Hi Craig, <snip> One thing that would help, especially in the case of qpid, is to document whether the committers feel that they are independent. That is, whether they would continue to contribute to the project on their own time even if their employer reassigned them to a different project. This is a great idea, and probably a more useful measure (in some ways) than simple employer disclosure. (Not that I have any desire to open up the suppurating sore that that discussion is !) We could list this on our graduation resolution, particularly where people's affiliation is not listed.
