I started with something like this, but don't like the way it
sounded:
It should be a goal of a project to have all committers
participate in the PPMC. A committer who expresses interest in
the governance of the project should ask to become part of the
PPMC. Membership in the PPMC should be gated by continued
commitment to the project and an expressed interest in PPMC
membership.
I don't like that either - i don't like the idea of having people
ask, because then there's the uncomfortable part of saying "no".
I'd much rather encourage (P)PMCs to take an *active* role in this
kind of community development, rather than re-active, which is
what you are proposing.
Actually I'm copying verbatim from another discussion on the
incubator, that I naively thought was consensus -- turned out to be
just a well-argumented position from another incubator member.
heh :)
maybe I'm naive - I want to see Apache communities develop a sense
of independent identity and community, and that actually takes
committment and effort by those participating.
I agree. I'll come up with another version of the PPMC proposal and
run it by the general list again.
Thanks for all your comments. They give me a much better
appreciation for what we're looking for.
At the end of the day, they are just my POV :) I think I'll go look
at the incubator list...
