they remain a committer. New committers arise via meritocracy after the project is created, this typically involves some time of establishing history of meritocractic code contribution to the project.. Therefore, it is crucial that a committer is committed to ongoing work on the project in the longer term, not just short term. For more information on how committers are added after project creation see: |

| − | + | The goal here is to capture the degree of vendor neutrality of the code. | |
| − | + | The concerns are two fold: avoiding trademark issues, and maintaining openness. | |
| + | For this reason, use of vendor names should be purely functional, and only if necessary to | ||

| + | Acceptable Examples: | ||
