Shepherds are assigned by the IPMC to review podling reports. They are meant to give an outside perspective on the project, so mentors cannot act as the shepherd too. More details are here:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorShepherds I see at the top of the October2015 report wiki page that Andrei Savu was assigned as our shepherd, at least for this month. http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/October2015 I don't think there is anything more for us to do regarding a shepherd. The report content looks great to me. I recommend adding a brief mention that the content has launched on http://apex.incubator.apache.org/, because it's quite nice! :-) I'll wait to hear if any other mentors have feedback, and then I'll apply my formal +1 to the report tomorrow. Chetan, thank you for putting this together quickly. --Chris Nauroth On 9/29/15, 4:24 PM, "Chetan Narsude" <[email protected]> wrote: >Here is the draft. @Mentors please refine the draft.
