A mentor doesn't have more formal powers than any IPMC member but he
is a member of the PPMC, so you can add him as a mentor as soon as you
have consensus for that within VXQuery. Different podlings have
measured that consensus in different ways, often lazy consensus is
enough or then a formal vote is used. Once you've done that, simply
inform the IPMC by updating your status page.

Sounds good.

 Of course this means we should figure our exactly what low diversity is.
 As discussed recently low diversity is not a problem if the project can
 demonstrate it is open to newcomers.

Right. I'm even thinking that we should drop the low diversity label
and simply replace it with a more generic not yet ready to graduate
one until we have a better shared understanding of the things podlings
falling into that category still need to do.

 Given I committed to find a way for ComDev to support the Incubation
 process do you think this is a starting point?

Yes. Going through all the podlings in that category and trying to
spot common patterns and areas of potential trouble or improvement
would be my first step here.

Not ready for graduation is also too generic, for thw low diversity case
we can have of lacking to attract new committers , in that case maybe the
podling community can explain why to the IPMC also /w the help of Mentors
and hence we are able to evaluate whether the reasons are really valid not
to graduate or not

For examle Isis is a very active and healthy community but it took a while
till new blood comes into the community, which is changing recently but I
believe it happens to other podlings as well

But in general as u mentioned more investigations about categories of such
cases is idd required

Re: VXQuery: A Mentor's View

2012-07-16 Thread Vinayak Borkar
The VXQuery PPMC just concluded a vote to add Jochen Wiedmann as a 
mentor for the VXQuery project. The vote passed with the whole PPMC in 
favor of the addition.


When I went to add Jochen to the project status page, I noticed that he 
is already listed as a mentor.


Now I guess its official that Jochen is a mentor for the VXQuery project.


Thanks for the support,
Vinayak
