All of the committers when voted in were not from IBM (all of the six initial committers were from IBM since it was an IBM contribution). Subsequently through the Gluecode acquisition one of those committers (the first, Jeremy Boynes) became employed by IBM. Derby has reached the threshold of three independent committers. :-) And all Derby committers are part of the derby-ppmc. (derby-ppmc is working on getting the visible status file at the incubator site up to date. The source STATUS file is up to date and lists the committers and votes (thanks Jeremy), but there is some issue in procedure in getting the source version reflected in the built site).
