Importance of PPMC growth - should committer == PMC? > Agree that building a successful community involves both growing committers as well as growing the PPMC. We should consider how we can encourage community growth at both the committer and PMC level. One topic brought up in the general@ thread was around the distinction between Committer and PMC member. Sentry currently treats committer != PPMC. However, there are many other projects that treat committer == PPMC while in incubation. It's been two years since the project started and we have many new community members - it would be good to revisit whether our initial model is still what makes sense. Perhaps we should move to a Committer == PPMC model? This can probably be spun off into its own discussion thread, interested to hear other people's thoughts. > 2.

One thing I think we should really encourage is for design discussions, roadmap discussions, etc all be held on the dev list rather than on JIRA. If you are solving a hard problem leverage the community to get input. > 3.

If you are interested I encourage taking a look and jumping in to this thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201511.mbox/%3CCADY20s7VZzHA2BVN7oERHFA6AfeCeKj3MMtLb%2BNv-HX6uyvhkw%40mail.gmail.com%3E > 4.

It seems like it has some good topics to think through and see how those apply to Sentry. I'm not in favor of having all graduating project fill this out, but given the healthy discussion that has been going on around Sentry (including some misconceptions) maybe we should do this. > > It would be good to start discussing these within our community to get > every ones thoughts on these topics and if we want to consider any changes > based on all the input we received.
