Hi,

I've been thinking for a while about this issue... because my current
feeling in that the community has not really landed in ASF. Yes, you are
creating issues, pull requests, commiting code, etc. But there is no much
discussion in the mailing list. For instance, checking the mail archives of
[email protected]
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.s2graph.dev it's
clear something is happening behind the scenes. I can't find any other
reason how I can be the second most active person (excluding jira and
github bots) in this mailing list.

So that leads me to think that you still meet face-to-face on regular
basis, you privately agree on the next steps and then you behave as you did
before as a company, but just on public coding infrastructure. And that's
not supposed to happen in the Apache Way, where decisions are taken in the
community. Actually there is a common say in Apache: "If it didn't happen
on a mailing list, it didn't happen".

I may be wrong, and I hope to be wrong, but that's my current feeling. So,
my advice as mentor, and actually it's one of the points I stressed when
the project entered incubation, is that you have to focus to grow your
community outside Kakao. For instance, I miss the discussion about the
first release. Such kind of thing, you know.

Cheers,
