I’ve served as the LFNGB Committer for the past year which gave me the opportunity to understand more about LF Networking as a whole. The Committer Representative is meant to advocated for the developers and committers in the LFN projects – bringing their concerns to the governing board and ensuring that the developers remain at the center of the LFN. The job is not time consuming: 6 meetings per year plus time to meet offline with project teams to understand their concerns and needs. It is a worthwhile one year commitment for anyone involved in LFN projects.

• The role of the LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR) is to represent the committers and contributors to LFN projects at the LFN Governing board.  The expectation of the LGBMCR is to attend all LFN Governing board meetings (and any appropriate ancillary meetings), gather input from the committer community for issues raised at the board level, and to communicate to the committer community key activities from board.
• LGBMCR is elected for the 1 year. Re-election is not possible.
