I don't know exactly how the decision about new committers is made, but here is the anwser for the other parts of your questions. http://www.freebsd.org/internal/new-account.html I am sure some of the new committers will be glad to tell you how the became one: http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html#2003August15:0 I can it works that way: you write lots of usefull patches and send them to the lists or to the PR database, until somebody who is already a FreeBSD committer suggests you to become one. > 2.

This is described here: http://www.freebsd.org/internal/expire-bits.html Good luck with your thesis, Simon [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/QTvACkn+/eutqCoRAkykAKDDpjDxdx4opk0PV7ZZsTK3FuAuqQCfZiKf AajK76EcK7Bi7iUd+fr9UL4= =2Q2c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
