Hi
After reading the thread, two of questions came to my mind, i.e. What is the Responsibility of ALC member? How to become a ALC member? Moreover, i guess other ALCs will have the same questions as well. From the ALC doc[1], we can learn that the responsibilities of ALC are mostly related to Apache way, so if the responsibilities of a member is to help do those things, that means a member at least has a basic understanding of Apache or did some contributions? Secondly, if many of people who may has no understanding of Apache, or just want to be a member (for interest?), is it ok to include him as a member? Is there any condition or bar? IMO, we may consider nomination and vote for a member. Our upcoming online meet up is a good chance to discuss. See you then.

Yes, we are. We could discuss this more on Thur. online meeting.

I think I understand what Willem proposed and I agree on the low bar aspect, but I think the way the term bar is used may create unnecessary misunderstandings. This being an ASF local community, it must be guided by ASF standards (let's not call them rules). This is in the interest of advancing the ASF values we believe in and proved successful for over 2 decades. From this point of view the people who are organizing the community must know what they're are doing, Sheng Wu you are correct. There should be a way in which the organizers (or members or whatever word we choose to describe that PMC member like role) communicate with each other, build consensus and execute. If necessary, they are smart and experienced enough to ask for advice from an ASF officer or the board, whatever the case may be. On the other side, thinking about the intent behind the ACL Beijing, it is not intended (I assume) as a private club, but a way to promote open source and the ASF. From this point of view the community should be inclusive, there should be a low bar to entry, there should be good and active mentoring of new individuals (whatever we call them if not members) and they should be encouraged, helped, guided, mentored to be successful with open source, ASF projects and the ASF way in particular. Interested and talented individuals will get the karma in ASF projects and will go as far as they want, and will get a better understanding of what the ASF is about. The 'status' in the ACL Beijing will come from their contributions to open source projects, not the fact that they 'joined the club'. And to be clear, contributions don't mean just code contributions. IMHO, it matters less if those who join are called members of the ALC, what matters is what they do and how they are helped to become successful and how they help others to become successful. Actually the term member is a bit overloaded at the ASF as well. I remember many cases when newly voted PMC members thought they are members of the foundation, and it took a bit for them to understand the difference. So, from what I read in the thread above, I see you all being mostly in agreement, but are referring to different (and important) aspects.

But no bar? I don't think this is a reasonable idea. As ALC we will use the Apache branding and Apache ALC branding, I prefer there should be some guides, otherwise, how should we protect it? And more, how should we make sure, the member could talk about the culture of Apache basically correct(I wouldn 't say accurate, but at least, not misguide)? -- This question is suitable for JianSheng too. How about the next one asking joining the ALC, what should we do? If he is also not an Apache committer/PMC/member again Sheng Wu 吴晟 Twitter, wusheng1108 Willem Jiang <willem.ji...@gmail.com> 于2020年2月25日周二 下午5:18写道： I don't think we need to setup a bar on the people who want to join the ALC. As we are short of hand to advocate the Apache way in China. I think JianSheng can provide a great help for us. ALC is not a Apache project, current we don't have the PMC or Committers, but I think community PMC can give us some guide and advices for it. Current the member of ALC Beijing are the active committers of Apache or other people who interesting about it. We may need to discuss a way how to introduce new blood in a meritocracy way. The main purpose of ALC is building a local community around ASF projects, helping Apache projects cooperate with each other, and let Chinese community to know better about Apache Software Foundation. For the content we provide for the local audience should follow the Apache Way and for the logo and branding related issues we also need the approve from Apache Branding officer.

What is different between a member and not a member? To be clear, I am not objecting, I just don't get the context. In all other TLP project, member sometimes means a committer of ASF or that project. Which is the bar(s) of an ALC member? Or even is there a bar for this? The deep reason I asked about this, is from my understanding the ALC member needs to follow the Apache way, keep the branding used in the right way, and so on. To Jian Sheng Please don't feel I am not welcoming you to join or unfriendly. Really, I am not stopping you. I know the contributions you made for the Apache/Apache Way/Open source. I just want this community organized in the right and recommended way.
