So as well committers recognize this.
why do people want to become PMC chair?
Because it is recognition.
you mean that's it? Just recognition?!
Yes. I believe it is because recognition.
Related to that, do you think a PMC chair should be
active within the community in order to represent it?
And how would you define being active?
It is not clear to me what do you mean by "active within the community
in order to represent it". Why the PMC chair must be active all the
time? Everybody needs a break from time to time, right? Or what are you
expecting? A reply from the PMC chair to every mail on the list? That
makes somebody being labeled as "active within the community". Sorry,
but I will not expect that from a PMC chair.
I can say, the PMC chair must use his hat only when needed. It is more
or less a tradition in the ASF, people prefer to not use his assigned
hats as most as posible. Hence, using the hats also depends on the
community needs. And if such case appears, it is often discussed first
on the PMC list. People votes and then the PMC chair shows up
representing the PMC.
BTW, when somebody becomes elected PMC chair it is a recognition from
his peers.
Thanks for sharing it.
Another one:
We should ask http://www.canonical.com/ to sponsor our releases like
they do with http://www.ubuntu.com/
"Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from hundreds of companies
around the world. Ubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new
release is made every six months. Each release is supported with free
security updates and fixes for at least 18 months."
wdyt?
where do you see the relationship between canonical and
Apache Lenya? What exactly do you propose?
I think it is an option. If nobody wants to take the RM job, we can
ask canonical to do the job for us, right? --> Seems like canonical
understand "crazy American dreams" ;-)
indeed. So the deal would basically be canonical would do the
release (resp. do the dishes) and because of that they can set their
name below it, right?
In the sense "the build of this release was done by canonical".
And this although they have no connection at all so far with Apache
Lenya, right?
Please note, I am not pushing for canonical here. I don't knew this
company and I never saw his website before it was refered in this
thread, hence I cannot speak up about conditions related to his sponsorship.
Anyhow, we can stop considering canonical.com. It does not makes sense
invite a third party to sponsors our releases. For this reason, I
already started a thread proposing myself as the new Release Manager to
stop this non-sense dicussion.
Lets go back to our work instead of writing mails kind of mails. :-)

Antonio Gallardo.
