This is where I think the Incubator has gone awry: the claim that you are an IPMC member implies that you have merit on a project (in the form of a binding vote) is false. Merit should be earned and should be local - and, in that, I think there are some re-adjustments in order as to how the Incubator operates. I'm mildly uncomfortable with mentors who aren't actually involved in the project telling a community what to do - but I accept that as a necessity of the Incubation process. However, I'm much more uncomfortable when folks who have *zero* affiliation (except for being on some distant "PMC") telling a podling what to do because *they* personally believe it is right even when others disagree. > PS: Just make sure to keep close tabs on the bearded Slovenian ;-) Riiiiiiight. =) -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
