Hi Justin, Daniel, Thank you for your answer.

Justin, one more question, are Default Guidelines, you've prepared some
time ago, applicable only for projects under incubation or it is inherited
'as is' to TLP?

Re: [DISCUSS] Responsibilities and Improvements (was: Re: Whimsy general@ subs check

2019-03-06 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Daniel,

There are two independent questions here.

1) Removal question and its allowance in general:  this question asked
during every talk I gave related to ASF. My fellows ask me if someone can
remove Committer or PMCs. Some folks think it is possible by the vote of
PMC. They refer to docs I've shared: mnemonic project & incubator guide.

Here I need some general understanding which I can use for
answering questions.

2) Inactive members removal: Lack of active PMCs member makes me thinks
that at some point some removal will be necessary. We can
continuously grow the roster for a TLP project, but sometimes I feel there
are ~30 members and only 5-7 active members. So why don't we narrow the
roster to 7 and invite new members?

It looks reasonable that if you want a binding vote, approve releases,
propose new committers you need to join community communication channels
and be there.  My idea is, first of all, ask PMCs if they want to stay or
leave and, second of all, to always keep committership, because it is based
on merit.

And here for option 2, I don't have any severe issues to address. If it a
bad idea, not a problem. In that case, I also would be happy if I
understand this topic better.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

Hi Ross,

Thank you for your reply. Apache Ignite PMCs do not support this idea, so
inactive PMCs will be still there.

But still, it is not clear for me in general, why following
projects/guidelines contains removal procedure for Committer PMC:
- https://mnemonic.apache.org/develop/bylaws/  after 6 months of inactivity
both PMC and Committer status may be removed.
- Default Incubator guidelines
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/DefaultProjectGuidelines It contains
procedures of consensus-based removal, - it is ok to remove for Incubator?
is it ok for TLP?

If both PMC & Committer roles are merit-based, and merit does not expire,
how it even possible to remove TLP committer/PMC (excepting some extreme
cases)?

This question is not only mine, but it is also often asked and I would like
to know the answer.

Dmitriy Pavlov

2019-03-05 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
I absolutely agree with Greg Stein. I can't find any single reason to keep
unsubscribed members of IPMC in the roster. These members can be asked to
subscribe, and if they do, then ok; if don't - it is perfectly ok to remove.

Similarly, I don't see reasons for having inactive TLP PMC members. I've
suggested the same change in Apache Ignite, but I don't clearly understand
why remained members resisting this change.

Hi Lars,

Thank you for proposing and driving this topic.

Surely, we can wait, but I'm absolutely sure more committers gives a
greater variety of technical visions. Moreover, we didn't change anything
essential in the proposal. I'm pretty sure a number of contributors may and
will come later.

Re: [DISCUSS] Training (incubating) Proposal

2019-02-04 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Lars,

About the project: I've got only one thing to say here: Apache Incubator is
intended to be a place where a community is build up and everybody (mostly
newcomers) learn guides and policies. So straight-to-TLP is also a possible
option, but some incubation process isn't bad at all. But still, it is up
to board to decide if we go to TLP without incubation.

I'm now interested in more technical aspects of contributing to Apache
Training: source code for labs, presentations.

For example, I can start working on Apache Ignite training, so I will need
to contribute 2 types of presentations (source and prepared for students),
project code for labs, solved labs, publish it using some website or wiki.
Are there any VCS compatible presentation development tools? Can we use,
for example, Google Docs for presentations?

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

Re: [DISCUSS] Training (incubating) Proposal

2019-01-30 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Lars,

I'd like to be a part of this. I'm PMC at Apache Ignite. Sometimes I need
to give individual feedback to developers related to both Apache policies
and spirit of developing software in a community way. Why not invest effort
into training and education materials instead?

I gave several talks in Russia related to The Apache Software Foundation and
blog about The Apache Way. I also assist newcomers joining Apache Ignite.
So count on my support, and I definitely would like to became committer at
Training.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

Re: Voting in new IPMC members

2018-11-08 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi,

I also think any negative votes -1 are veto for committer and PMC.
Assigning roles in a community is a very sensitive subject so allowing veto
seems natural for me, but playing democracy is dangerous. We still have for
example -0.9 vote that means not a veto but disagreement.

Sincerely,
Dmitry Pavlov

Re: Default project guidelines

2018-09-16 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Justin,

Thank you for such a short and informative article. I'll definitely link to
it from Apache Ignite wiki space.

What do you think about including a link to
http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html  This page also gives a good
level of understanding what should and should not a potential committer or
PMC do.

I've also don't understand how the process of committer removal connected
with principles:
- Meritocracy
- Merit does not expire

How and when committer may be removed? Is it applicable to TLP projects?

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

Re: Project probe: AsyncFlows Framework

2018-09-12 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Constantine,

Anyway, thank you for bringing this idea here. I hope the project will find
enthusiasts.

About similar projects, it's totally not a problem. Let's Darwin decide.

About community. Unfortunately, it is a paramount thing in Apache projects.
If there are no sufficient volunteers involved, the project has a high risk
that development is stopped and the project is retired.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov
