[MENTORS] Missing mentors and mentor report signoff

2020-01-08 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

I just had a look at the last two years of incubator repost and who hasn’t been 
signing off reports. There's a strong correlation between not signing reports 
off and missing mentors. Of course a mentor may be helping out in other ways 
but it a good indication that they may be missing.

I think that missing a couple of reports is fine but if you missing more than 
50% then I is quite possible you’re not paying attention to what is going on.

There are 15 mentors who IMO have not been signing off reports on a regular 
basis and I’ll be sending them an email asking if they want to continue to be 
mentor for those podlings.

Thanks,
Justin

Provided OpenWhisk has another podling report before graduation. Otherwise,
I’ll have missed out on sign offs entirely by joining too late. 

You’re fine, the 13 people I extracted from this I’ve not listed anywhere 
public. They probably know who they are and hopefully decide what best for 
their podlings if they are not being active.

I think the biggest take away is last time we look at this I think there was 70 
odd mentors flagged as potentially missing. This is a huge improvement aver 
last time, and possibly shows that mentors are being more engaged and active.

The report has some limitations:
- It’s parsed from the incubator reports so it can only go off what text is in 
that. 
- Som times it’s not 100% correct
- The podlings are listed form oldest to newest left to right.
- Orange mean you missed a sign-off, blue you signed off the report.
- It includes podlings that have graduated
- It includes people who are no longer mentors.

Having dates of sign-offs would probably help and  would separating current 
podlings from graduated one and indicating where some one is no longer a mentor,

Missing Mentors

2019-05-09 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

A while back we went though the process of identifying missing mentors and t 
was discussion that there a good correlation between not signing off reports 
and being missing. Whimsey has a page that tracks this [1].

From  [1] I can see a number of mentors that have not been signing off reports. 
Do people think it time to ask those mentor who are not being active to either 
become more involved or step down?

The good news is that with some mentors standing down (who appear on that 
list), and some projects graduating there’s only only 13 mentors I’ve 
identified that we need to check if they still want to continue or have the 
time to help their podling out. That’s huge improvement over last time.

There also seems to be another (slightly weaker correlation) that more than 1/2 
of these people have not signed up to the podlings private list. Now mails can 
be read on list.apache.org but that’s probably another good indicator along 
with not signing or reports and not checking releases.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: Podlings likely missing mentors

Hi Adam,

Thanks for hat perspective it helps.

The issue I think you may currently have in an inattentive PPMC, rather than a 
lack of mentors (although that may not also help), you have 10 people on the 
PPMC but they missed repeated enquires on the the dev and private lists.

Mentors are IPMC member so their vote counts, but there usually enough IPMC 
members who vote on release that they don’t mentor, I’ve already voted so can’t 
vote twice. I would just ask again and emphasise how long the vote has been 
hanging.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: Podlings likely missing mentors

Hi, Justin

Just copy discussion in private@weex to this thread and explain our demands for 
extra active mentors.

We sent a mail to all the mentors in May and only Willem responded.  Missing 
active mentors is a big problem to Weex community and we mentioned it in last 
podling reports.

The next big thing is the community release, we hope to make it done asap,  we 
studies hard to be familiar with the procedure and have made 5 release 
candidates.  We sent a release vote to general@ nearly a month ago,  we still 
need one more +1 but no feedback.  Maybe it is also due to the lack of active 
mentors.

So we will be very appreciated if anyone would like to be our mentor and help 
us with the incubating journey.


Thanks.

- The podling doesn't need much help

I believe the reason 3 mentor were originally needed was to get incubator

Do any of the podlings listed above think they need an extra mentor? Or

do other mentors on those projects think another is required? A few e.g.
(Annotator, Daffodil, Milagro) have been discussed already.

I think SensSoft could do with another Mentor. We are approaching some
rebranding issues, we also wish to really get going on graduation and
another set of eyes on the podling at this critical stage would be very
helpful indeed.
