Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
Hi, There’s two ways to join the IPMC: 1. If you are an ASF member and they are automatically in* 2. The current IPMC can vote on someone into the IPMC* The issue with 2 is that it hard to recognise people who want to be IPMC member, so my proposal is more about getting those people more easily recognised, rather than any real change of the requirements. It’s more a change in perception of what’s required. The list I provided is just a suggested list that would hopefully indicate that they may have the required skills and experience to be considered for IPMC membership, I too would like to see more innovation and diversity, so if you think someone would make a good IPMC member but they don’t fit what’s on that list please propose them on the private list (and give reasons(s) why they would make a good IPMC member) and the IPMC will consider and possibly vote them in.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
- I think we should explicitly look at the proposal and mentors listed and then express any concerns. I am not sure am I missing some important discussion for the qualification of the IPMC :-) I read some of the reply carefully and very agree with explicitly list some concerns when we guide podling for their initial proposal, release notice. I have learn some points from the John and Justin share at ApacheCon. But with few green mentors to join the IPMC, Could we consider list it explicitly? I would like to see the Apache Projects could be more innovative and diversity.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
Justin, I think it's a great idea. Podling project leads know the up-to-date ASF incubation process very well. It helps finding active mentors. As a release manager and PPMC of an incubator project, requiring more active mentor(s), I would be glad to give help the following podling projects. > - has been involved in an incubating project from start to finish BTW, is this (made a TLP project from incubator) a requirement? Or, on-going incubating project PPMC membe or committers can join to IPMC?

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
+1 to the new proposals.

This is part of the issue, but I think with a large IPMC and a very large pool of potential people it's a lot harder to recognise people with merit compared to other PMCs. Anyone that is brought up for discussion, unless they are well known to several active IPMC members, doesn't tend to go anywhere. (e.g. see last person I brought up for possible inclusion in the IPMC). Its also hard to recognise people who have merit from working in their podling (or even several podlings) as an IPMC member needs to be active in all of podlings to se that activity. And finally when we do recognise people, there's probably a greater chance (compared to other PMCs) that they may not be interested in joining the IPMC as it may be tangential to their interests. > (4) As merit is acquired we VOTE on private@incubator.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
Hi, Bertrand recommendation on having at least one ASF mentor or experienced mentor seems sensible to me. Dave it is the case that some experienced IPMC mentor dropout. we currently need more mentors to replace missing ones than we do for new incubating projects, so initial most of these people are likely to help out on existing projects. Re measurement “criteria", these are just some indicators not hard rules set in stone, but I think we need to give people something to go by otherwise we wont get anyone volunteering (as Myrle said). I would consider any PMC member who volunteered, but some may not have the right experience, (e.g. they were voting in due to code contributions, but have little experience with community building, policy or releases) Thanks, Justin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

(1) We have elected non-members to the IPMC. I was one. We should be more active in identifying merit. (2) We take Justin’s and/or your list of criteria. (3) We discuss potential IPMC candidates on private using the Beam model discussed dev@community. Specifically we start threads on private@incubator to track candidates as soon as an IPMC identifies a podling member getting the Apache Way. (4) As merit is acquired we VOTE on private@incubator. This approach follows the Apache Way. It makes the IPMC more closely operate like all other PMCs that are under the Board.

I think your counter-proposal would just push work to the Board (who simply won't do it), and may result in podlings getting stuck with inactive mentors, and limbo'ed releases. Perhaps it's possible to cut the original list down to things that are measurable, and change the approach from one of enforcement to one of enlistment: * Is willing and able to review and vote on releases for the podling. * Is willing and able to coach the podling in proposing and accepting committers/PPMC members. The real goal here, I think, is not to specify criteria that the IPMC or the board can apply. The real goal is two-fold: a.) to give a potential mentor the information necessary to determine if they can do the job. And b.) to create an instrument of commitment. The mentor commits to involve themselves in specific ways in the podling's incubation. Best Regards, Myrle

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
I like this. I had the (apparently accurate) impression that ASF membership was the usual route to podling mentorship. I'm very interested in mentorship generally and ways I can help out ASF - so they might someday intersect in the formal role of podling mentor. It is nice to see a path that is not gated on ASF membership.

Great ideas, thanks Justin!

The IPMC is a PMC just like any other PMC. How the PMC decides to choose new PMC members to recommend for a board ACK is up to the PMC, as long as it's documented clearly. > Currently the IPMC can vote people in (which is not so common) or an ASF > member can request it.

IMO the "ASF Members can request recommendation without vote" is because of two factors: experience and oversight. We (hope) Members have the skills as you note as well. Separately, since the IPMC is overseeing a wide range of communities with an eye to inviting them to become an official Apache project, we should allow Members to formally join the IPMC to help oversee this process, since ...snip... > Then they can ask the IPMC to join to IPMC by sending an email to private@ > listing what they have been involved in.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
Hi Justin Very interesting proposal. And I like it, also willing to request for that :) >From my experience, several projects have invited me or involved me in, such >as Zipkin(Incubating) and IoTDB(In Incubator discussion). But because I can't >be podling project mentor, based on Apache member rule you mentioned, I just >show up as a contributor. If I could be the mentor for these projects, will be >great. Anyway, glad to see we have new option to solve `not enough mentor` issue. Thanks Justin.

[PROPOSAL] Changing requirements for IPMC
Hi, I looked at the board resolution for the creation of the IPMC [1] and it says nothing about how IPMC members should be added so from that I take it that the IPMC can decide how it wants to do that. Currently the IPMC can vote people in (which is not so common) or an ASF member can request it. I’m not sure where the ASF member requirement came from and wasn’t able to find the discussion about this on the incubator list. (If anyone knows please point me to it.) In theory an ASF member should have the knowledge and skills to mentor a project, however I also think those who have gone through the incubating process, have voted on releases and proposed or accepted new committers and PMC members probably know just as much even if they are not ASF members. They may not have as much experience but shovel at least know the basics. Now identifying everyone who has done this would not be be easy to determine and the Venn diagram of them and people who want to be mentors is probably small (but still significant in numbers). So I propose this: If someone has done several of the following: - has been involved in an incubating project from start to finish - has been a release manager - has assembled LICENSE and NOTICE files - has reviewed and voted on releases - has proposed or accepted committers/PPMC members Then they can ask the IPMC to join to IPMC by sending an email to private@ listing what they have been involved in. The IPMC would VOTE on them, and there’s a chance they could be rejected, but given it’s a private vote I don’t think any harm is done if that happens. Also people could nominate other people who fit into this above group. I’d like to see this used for people who are wanting to be mentors, rather than just having binding votes on releases. I don’t have an issue with the later (and I think the IPMC currently does a decent job of catching any issues with releases they come their way), but that’s what I’m trying to solve with this proposal. i.e. We currently need more mentors and will need even more as ASF scales up. The subject line is actually a lie. All this really changes is that people can bring themselves or be brought to the attention of the IPMC, rather than having the IPMC actively trying to find people from graduated projects who then may or may not want to be IPMC members. We could start this off as an experiment. and take the first few people who request it, and see how it goes with more experienced mentors observing and/ or helping them. What do people and the IPMC think of this proposal? Good idea or not? Could it work with some modifications? Is it not needed at all?
