Dongjoon Hyun updated SPARK-47212:
----------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 4.2.0
(was: 3.3.4)
> When creating Jira please use the word "mentor" instead of "Shepherd" in SPIP
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-47212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47212
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: Mich Talebzadeh
> Priority: Minor
>
> As an active member I am proposing a move to replace the current terminology
> "SPIP Shepherd" with the more respectful and inclusive term "SPIP Mentor." We
> have over the past few years have tried to replace some past terminologies
> with more acceptable ones.
> While some may not find "Shepherd" offensive, it can unintentionally imply
> passivity or dependence on community members, which might not accurately
> reflect their expertise and contributions. Additionally, the shepherd-sheep
> dynamic might be interpreted as hierarchical, which does not align with the
> collaborative and open nature of Spark community.
> *"SPIP Mentor"* better emphasizes the collaborative nature of the process,
> focusing on supporting and guiding members while respecting their strengths
> and contributions. It also avoids any potentially offensive or hierarchical
> connotations.
