Re: [OT] How to prevent abusing Apache priviliges

2004-10-17 Thread thorsten
Sorry for starting this thread in two list but I was not sure where to
post it in the first place.

My intention was not to make noise! If I did I am very sorry for that.

I will answer the thread in incubator.

 when one of which is responsible for the topic and the other (community)
 is not responsible for much of anything, only generates noise.
 
 I don't like noise.  It interferes with progress.

[OT] How to prevent abusing Apache priviliges

2004-10-15 Thread thorsten
Hello lists,

what if incubating mentors would abuse their powers to interfer with the
normal evolution of Apache incubation projects. 

I think that mentors could write off-list mails to possible committers
and discourage them to committ to a incubating projects. On the end this
mentor could recommend to the possible incubating committer to work on a
*NON* apache project instead of the incubating project.

THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION TO THE APACHE WAY TO DO THINGS!!!

I reckon we recommend to ban such mentors because they have not
understood the Apache way. I think they not deserve to carry a
@apache.org branding. I am still learning that way but I know that we
are not a marketing place. If they not abusing their powers they are
welcome to help building a good community and good code.

I hope that we can make some rules in Apache to prevent that to happen.
I think a abuse of e.g. mentor powers should be punished by a ban! I
think we do not want that to happen here. So we should make sure that is
not!

How can we make sure that this will not happen in the ASF?

WDYT?

Do you have a concrete case for this or is this just blue-skying?

Hm. That's quite some statement to make. Any fact to back that up?
Of course, this could and should not happen - ever. But seriously: how 
would such power lay in the hands of mentors? Isn't someone supposed 
to disregard such pushy politics, whatever their origin is?

But first and foremost, I'd like to know if and where this has been 
happening - because you seem to suggest so.

A few weeks ago, many people encouraged Niclas Hedhman not to bring 
private matters into the public here.  Now, some people want this issue 
brought into public, whereas others say it should be handled only with 
the Incubator PMC, or possibly the Board.

Upon further thinking, I see that you, Steven, are on the Incubator PMC 
so perhaps you wanted to know about this, but in private.  If so, that 
wasn't entirely clear.

Let's keep our signals straight.
