Margaret, Thanks for making this happen. As the Android/Java maintainer, I think that would be excellent idea where we get together and drive issues, discuss features, discuss workload, releases, testing and etc. I had always thought this was part OSWG instead of separate TSC.

I believe the IoTivity Steering Group (ISG - i...@lists.iotivity.org<mailto:i...@lists.iotivity.org>) currently approves new maintainers and indeed, has already approved Seokhee Lee from LG. hi Aja - would you sync offline w George to make sure the above change is made in the places it needs to be made? I can send an email to the ISG regarding Ondrej Tomcik as the new maintainer of IoTivity Cloud and also suggest two new sub-maintainers Peter Rafaj and Jozef Kralik (not sure sub-maintainers need to be approved per se.) It has been Thiago's (Community Manager) desire that maintainers form a TSC along with any functional leads (e.g., QA lead) and that the TSC be empowered to make these types of decisions moving forward ... thus rendering the ISG's role to be more focused on project administration. Perhaps we can pursue that path once Ondrej is approved, Margaret From: iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org> <iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org>> On Behalf Of George Nash Sent: Monday, June 11, 2018 1:32 PM To: iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org> Cc: seokhee....@lge.com<mailto:seokhee....@lge.com>; jihyeok13....@samsung.com<mailto:jihyeok13....@samsung.com>; Ondrej Tomcik <ondrej.tom...@kistler.com<mailto:ondrej.tom...@kistler.com>> Subject: [dev] What is the process for appointing new project maintainers/sub-maintainers In the last few weeks we have had multiple requires to update/change a maintainers role. It is unclear to me what is the process for updating or changing a maintainers role. There does not seem to be a process in place. I could not find one listed here: https://wiki.iotivity.org/doku.php?id=projects_and_functions We have had a request to update the roles for two projects: Platform Support and IoTivity Cloud. The wiki lists the following for each role. Platform Support Architect: Dan Mihai Maintainer: Dan Mihai Sub-Maintainers: Dan Mihai (Windows), Rick Bell<mailto:richard.s.b...@intel.com> (Android), Phil Coval (Tizen, Ubuntu) Gerrit Code Review Group: 'Platform Maintainers' The Platform Support<https://wiki.iotivity.org/platform_support> Project is responsible for all platform-specific support including Windows/Android/iOS and so on. The maintainer sets guidelines and organizes the framework, and each specific platform can have a sub-maintainer to handle details specific to that platform. IoTivity Cloud Architect: (vacant) Maintainer: JeeHyeok Kim Sub-Maintainer: Ziran Sun, Habib Virji The IoTivity Cloud<https://wiki.iotivity.org/iotivity_cloud> Project is responsible for extending accessibility of IoTivity devices and scenarios using some techniques like Http to CoAP proxy, OAuth 2 over CoAP and so on. Users can access their devices under their prefer accounts through cloud. Also when user share credential to other services, they can access to user devices for automated control. We already know that Dan Mihai has left the IoTivity project. We have the email from him saying that he is unable to fulfill that role so the wiki really should be updated to read that Architect: (vacant), Maintainer: (vacant) also the sub-maintainer for windows should also be (vacant). We really do need a new maintainer for Platform Support. The WebOS commit has been stuck in review for weeks due to not having a maintainer. LG has nominated Seokhee Lee to the position of Platform maintainer and I believe he has agreed to accept the position. The IoTivity Cloud project is a little different there does not appear to be any feedback from any of the current maintainers or sub-maintainers. I did a search through several projects and I have not seen any feedback from any of the current listed maintainers for at least the last 3 months. Including a long discussion on this email list about the Cloud. There has been some discussion whether "Cloud" is the correct phrase for the project function. Regardless of the name of the project it is clear we need a solution that will enable IoTivity/OCF to reach beyond the local subnet. From what I have gathered the current maintainers have not been able to reach the needs of developers using IoTivity Cloud and for that reason Ondrej Tomcik has requested to be a new maintainer and he has suggested two new sub-maintainers Peter Rafaj and Jozef Kralik. I don't want to lose potential community members just because we have done a poor job maintaining clear leadership for IoTivity. Does anyone know the process for appointing/changing new project maintainers/sub-maintainers? George Nash -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
