# About Storm External Modules | ||
|
||
##What is "external"? | ||
## What is "external"? | ||
|
||
"external" is a group of modules that while not required for storm to operate, are useful for extending Storm in order to | ||
provide additional functionality such as integration with other technologies frequently used in combination with Storm. | ||
|
||
External modules are released in tandem with Storm in order to maintain version compatibility. | ||
|
||
Each external module is assigned one or more "Committer Sponsors" who have expressed interest in supporting the module. | ||

## What is a Committer Sponsor? | ||
|
||
A Committer Sponsor is simply an Apache Storm Committer who has expressed interest in supporting a module in one way or | ||
another. For any given module, we hope to have at least one sponsor to provide some level of protection against code rot | ||
and abandonware. | ||
|
||
Note that this in no way implies that Committer Sponsors have any special roles, privileges, or obligations. The Apache | ||
Storm Committers have equal authority over and responsibility for the entire codebase. A Committer Sponsor is | ||
essentially just a Committer who has said: "I'm interested in this module, and am willing to help where I can." | ||
