Description

The EDP currently requires that all mentors come from the Eclipse Architecture Council. In recent years we've run into trouble identifying mentors for projects in new spaces because we lack members who have experience into those technology areas.

There are, however, others in the community who are capable of mentoring. We might, for example, consider a developer with at least one year of experience as a committer on a mature project to be a good candidate.

Ideally, we're looking for somebody who understands the Eclipse Foundation's processes and is willing to help.

On today's call we, discussed this criteria:

• Committer for at least one year; and\
• Committer on a project in the mature phase.

Anything else? e.g. should we look for evidence of CQ activity?
