The idea was first brought up over a year ago by a member of the community, although it's been me dragging my feet. They are actually an ASF member (V/P of a TLP) and it seems they could potentially serve as a sponsor, however, I wanted to also get feedback from others. Admittedly the community is still small, however, and part of the goal here is to help transition from me doing most of the PRs to a much more sustainable, community-led project team. One gotcha to be aware of is that Apache expects project work to happen both > openly and on-record. We actually do already do many of the things that Apache projects do, including: - open/on-record conversations for all but a few things (email invites to committer status, for example) - meritocracy invites (a quality PR or two gets that invite) - care with licensing of dependencies - attempts to build community involvement by encouraging newcomers to open source to submit PRs. Does it relate to one or more existing Apache project? If so, that would > be a good > place to look for folks who'll take an interest. > Good suggestion, thanks. We are a dependency of at least 4 apache projects that I'm aware of (two TLP, two incubating) and I may inquire on those lists for interest. -- Dan Widdis
