So, I didn't get this done before leaving for this trip. I would very
much like to publish something as soon as we can after the new members
start accepting their invitations. Or, if someone beats me to this,
that's even better. I'll be back in the office on April 2, and would
love to record something then, or the day after.

As you may have seen on members@ (those of you who are members) I'd like
to do a series of New Member Orientation sessions (probably video, to be
posted to the ASF YouTube channel, where we cover things like:
* What are the rights and responsibilities of a Member?
* How are members selected/elected?
* What does the Board do?
stuff like that.
Based on my experience with producing this kind of content elsewhere, I
would suggest that we do one topic per video, rather than trying to do a
comprehensive everything video. This would be supplementary content to
go with
https://www.apache.org/foundation/governance/members.html
and
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/foundation/new-member-resources.txt
and will perhaps make that content more accessible to people that are
currently not seeing what has been written, or prefer content in a
different format than the current text.
I am very aware that not everyone on this list is a member. However, I
believe this content will be valuable both as internal and external
resources, to educate the world as to how we operate, while increasing
internal knowledge.
A number of people have indicated, on the members list, that this is a
good and useful thing to do. Now we have to actually do it.
Here's what I see as the way forward:
* Clearly identify the topics to cover. The three above are, I think, a
great place to start.
* Identify who can speak to each one of these and what format we want to
do. I am ready and available to do this in interview style, if desired.
I do this as part of my day job. Or we can do a round-table discussion
type thing, if we wanted to have a few people doing it. Or I can just
start making videos and people can yell at me when I get something
wrong. :-)
* Schedule the recordings.
This is also something that we can do on-site at ApacheCon or other
events where 2 or more of us are gathered. I *always* have my video gear
with me.
