Commit access nomination: Blake Edwards

[Colin Clark]

Blake,

The committers group voted on granting you commit access to the Fluid  
repository. We voted -1. That said, we're committed to helping you get  
to the point where we all feel confident in welcoming you as a  
committer.

In general, there was a concern that much of the community is still  
unaware of the VULab code. You're doing all the right things: posting  
patches, sharing your knowledge (e.g. with our website), and talking  
more openly about VULab. But it's too early. Most of the committers  
group haven't had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with your  
work and codebase, and we'd like to see more patches from you.

Things you can do to change the vote to +1:

1. Connect with other committers to get help and to review patches.

Jacob Farber, Eli Cochran, and Michelle D'Souza have all agreed to  
lend a hand by reviewing your patches. They're happy to help and get  
to know the code better, mentoring you along the way. So now you'll  
have more eyes on your code, and more help getting your work into the  
repository quickly.

2. Stay visible: send more frequent updates about the progress and  
plans of VULab to the list. Stay in touch on the IRC channel and other  
hot points for developer collaboration in the community.

3. Keep doing what you're doing: submitting patches, talking on the  
list, etc.

I this vote isn't too discouraging for. We we all really impressed by  
the work you've done to bring VULab out into the community. Keep it up!

Colin
